Looking at the photos, we were really looking forward to staying at the English Inn. Driving onto the grounds, through the garden area and up to the driveway to the main house really made a cute first impression. Unfortunately, that's where the good impressions stopped. PHOTOS CAN BE DECEIVING!!! Our room in the adjacent building was musty, and dowdy .... more

This hotel was absolutely amazing. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! The grounds were amazing, the rooms were quaint and unique, and the decor is trendy-chic. I love everything about this place, it's a little off the normal "hotel area" in downtown Victoria -- but I think it's much nicer than the Empress. more

After being highly recommended by a good friend who stayed there 4 years ago, we stayed at the English Inn. We were so disgusted with our room, we almost left, but they offered to upgrade us to another room. Our first room had spider webs and spiders, was not very clean - looked like they had not vacuumed under the... more

I really wanted to believe their website and enjoy a charming inn but it was not good. Lack of staff, lack of assistance getting to room, lack of good housekeeping, lack of cleanliness, tons of bugs. Worn carpet, musty bedding that triggered my allergies. It could be such a lovely place, but needs a lot of updates. Lobby/dining room look... more

What a fabulous and quaint place. The hotel is a wonderful country estate (with a large manor house and magnificent gardens) and is located just five minutes from downtown Victoria. The price of my room was excellent and the service was very personal and attentive. I stayed in the old manor house and my room was quaint and overlooked a... more

While in Victoria BC my husband and I found the most wonderful Inn. Hidden in a residential area near downtown is the English Inn. As soon as you leave the road you have been transported to an old English Garden.with this beautiful Manor. I believe there are a variety of room both in the main manor or in the back... more

Waht a fun place to stay. Had a big room with a balcony over the extnesive gardens. Could be a bit hit or miss as each room is different but I enjoyed my time and found the staff friendly. Like the less touristy waterfront park just two blocks south of the hotel. Restaurant was a good deal. Will stay here... more

We recently stayed at this Inn for the first time and were impressed by the staff (Amelia @ Reception and Kim @ the Lounge and Bistro), the size and value of the room, and the historical property and grounds. We would definitely stay there again when in Victoria, as this is a convenient location to downtown without having to be... more

The reviews for this property vary tremendously, with most off the mark. The grounds and main building are gorgeous and well-maintained, although not "perfect." The "manor house" main building has been impeccably renovated with a stellar modern flair. The outbuildings, where I stayed (Carriage House, specifically) are historic tudor-styled structures scattered throughout the 5-acre manicured grounds. The room was adequate... more

The Inn is old, but the grounds are well-maintained, the main hotel has character and beauty, the rooms are gorgeous and the staff was courteous and extremely helpful and pleasant. The rooms have been remodeled and are very accommodating. If you are staying here, it is helpful to understand that this is no Ramada and is not for the traveler... more
