“Great location, price & roomy accommodation.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed in a suite & a single friend had a room in this hotel. Our suite was very reasonably priced & not much more expensive than our friend's room. Both rooms were very spacious with large double beds & plenty of storage space. Breakfast was not spectacular with rather dry scrambled eggs & bacon, but no worse than others... More

Thank you to the writer for their review of our hotel. I am sorry the eggs were a bit dry. I'll be sure to mention that to the chef. As for the noise from other rooms, again, I am sorry about that. We don't usually have comments about noise from other rooms although it is possible for a neighbor to... More

“Great Small Hotel”

Me and my wife spent five nights at the hotel and were very pleased with it. The room was very very spacious, clean and had a full kitchenette. The staff is super friendly. The hotel is a 5 minutes walk from the harbor and downtown and is in a great, quiet location. We would very much recommend this hotel to... More

“Embassy Inn Victoria - Great location, great staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2013

This was actually a 3.5 star stay for me and my friend. We spent one night at the Embassy Inn, lower tower. It is not the most modern hotel so if that's important to you, look elsewhere. The room was clean with a kitchenette, and the staff very friendly (They allowed me to keep my car there after checkout so... More

“Budget Hotel in a great location”

“Not worth it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2013

The rooms come with a free breakfast but don't order off the menu or that will make them mad and you'll get horrible service. Paper thin walls. Hope your neighbor doesn't snore. My advice would be to stay somewhere else.

I am truly sorry your stay was not up to your standards. I will be sure to speak with the serving staff in the restaurant about your experience.

The staff at the Embassy Inn were absolutely wonderful. Ron at the fronht desk made reservations for us to have lunch at the Parliament building.

We stayed in March, at low season, and it was an inexpensive option, and close to downtown, Parliament, the Museum, inner harbour, restaurants, theatres. But, it is getting a bit frayed and could use some improvement. There may well be better deals to be had downtown on the off season. Complaints: the room quality is going down hill (I have... More

My friend and I were having a weekend getaway in Victoria and chose the Embassy Inn because of its location and price (and free breakfast!)
