I stayed here with my boyfriend for 2 nights. I had read reviews and knew the rating of the hotel and it met my expectations. Nice concierge, but the hotel is so dated and old that I would definitely not stay here again. We got a great deal price-wise, which is why we stayed here, but looking back I do... More

I probably did not look closely enough at the specifications. I knew it was an old hotel, but have stayed in a lot of "older" place boths here and abroad which were updated enough to have the modern conveniences- to begin with, in the more European manner, the "ground floor" was a restaurant, so you had to hike your luggage...

We chose the James Bay Inn as part of a Victoria Clipper package. We chose it because it has personality and because of the location-in an interesting neighborhood within walking distance of stores, Dallas Road/beach, and downtown. Be aware that you must go up at least 12 steps to get to the lobby and more if your room is on... More

This is a really cute place situated in a quiet area in downtown Victoria. Walking distance to all the best tourist attractions (Royal BC Museum, BC Legislature, etc). We booked a one bedroom, the room itself was quite small, it just had room for a bed and a TV. The price was by far one the most inexpensive places in... More

This hotel has a lot of character - the 3rd oldest in Victoria! The room was tiny but adequate. Restaurant was great, food very good. We had breakfast and dinner there and they were both very nice and reasonably priced. The best thing about the hotel is the location. About 5 minutes walk to the harbour and downtown. More

Were in this hotel for 2 nights in early August of 2011. No elevator and we were on the 3rd floor. Quite a challenge carrying bags up now that we are in our 60's. The room was incredibly small with a double bed. In fact the double bed, not a queen or king, took up most of the room. Bathroom... More

I booked a package through Black Ball Line for a one night stay with ferry tickets at James Bay Inn. Based on reviews and pics it seemed pretty decent. Upon arriving and checking into room 119 (right on the street off the lobby) my wife and I were shocked at what we were given. Room was 10 x 10 at... More

The restaurant is very good, the hotel part, will never go back. The hotel has no elevator, so unless you are on the first floor, it is stairs! Lobby is also located going up an outside flight of stairs. Is quite a few blocks from the dock area and not an easy walk to find it. The building itself is... More

Feels like Victoria ! Clean Antique decor, friendly staff, ideal location & very good restaurant/pub; James Bay hotel has it all. More
