I recently stayed at the Helm's Inn for one week. The room was large and comfortable. There was a fully equipped kitchen with tea, coffee, sugar and coffeemate provided. The only complaint about the room was it was directly on Douglas Street (a very busy street). The weather was beautiful and I wanted my windows open. However, from previous reviews... More

Staff were friendly and helpful, The hotel is locacted next to Beacon Hill Park and the inner harbour. Excellent stay for someone who is not addicted... More

I have stayed several times at Helm's Inn and it suits my needs very well. It is clean and well priced for what you get which is a little kitchenette, TV, full bathroom, fresh coffee and very close to downtown Victoria. Some of the rooms are a bit dowdier than others, but all seem to have the same set up.... More

Helm’s Inn at Beacon Hill Park. Victoria’s Best Kept Secret. The official Helm’s Inn website proudly proclaims itself as “Victoria’s Best Kept Secret”. Its competitive pricing, prime location (ie its proximity to the Victoria Bus Terminal & Top Victorian attractions) plus its homely atmosphere definitely qualifies it to be in the running for “Victoria’s Best Kept Secret”. We were in... More

We stayed at the Helms Inn while on a golf trip to Victoria. It has recently been refurbished and all 29 rooms are suites with full kitchens. We didn't need this type o0f facility but the room was very clean and very cozy. The winter rate of $72 was very appealing. It is very well located in downtown Victoria very... More

To be frank, i didn't have much expectation when i first saw this hotel, which appeared a motel to me consisting of 3 low layer plain building. However, after i checked in, everything is beyond my expectation and surprisingly good. Pro: excellent location: that's main reason we picked this as 2nd night in Victoria after Fairmont. It's just 2 min... More

I've stayed at the helms six times now, each time at either end of a West Coast Trail hike. Helm's is a somewhat older hotel, but the rooms are well looked after, have been kept up to date and are clean and nice. There's a kitchen in most of them, and the price is really good considering you are simply... More

My husband and I stayed at the Helm's Inn for 4 nights in March. Our room overlooked Beacon Hill Park and was very clean and put together. The front desk staff were attentive and helpful providing us with restaurant tips and the best things to see and do. The Inn has a nice little lounge for reading, visiting or doing... More
