This was a great location to the downtown of the city and the bus stops. The hotel was clean and basic. The staff was both helpful and friendly. Great rates on the room and it had a kitchen. We would stay there again. more

I stayed here for three nights in a studio suite. This included a full kitchen and all sorts of equipment/utensils. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable (the bed was really comfy) - but the decor very dated. (I am not sure why some reviewers think this is an 'English country style' - it is a jumble of poor... more

Location is very convenient - only a couple of easy walking blocks from the inner harbour. Older hotel, but very comfortable. Service (from front desk to the housekeeping) was professional and friendly. Breakfast is not available on site - hotel gives you a discount coupon that you can use at a nearby hotel for a selected menu. But not a... more

We stayed two nights at Helm's Inn over Thanksgiving 2008 weekend. It's a fantastic location a just a couple of blocks from the main Seattle-Victoria ferry terminal; it's within sight of the BC Historical Museum (itself kind of a yawn, by the way); and no more than 10 minutes walk to the center of downtown Victoria. Helm's Inn doesn't have... more

We stayed after reading many reviews of the inner harbor area hotels in VIctoria within walking distance of the conference center. This place kept showing up as a reasonably priced, good value hotel. It was that and more. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The late afternoon tea and biscuits are a nice touch as is the free... more

The best part about the Helm's Inn is its location. It is within walking distance of so many attractions, right next to the Royal B.C. Museum, yet it was very quiet at night. The room, although not the most beautiful hotel room, was clean and affordable. Also, they only charged parking the full day I was there, not for the... more

We booked late and only had a double, 2 story no elevator. nice room, nothing special, good price and good location, I would stay here again. There are some nicer hotels with great views of the harbor, I was not able to get into any of these do to the big weekend, BC 150 year celebration. If we went back... more

Very nice cozy hotel. The room was very big and clean. Great location, across the street from Beacon Hill Park and at walking distance from the downtown attractions. The young staff at the front desk was friendly but not very efficient. more
