The Royal Scot is an older but well-maintained building in a quiet location 1/2 block from the Parliament Buildings, 1 block from the Inner Harbour and within easy walking distance of Victoria's other main attractions.

Our room was large and well-appointed with a 32" flat screen TV, walk-in closet, 2 sitting chairs, table and desk, bath robes, microwave and fridge. There is a pool and restaurant which we did not use. The Queen size bed was comfortable.

Negatives: our room was directly above the Lobby entrance and some of the arriving guests were noisy, next time will aslk for a different location. There is a $15.00 charge for parking which is annoying but typical for the area. The toilet is very close to the wall and bathroom counter. I am 6" and 220 lbs, and found the width very cramped. A larger person could have trouble sitting there.

we stayed at the royal scot shortly before christmas. so wonderful to arrive from winterland, and find flowers in bloom in the gardens around our hotel. this hotel is small and old-fashioned...not a boutique hotel. but lovely in every way...very clean, comfortable, with many amenities. beautiful indoor pool, game room. we enjoyed the restaurant....affordable and delicious breakfasts two mornings in a row, with attentive friendly staff. we chose this hotel for all of the above qualities, which we had read about online, and we were completely satisfied they also have a free shuttle to anywhere you want to go downtown, for those who need help. if you are looking for friendly, helpful staff, affordable, comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation, within easy walking distance of downtown, this is a wonderful choice.

We stayed two nights at the Royal Scot and found it quiet and comfortable. The suite had a kitchen with table and chairs. The living room was roomy. The billiards and shuffle board were fun.
It has everything for a short or long stay and the staff was friendly. I would have breakfast down the street. All in all a good value.

We stayed at this hotel with our young family. The hotel is a good value with their full kitchens, and indoor pool and hot tub amenities. Great location downtown so we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The staff were also very friendly and helpful and the check-in lady was wise to put us in a ground floor suite so other guests didn't have to listen to our children running around above them. It would have been nice if the gift shop had longer hours but this is a small quibble. Thanks to the Royal Scot for an excellent stay - we will be back!
