Facility was old but maintained. Fresh paint and very clean!!! The window was open with an old fashioned slide bolt to hold it. I left it open rain and shine, room temperature was very comfortable night and day. No screens but no bugs came in. Bathroom was super clean and available when I went to use it. There were also 4 more on the floor! Next door was a half way house/homeless support (?) But I was never bothered by the users of the facility. Location is central to Victoria Tourist areas and 1/2 block from busy street with public transit. Attentive desk and pleasant fellow travelers.

It’s not a hotel it’s a hostel so that’s what you get. Price includes two meals and a drink.
Lots of available shared clean bathrooms and a big stainless countertop three sink kitchen with plates etc. Great little pub with a capable friendly barman (when I was there).
Junkies and homeless in the area and it’s an old building so it’s not for everyone but it’s my new go to when I have to visit my old hometown.

the place was clean, quiet, and super convenient, right in the heart of downtown. it's what you would expect from a hostel: everyone was kind but minded their own businesses and did their part to keep the communal kitchen tidy. I especially enjoyed the free breakfast AND free dinner for guests every night, great for travellers on a budget. I walked everywhere I needed to go for the weekend and was always greeted with a smile when I returned

I loved the communal aspects of this inn. The kitchen and dining areas, as well as the shared meals, were very effective at bringing people together.

Convenient location, close to Chinatown.
Very helpful staff.
Loved the complimentary breakfast, simple dinner and a beverage each night.
An older building, so no lift, which means carrying your suitcase up several flights of stairs.

Great hostel conveniently located in downtown Victoria for anyone exploring the city. Staff were very welcoming, and rooms and bathrooms clean and comfortable. If you want somewhere to rest your head while on a Vancouver Island adventure, this is the place.

The rooms and the rest of the property were very clean and well organized. They provided a sealed container for any left over food, lockers and a lock (upon request) and a mini fridge for each room. The complimentary breakfast and dinner were good too and the complimentary drink was a great addition. There were also 24hr hot drinks available (coffee, tea, hot coco, etc). All my roommates were really respectful and the hotel staff was friendly. They also had a nice lobby, dining area/bar too where I sat back, ate food and relaxed. The communal kitchen was also well organized with a fridge, sinks and dishes to use for breakfast and dinner. Overall, a really great experience. I would definitely come here again.

Good value for money. I had a single room for 3 days. Excellent staff. Quiet and organized. I did not care for the food. Only vegetarian offerings.
I am a male senior on a tight budget. Everything worked out great and would stay again in the fall.

Convenient location. Comfortable beds.
Hoping they’ll be able to switch to card/code access in the future instead of keys.

Great hostel right in the middle of downtown vic. Location is a massive plus, there’s a couple of good parkades a block or 2 over, - (view st for taller vehicles). Great character building, basic, comfy enough, nice little bar. Everything you need, private rooms with the sinks are great too, prefer staying here to a hotel whenever I’m in town. Would recommend.

I love the kitchen and the dining hall too!

The room was satisfactory for its purpose. Clean and safe. Only issue is the lack of an attached washroom but I was aware of this. Limited parking nearby.

Loved the setup, the rooms were exactly as to be expected from a heritage building turned hostel, lots of bathrooms to use so you never need to fight for one. Every night there's activities to help meet new people. Staff are great :)
The meal service was fantastic, free breakfast, 24/7 free coffee and tea, a free beer, and a free home cooked dinner every night. I saw the lovely bartender marc (special shoutout to Marc) doing dinner prep and it all looked so good. I had a lentil curry that I doubt I could outdo myself.
Area around the hostel is meh, but very nice if you have experience traveling in rougher cities than Victoria.
