Bamfield Vacation Packages

Overall great experience at a historic hotel.

We booked this hotel through Expedia and upon arrival , without being informed we ended up being placed in a pet friendly room . I have allergies and immediately became congested and my eyes were burning and puffy after being in the room a short time. We were told by the staff that they were not responsible because we booked with Expedia and that was the only room we could have. Needless to say it was a very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience . We won’t be back !!

Good breakfast, and clean rooms

Overall, we had a nice stay! The location is excellent—within walking distance of downtown Victoria and just a block from the waterfront. The area felt very safe, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Although the building entrance is in an alley, it's a well-maintained pedestrian walkway, and the building has good security with keypad access at both the front gate and elevator. The suite is essentially a one-bedroom Airbnb with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and a small balcony overlooking the alley. It was a comfortable size for two people, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like cold bottled water in the fridge and Netflix on the TV. Our host was friendly, responsive, and kindly allowed us to drop off our bags early at 12pm. A few things to know: because of the nearby restaurants, there was quite a bit of noise on Saturday night from people talking and laughing in the alley until around 1 a.m. The sound echoed, and the walls seemed fairly thin, making it difficult to sleep even with earplugs. Sunday night was much quieter. The blinds also let in a lot of light from the bright alley streetlights, so an eye mask was helpful. Blackout curtains would make a big difference. We also found the central temperature control wasn't very effective, and while the standalone bedroom AC cooled the room well, it was quite loud. If you don't mind bringing earplugs and an eye mask, this is a great place to stay thanks to its fantastic location and welcoming host.

Staff were so helpful. the location was great and the room was comfortable.
