Beautifully decorated, extremely clean and yet provides just the basics. I was looking for a place to stay for a few days without breaking the bank on a hotel as I was visiting family in the area. Not being a tourist all I was looking for was basic amenities in a clean environment. And this lovely place came through! Best of all, after a booking snafu, the proprietors were not only accommodating but went out of their way to be sure I wasn't penalized but a 3rd party booking platform!! If you are passing through and need a place to sleep on your way to somewhere else, or if you are just looking for a safe, clean place to stay with children or as a single person without all the frills, this is the best I have come across in years! Thank you Malahat Bungalows for such a great stay! You bet, I'll I be back again! Theresa

So convenient and check in was a breeze, they were able to give us a room at 11:30am when we arrived vs the normal check in time at 4pm. Customer service was excellent, the restaurant Fathom was nice as well. Clean facilities and daily parking was $34 per night. The hotel is located right next to the Parliament and Government st, everything was within walking distance. You wouldn't really need a car. We would love to stay here again in the future.

I stayed one night at the Magnolia. My first ever stay at any Magnolia. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It…read morewas actually better than a similar star hotel I stayed at recently. This Magnolia is conveniently located within a very short walking distance to Victoria Harbor. It's also within walking distance to many tourist attractions, shops and restaurants. My room was very cozy. Loved using the Nespresso coffee maker. They make a great cup of coffee. I slept so well too. Nothing like sleeping on a bed at this quality or star hotel. Overall, I felt it was worth the money. They also allowed me to drop my bags at the coat check room for an hour until I had to check in for my seaplane ride back to Vancouver Harbor. I plan on returning to Victoria and will strongly consider staying at this hotel again.

While The Fairmont Empress might be more well-known, our research told us that a hotel of its size and age would likely mean smaller, less updated rooms and maintenance challenges. The Magnolia proved to be the perfect choice. The Magnolia exceeded our expectations! During our two-night mid-week stay, every interaction was seamless -- from the efficient valet service and smooth check-in process to attentive housekeeping and hassle-free checkout. Rather than dining at The Courtney Room restaurant, we took advantage of Victoria's fantastic walkable dining scene. Our only minor comfort issue was the room temperature -- even with the AC running, we found ourselves opening the windows as wide as they would go for that lovely coastal breeze. Fair warning though: the harbor seagulls are incredibly chatty and apparently never sleep! LOL One small disappointment: our car was returned from the valet absolutely covered in bird droppings -- quite a lot! While I understand the hotel can't control wildlife, it was surprising to receive our vehicle in such a different condition than we'd left it. Would we return to the Magnolia Hotel & Spa? Absolutely! It's the perfect balance of intimate boutique charm while keeping you right in the heart of everything Victoria has to offer.

I always love when a hotel accommodate for early check-in and that you can leave your luggage with them after check-out if you're not leaving the area just yet. The rooms could be a little more spacious but it's manageable. I say no more than 3/4 people in a double bed. Two comfortably. The bathroom is a little tight as well, no more than one person at a time. There are two restaurants in the hotel. One is located on the 18th floor. And yes we did check it out. The food is good but you'll have to see the separate review for that :). We only stayed for one night as our time was limited. But I'd come back here again. It's walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and local business shopping. Overall the experience was great.

We also saw our friends' room which was also very nice. I'll start with the only real con worth mentioning, which is that this property is about a 10-20 minute walk from town (depending on your destination). It's a lovely flat walk along the water. The trade off is a really lovely water-front location. But, it's something to consider. We had a lovely stay at the Inn at Laurel point. The hotel is situated right on a little peninsula so the views from everywhere are wonderful. You are right on a lovely walking path right on the water and you can watch the ferries, water taxies, sea planes and other harbor traffic right from your room. We found the beds comfy and the property was silent. We kept fairly irregular hours but even when we kept our do not disturb sign up until the mid afternoon, someone still stopped by to tidy up and make the bed. Service everywhere was on point. I will review the restaurants separately but wanted to mention that they do excellent in-house pastries and the restaurant is great. Make a point to hit both the coffee shop and the restaurant during yours stay.

CONS: -$685 CAD for two nights seemed rather expensive, but I think June is prime tourist season. -Wish it was a bit closer to downtown Victoria. I might take a peek at other options next time, but highly likely I would stay here again and definitely recommend!

I loved the tall ceiling, it feels almost like a house. There is ample parking. It's really nice as there's a lot of parking spots in the outdoor lot so you don't need to check in to the hotel first before being able to access the parking lot like quite a few neighboring hotels. There is also an underground parking lot if a more secure spot is desired. The room itself was nice. The carpetting made it feel older than other modern hotels but it was clean. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were great as well. Shampoo/conditioner all-in-one was available but not body wash. Small bar soaps are also available. Despite feeling a bit old, the room was comfortable. Sound proofing is mediocre, other guests and birds outside can be heard quite easily. Bring ear plugs to sleep well. The hotel has complimentary breakfast served at 7am. I had to leave as it was opening but there seemed to be quite a selection of items at a quick glance.

This hotel doesn't stand out compared to all the other surrounding hotels in the area, but it was…read moreworth the stay regardless. For my trip to Victoria BC, my family of four booked a room here with two double beds. The booking comes with free breakfast and $10 daily parking to use for their parking lot and garage. Both check-in and check-out was fast and prompt, and the hotel itself is a drivable and even walkable distance to many notable places like Fisherman's Wharf, Pendray Tea House, the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and downtown Victoria itself. As an added bonus, the Tour de Victoria also takes place near the streets leading to this hotel if you catch it at the right time. Parking is limited even at the hotel since spaces are pretty tight especially down in the garage area where some spaces are dangerously close to poles. This area ended up being the most convenient for us to use given how rainy one of the days was. When there's food, I also gotta review it though it isn't as big of a factor here compared to everything else. Breakfast here is buffet style, where you can grab anything from eggs and bacon, cereal, pastries, self-made waffles and drinks. They served two kinds of breakfast potatoes and those ended up being my favorites because of how full you can get off of them and to pace my hunger for certain situations like late waking-up times. Their dining hall is located near the lobby, and it also houses a small recreational room with a small shelf full of board and card games, and some sofas to relax at along with guest-only restrooms to utilize. As for the hotel rooms, they're relatively spacious and clean, while the bathrooms are brightly lit but a little cramped without much sink counter space for a lot of our stuff. We asked the front desk for some extra blankets, and they came up after a little bit with them, about 15 minutes. There is an AC unit in our room, though it took a really long time - even at its coldest setting - to make our place appropriately chilly for a good night's sleep. Compared to the other hotels in the surrounding area, this doesn't stand out in any way, but the service and quality more than make up for it, and we had an easier time navigating around the city knowing we could come here afterwards and rest. I'll consider booking another room here on a return trip to Victoria BC!

Abigail's Hotel is just so nice! Their extraordinary hospitality began with a phone call we made a…read morefew months before our trip (which was answered by a real and knowledgeable person). I wanted to gut-check our plan to take the ferry from Seattle, use Uber to get to their hotel (and could we please leave our luggage up front since we'd arrive before check in? - to which the answer was, "of course you can!"), and then use Uber all around town. The very pleasant woman I spoke with (those months before arriving) assured me that our plan should work splendidly, and they looked forward to having us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by two of the nicest front desk people, who took our luggage for storage, then found our room had indeed been cleaned as early as possible and was in fact ready for us for early check in immediately! The property itself is reminiscent of a period of taste and attention to detail that seldom exists any more. Our room was beautiful: spacious, with two separate bathroom sinks and a separate jetted tub and walk-in shower, plus a small sitting area and plenty of space! So nicely appointed with everything in its place, and everything working. The entire lobby and library/lounge area was also beautifully appointed, and so homey and inviting. And breakfast - included with the room - was elaborate and scrumptious. Each day features both sweet and savory options; for example, pancakes, or eggs and bacon. My wife and I got one of each and shared them. It was all delectable. And each day's menu, specially prepared and printed for that day, includes a weather forecast for the day - even with temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit! We had such a wonderful stay that we hated to leave. We'd look forward to visiting Victoria again and would definitely choose Abigail's hotel again!!

The Library was a great quiet location, the room (Opal room) was comfortable, large, and provided greaat views out the many windows of the trees around the building. We particuly enjoyed breakfasts offered. Different each day, the quality was excellent as was fresh brewed coffee. Given the number of guests and limited dining room space for tables, the hotel requested us to pick a timeframe to dine so that the pace for table availabilty and meals were manageable. We chose 8:30A and we arrived each day with 10 minutes of that time. Worked great to get a table without feeling rushed or the food delayed in arriving! And each afternoon the chef put out a nice spread of meats/cheeses sometime, and homemade soup other times. All in all a great experience!
