Hotels Near Frank Whites Dive Store in Victoria

This hotel is the most detailed hotel I have stayed in Canada! The location is on the pedestrian street, the decoration is exquisite, the bath is full of L’Occitane, and there are two pairs of slippers! Loved, coffee is also a very good brand. Next time I go to Victoria, I will never look at any other hotels. The five-star praise is definitely worthy of it.

The hotel in general was alright. Nothing too special or fancy. There was a good restaurant at the base called Bin 4. What makes this hotel not great is that from the time that we were there (3 nights), 4 car windows were smashed and broken into including our own car. There was nothing in the vehicle. It seemed just to happen for the purpose of breaking something. The worst part is the day if we had to do a 7 hour drive home taking the ferry and the Coquihalla. The hotel says there is 24/7 security and people at the hotel which just doesn’t make sense for so many vehicles being broken into. Of course the hotel isn’t ‘responsible’. May not be the place you want to stay and certainly don’t leave anything in your car.

I'm a middle school teacher in USA. I recently brought a group of 14 sixth and seventh graders on a class trip to Victoria, BC. We stayed at the Robin Hood Inn and Suites and I'm so glad we did! Here are a few of the reasons I would recommend this hotel: 1) The beds and bedding were VERY comfortable. 2) This is one of the few establishments where everything is EXCEPTIONALLY clean. 3) The staff, including the owner, was highly attentive and accommodating. (Ex: we took cabs to one of our destinations; the front dest staff called the cabs for us and then, when one of our student left his wallet in the cab, they reached out to the cab company several times to retrieve the wallet). They even gave small souvenirs to all the members of our group on the last morning of our stay. 4) The sign outside the hotel says it's the best value in Canada and that seems about right... we chose the hotel because the rooms were less than chain hotels down the road. But then Robin Hood gave us so many extras. They met us at the Clipper and took our bags back to the hotel. They offered us umbrellas for the group when it was raining. They have complementary e-bike and kayak rentals. The continental breakfast met the wide needs of our large group. The list goes on. 5) The hotel ”Great Room” is awesome. Between the pool table and the foosball table and the board games and puzzles, our students made a lot of memories. There's even a good sized ”library” in the great room that some of our prolific readers enjoyed checking out. Way more amenities in this room than you'd expect in an Airbnb or VRBO. 6) The hotel is right next to the galloping goose trail, the 11 bus line (just a few stops to downtown and we never waited more than a couple minutes for the bus), and the water taxis (aka ”pickle boats”). If you want a comfortable stay for a fair price with lots of extras, this is your spot!

We stayed here for three nights and had a varied experience. Check-in was swift and we were soon on our way to our room, we emptied our suitcases and went to pour a drink, this was when we discovered a half eaten burger in the refrigerator and a glass that looked like it had been dropped in a muddy puddle! In fairness to the hotel the staff were equally horrified and very apologetic. We were offered a room change and next day received a card and a bottle of champagne from the hotel as a further apology. We used the gym in the hotel, which is slightly odd in that it has a carpeted floor and no mats available for doing sit-ups etc. One of the lifts was out of action for a refurb (although there was no evidence of any work going on during our stay) one of the other lifts was frequently out of order, leaving just one in action and lengthy delays waiting to go up or down. We didn’t use the hotel car park, you can use one of the nearby underground parking lots or there are spaces on the road adjacent to to the hotel for half the cost of the hotel parking. It’s a great hotel in a good location, just the poor attention to detail and noisy guests let it down.

We chose this hotel because of the price, location and free parking. Although the previous reviews were in part not good. At our arrival we were pleasantly surprised - the entrance area is very invited. The reception was very friendly, we received some tips that have proved very valuable. The room was modern, just a little small. There was a balcony with view of the empty pool. Specifically positive to mention is the bathroom. All very modern, heated mirrors and a flat shower. By the way, with the car, it is just a few minutes to the center.

Definitely my favorite place to stay in Victoria! All tje special touches they do is really appreciated! Fresh baked cookies and a hand written note on the bed! Breakfast is 5 Star!!

We chose this hotel at the last minute, We needed something close to the Jubilee Hospital, and needed a good price. I love the location of the Huntingdon Manor. We ended up with a Euro Loft suite, which is a room with a kitchen, sofa bed, and then 3 beds upstairs. The room had everything we needed, and would work great for a girls weekend as it sleeps 5. We had a lovely harbour view. Our rate also included breakfast, and parking which is a huge bonus! The room is a bit dated, could us some new carpet for sure. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

We stayed 3 nights at Grand Pacific Hotel. Our room (5th floor) was amazing as we had a little deck from which we could watch the ferries come & go as well as harbor traffic. Through the trees we could also see cruise ships too! Due to staff shortage there was no daily housekeeping but they would bring up towels and coffee etc as required. We only ate 2 breakfasts at the hotel but both were very good! Especially the Avocado Toast !! The hotel location was perfect as it’s walking distance to many attractions and close to the harbor taxis too. Beautiful at night with the parliament lit up and the various fountains, horse drawn carriages and harbor lights. Definitely will be back.

The rooms are enormous - I’ve lived in flats smaller than this! Everything is super-clean and all amenities are here. Our room had a little balcony on which to enjoy a morning coffee or evening sundowner. All amenities in the kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer. Large bedroom and bathroom. Great location for a ramble along to Fisherman’s Wharf or a stroll into town. As others have said, check when the restaurant is open - unfortunately, it was closed on the days we were there, but there is a supermarket close by and plenty of eateries in town.

It is at the edge of the tourist area but still within walking distance to town centre. Price is good. It consists of 3 apartment buildings of 3 stories each, the top level can only be accessed by stairs. My unit is a small apartment, with full kitchen along the hallway. The dinning/sitting room has a desk and 3 chairs, sofa and TV. The bedroom has a king size bed. There is no USB outlet. The whole unit is newly renovated except the shower. The ventilation in the bathroom is not good. The windows has not been upgraded so cannot close tightly and hear some traffic noise. Room view is parking lot and senior home. Your car can stop at the front for registration, parking is $10/day at the back. Number of parking spots is limited.
