The hotel is located in the city center, with many check-in points and beautiful night views at night. It is very convenient for travelers who do not rent a car. It is close to many attractions and there is an additional shuttle bus stop in the morning.

This is the best hotel We stayed here for our honeymoon and upgraded to the gold lounge by adding a very small amount and it was the best choice We received the best service during our stay and were touched by the special gift from the manager who celebrated our honeymoon. If you decide to stay in Victoria, you must visit this place.

The hotel is relatively old, but the interior has been renovated. The room is small, the mattress is very comfortable, drinking water is not provided in the room, there is a water dispenser at the elevator entrance, and there are no disposable toothbrushes, so you can ask the waiter for them. The location is excellent, opposite the inner harbour, the scenery is very good, parking needs to pay for parking separately, Victoria Hotel has few choices, Empress is still worth a try

It was a perfect hotel. Although there were 98 rooms on one floor, so it was like a maze to find the room, I really liked the room because it was spacious and clean.

The Centennial Hotel feels like a historical building. Every corner of the hotel reflects the hotel's dignity and elegance. It happened to be the National Day fireworks🎆, so there were many people and the hotel was very close to the port.
