We had an upgrade and the room was excellent. The reception was extremely friendly and helpful. It lid just within minutes of walk to the fisherman’s wharf and beacon hill garden.

The hotel is super well located, a few steps from the parliament. The attention very good. The facilities are old but functional.

James Bay in Victoria is a wonderful walking around experience, no rental car needed. And at the centre of our stays is the welcoming and home style experience in this still going strong 120 year old hotel. The attached and very reasonable priced pub, restaurant, and bookable party room with long-serving staff we know well are a key part of it

We were completely delighted at the comfort and level of service we had. We had a project to do which was to receive our yacht getting offloaded from a freighter shipped from Europe. There were many needs and we were unsure exactly when things were going to happen. The staff was accommodating and thoughtful.

Beautiful old hotel in the the nicest neighbourhood in the city. Rooms are a bit small compared to larger, newer hotels but this is made up for by charm. Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great being so close and walkable to downtown Victoria without actually being in the downtown! Nice little restaurant as well. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends.

The James Bay Inn is my go-to hotel in Victoria, BC! I absolutely love it! The location got me in the door, and the staff and the way they took care of me and the hotel have kept me coming back for a while now! The Inn and grounds are very clean and always well maintained, the rooms are well appointed, and the team is always right there to help when needed! The location is perfect, only 10 minutes walk from the Inner Harbor and 10 minutes to the Straits of Juan De Fuca! And at night, it is whisper quiet! Love this place!

Major kudos to Roy, Sherry in the pub, Conner in the cafe for making this stay so very enjoyable. Loved the ambience in the pub and King suite we stayed in was comfortable and clean. Bed was very comfortable. The staff here are really the stars. Thank you .

Such a beautiful historic Inn. Grateful for the warm welcome, and convenient location. Just a few minutes walking distance from the downtown core, and a few minutes the other way for the beautiful coastal boardwalk.
