Very nice staff, overall not bad for a couple of nights. Upper beds not very comfortable, towels and locker available with deposit. The hostel is located in downtown, which has its pros and cons.

Ocean Island Inn in Victoria offers a budget-friendly stay. The rooms are basic but clean, providing the essentials for a good night's sleep. It's a convenient location for exploring the city. While amenities are limited, the friendly atmosphere and communal spaces are a plus. Great for travelers looking for an affordable option without frills!

The service staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. But there are a lot of homeless people nearby, which is disturbing. The room has no ventilation, seems to have not been cleaned, and the facilities are also very poor. Since I booked the hotel at the last minute and the price was not high, I accepted it. The hotel has two locks, but the odd tenant is a little unsettling. Thank you very much to the receptionist for changing me to a more suitable room! If I were given a choice again, I would not choose this hotel. I still appreciate every service member's help. Breakfast is a simple buffet with hard-boiled eggs, toast and juice. Dinner was simple rice with sauce on top. There are many supermarkets nearby. You can choose to go shopping on your own, but be sure to avoid the hordes of homeless people.

Most of the staffs are friendly.. could have been 5 if one of the staff don’t give me an attitude.. I think the stay is worth the price especially with the free breakfast.

Excellent hostel right in the midst of Victoria. A short walk to the harbor and Chinatown. Super duper value. Free sumptuous breakfast (cheese, olives, tuna, hard boiled eggs, jam, butter, bread, waffles and blue berries) and free dinner!
