The Helms Inn near the Royal BC Museum was the perfect place to stay for a short weekend in Victoria. The Inn was walking distance to the BC Legislature; Fairmont Empress; Victoria Harbour where water taxis were readily available to transport us to the Fisherman's Wharf to see floating homes and eat delicious fish and chips; the popular Red Fish Blue fish casual eatery for fabulous albacore tuna or wild sockeye salmon tacones/tostadas and dairy-free fish chowder in the Victoria Harbour off of Wharf and Broughton streets, and fantastic restaurants such as Il Terrazzo and Le Petit Saigon. The kitchenette with a full-sized fridge was super handy for storing leftovers and refreezing ice packs to cart Crust bakery back home. We had a lovely stay at Helms Inn.

The Inn is centrally located with easy access to the museum and main harbour. It would be nice if it was easy to pair devices or access streaming devices to the TV, there was only a cable remote available. Our particular suite had a separate bedroom and a kitchenette which was nice. But, the bathroom and area around the bed was very tight making it difficult to move around. Parking wasn't included in the room rate, but if was a game to try to get a stall to park in.

Room was very clean and bigger than expected. Having 2 beds and a pull out couch was wonderful so the kids could each have a separate place to sleep. There is a full kitchen if needed, parking was extremely close to our room. The location is fantastic, walking distance to shops and eateries, quaint residential area, felt very safe walking around and coming back from dinner at night. This is a hidden little gem.

Great location. The workers at the front desk were very personable and helpful. Our family appreciated the kitchenette as well. Parking was tight, but it is a city so that’s expected.

The room was large and well equipped with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen (with kitchen tools, etc.) and comfortable beds and bathroom. The location is the main selling point and is just a short walk from the museum. We would stay at this hotel again in future.
