A classically quirky hotel, ridiculously comfortable, and connected to a great pub and cafe. Central location (2 blocks from the Fairmont Empress) makes it ground zero for fun and tourist shenanigans.

Lovely stay at James Bay Inn. Perfect location. Staff wonderfully helpful. 100% recommend staying here.

The James Bay Inn is very old but seems to be well maintained. It oozes character and uniqueness to that I have never experienced before. The staff are awesome and very accommodating and the location is perfect for walking downtown or to the beaches. We loved our stay and if we ever get back out that way, we will definitely make this our place to stop

Beautiful inn in quiet and convenient location

Excellent staff! Clean and comfortable property. Would definitely stay again!

The James Bay Inn is the perfect place to enjoy the wonders of Victoria. The front desk staff members are always helpful and accommodating. Hedy, Roy, and the team make you feel welcome. The rooms are quiet and impeccably clean. If you are looking for a safe place to explore Victoria, you'll find it at the James Bay Inn. It's located three blocks from the Inner Harbour in a leafy green neighborhood of residential houses. It's the perfect place to relax and refresh while you are in Victoria. My wife and I have been in over 20 hotels in the city, and this is the place where we find the most contentment.

We enjoyed our stay, great spot and close to downtown!

This is a beautiful inn. Within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and beautiful things to see. Would stay here again if I’m ever in Victoria.

We loved staying at this hotel. The staff could not be nicer and the bed was so comfortable! We love the location and the food at the pub downstairs. We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent staff , great walkable location, charming old building and fair pricing all made for a great stay at the James Bay Inn. Would stay again.

Room was old but very clean. Bedroom felt a little crowded with furniture, TV difficult to get channels, bed frame solid and mattress comfortable but was so scratched up it could have easily come from the local thrift store, need more outlets - especially at bedside.

Bien situé pour visiter à pied, stationnement gratuit.

Good location , beware of steps with a lot of luggage and no aircon

Majority of staff friendly and helpful. Room quite small with colours/decor sympathetic to era.(Peach/orange/green) Clean bathroom with toiletries provided. Very comfortable bed. Public areas furnished to suit era. Coffee available in lobby for a few hours in the morning. Food in restaurant/ pub good value. Corrie in pub was a delight. Good base for a few days in Victoria. Easy walking to harbour area.

Everything was wonderful, as usual!!

Very cute place, would stay again.

Lovely property, super friendly staff.

A comfortable hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Useful to have the pub and restaurant attached. Good location.

Great property, vintage charm on this heritage property. Amazing staff...hate all the stairs but that's a me problem not the hotel's LOL. Would definitely stay here again, no question!

My recent stay at The James Bay Inn was made extra special due to the friendly, helpful, and courteous staff. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel right at home by the person at the front desk who, without being obsequious or pushy, set a positive and genuinely welcoming tone. This high level of hospitality, teamed with the lovely neighbourhood setting (great for a morning stroll) make this a great place to kick back and relax, just a short 10 minute stroll to the hustle and bustle of the inner harbour.
