Free dinner 6-8pm and drink 5-10:30pm. Free breakfast in the morning. Room was clean as was bed. Bar fridge in room and a fan. Could not hear anything through the walls or the ceiling. Bathrooms were clean. Storage lockers with locks ($10 refundable deposit). Amazing staff. Would definitely not have issues staying here again.

This was a first hostel experience for me and I was actually impressed by it all. I did have my own room and fridge and the shared bathroom wasn’t an issue and I never really saw anyone. I slept very well considering i was roadside and never heard anyone in the corridor. The breakfast is decent for being free too. Overall good experience. Helpful staff and and good location

Ocean Island Inn Backpackers Suites is in a great downtown Victoria location, and almost everything is within walking distance. The building is older, but it is well maintained considering its age and the large number of guests it welcomes. The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We especially appreciated that our private room included a small fridge, which meant we didn’t have to use the shared refrigerators in the communal kitchen. The kitchen itself is well equipped, with plenty of dishes, mugs, cutlery, cookware, and two sinks with dish soap and sponges so guests can wash their own dishes. Towels are available for a refundable deposit, which is a nice option for travelers. There are also plenty of shared bathrooms, and we never had to wait for one during our stay. A few things to keep in mind: our room didn’t have enough electrical outlets to conveniently charge multiple devices overnight. We also noticed a strong bleach or cleaning product smell at times, which may bother guests who are sensitive to odors. Finally, the area immediately surrounding the hostel has a significant homeless population, so it didn’t feel like the safest block, especially after dark. That said, once we walked a couple of blocks toward the main downtown area—or when we were inside the hostel—we felt comfortable and safe. One of the best parts of staying in a hostel is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, and Ocean Island Inn was no exception.

Best value for the cost, the room was abit dirty with hairs and the bed was definitely uncomfortable (id recommend bringing some pillows) but other than that I had a good stay. No bed bugs which i was hesitant about, pest control mesures in place, a decent vegetarian breakfast and dinner included and free drinks at the bar. The room was abit warm, but they included a small fan which was definitely a nice touch. The inn itself is in a shady part of central downtown, but excessive security measures and multiple locking gates and doors helped me sleep easy at night. If youre looking for somewhere affordable to crash while exploring the town id recommend staying here, and id definitely stay here again.

I payed over 100 $/night for a private room with a private bathroom. The receptionist told me there are no towels nor soap in the room and that I had to pay for the soap. I paid for it and found it and towels in the room. Then I had to wait in the line to ask for a refund. They refused to return the money or to give any other compensation even if it was their mistake, not mine. They were arrogant and rude. The receptionist said: "It wasn't me." I said no but it was your colleague and she said she's new. That was their response. The vegan food they serve was made from the cheapest ingredients but it wasn't bad. The free drink was a small glass of a low quality beer. You have to wash your dishes after eating! The location is on the most unpleasant streets of Victoria. All the homeless and addicts live there as well just outside the hostel. There is a window in the room that can be opened from outside.There is an iron gate on the 2nd floor. The hostel has a lot of bed places and all the guests go through that gate. I had a pleasure to listen to it constantly since my room was on the 2nd floor.

First time staying in a hostel and I feel like this was a great choice. We got our own room. They seem to realize prioritize making people feel safe and comfortable. Hoping every hostel I stay at is like this. They provided breakfast and also dinner which I thought was super cool. We only stayed for 1 night. They did a song bingo in the bar that was a lot of fun. The room was incredibly hot but it did come with a fan.

I was glad that I found this cozy affordable place right in downtown. I only stayed for 1 night so I didn’t expect much and they have all the basic amenities that I need. However, as I was having breakfast at the bar, a staff member asked for my last name and then saying “Because a long-term guest here is not allowed to have breakfast. But you’re all good” (?) Such a weird thing to say and that made me feel slightly discriminated. Other than that, this place is good overall.

I really appreciated that they upgraded my room from a female-only dorm bunk bed to a micro room. However, the bedding condition was disappointing, as I found some stains on the bed from previous guests.

This property is a hostel. It is NOT fancy, but it IS clean and reception tries to be helpful. There is a tv, but it requires a subscription. There are different kinds of rooms over four floors with no elevator. There is an older radiator heating system. The location was a selling point for my particular needs. I did not try the meals. The real negative for me was that I had to leave early and there was no refund, and no warning that this could be the case.

This stay went far far better than my last. The welcome drink and free simple dinner plus the breakfast with a Mediterranean twist were all such a nice treat, thank you. Actually, I thought the breakfast options were great! (I would have liked some crackers to go with the Mediterranean fare.) I ended up switching from the dorm room to a private room (bed and fridge only, no bathroom) last minute, so I can't comment on the dorm experience. The private room is small, not much bigger than a large storage room, but I already knew that having stayed here before. Walls and ceiling a bit thin, but I was so tired I slept through. Bathrooms appeared relatively clean, but by evening some were quite low on paper. When I woke up at 6:20am, I noticed they had been replenished. Thank you. My only negative this trip is despite informing front desk in advance (at time of booking and the day before) that I would be arriving later in the eve, I was getting messages while still on the ferry telling me check-in is only until 9pm (even though front desk is 24hrs). This was not a good feeling. Staff rectified their error in a very satisfactory way. So heads Speaking of staff, each one I dealt with were very kind and helpful. All in all a great stay, and while I had reservations about returning to this place, I'd now feel comfortable to come back.
