We enjoyed our stay at Helms Inn. It is very conveniently located at the edge of Beacon Hill Park on Douglas Ave. We walked everywhere. The property has an older style to it. It is charming. We were pleasantly surprised to find our room was completely updated and very spacious. The staff was very friendly and the front desk is open 24 hours. I would stay here again.

Our favorite place to stay in Victoria. Feels like home with kitchenette, refrigerator and sitting area. Very spacious, clean and a comfy bed. Location is quiet and within walking distance of anything downtown. Also, close to public transit. A grocery store nearby. Love it.

Location was excellent kitty corner to Beacon Hill Park and a block from the rear of the Empress Hotel and two blocks from the Inner Harbour. the hotel was clean, our bed was very comfortable and the staff were great. The parking at $10 per day was more than reasonable but it is tight. The only thing on a negative slant would be that it is not sound proof but overall that really would not stop us from a second stay

This is about our tenth year to stay at the Helms. It's a well-situated hotel steps away from the BC provincial museum and on the edge of James Bay. Love the inner courtyard. We have always found the staff helpful and I don't think a year has gone by we haven't seen some form of maintenance going on to retain the property's value. The only downside is .... book early! It is that popular. You do not want to wait too long. Rod Link

I have been frequenting Victoria for so many years for work and have never even considered Helm's Inn nor even really heard of it? I was attending a conference and choices were limited and Helm's Inn came up. I booked it and can't say enough about it! The suites were modern, super clean, the room I had was very quit, parking was charged by VERY reasonable, walking distance to the heart of everything! I will be staying there a lot more from now on!
