Nice …. Basic but it is all we need. Need Ac in rooms but as an old building I doubt that could easily be installed. Pre reflecting it. Very affordable. Staid many times. No elevator. If you need help with your luggage you need to ask. Try boooking lower level. Very clean and comfortable. That is what matters for us

I love staying at the James Bay Inn. The exterior of this historic building is what originally caught my eye. Step inside to early 1900’s furniture throughout the building. The staff is wonderful - helpful and friendly, and that’s including the restaurant and pub folks. There are two balconies where you can sit enjoying a morning cup of tea or coffee, or evening beverage. A variety of room choices too. We like the location as it’s in a quiet neighborhood and walkable to the water (a few blocks down the street) and a 10-15 minute walk to the Inner Harbour area. Highly recommend James Bay Inn.

Excellent location, fully furnished, extremely comfortable. Stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage for 9 nights and it was amazing. Will absolutely stay again as my go-to place in Victoria.

Highly recommend the James Bay Inn. Great location and easy walking distance to the downtown harbour and shopping and to Beacon Hill Park. Staff is super friendly! Just need to be able to climb stairs as the 1911 Inn has not elevator.

The building was old but has a lots of characters. The area is very quiet. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Even though the inn doesn't have AC or elevator, we managed all right without it. The classic queen room was very clean with all amenties provided. The mini fridge was a plus. Easy walking distance to lots of attractions, transits and restaurants. Will stay again in the future.

Not the biggest fan... This is clearly an older building but it could use a significant refresh as it appears '80's or '90's vintage. The room had clearly been smoked in and had that lingering smoke smell... not sure if it was in the carpet or the mattress but I woke with a headache and my asthma flaring. The windows were open to mask the smoke smell but there were no screens on the windows. The shower used a plastic bathtub as a base and the bottom moved under my feet as I moved around. The floors all moved... not just creaked but moved and not one surface was level. This is not a bad hotel; just old and in need of a refresh... and when I say old... I mean old not quaint. The summer rates are not justified for the quality of product... this is at best a 3 star but probably closer to a 2 star product... Beware.

There are so many positives about the James Bay Inn. First the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The whole place had historical charm. My favorite part of the inn was its location and neighborhood. It is in a quaint and quiet flowery alcove of Victoria, with the beautiful park just a couple of blocks away in one direction, the rocky coast a little bit of a walk away, the bustling Fisherman's Wharf area with all of its touristy fun things to do and pretty vistas, and in a couple of blocks in another direction you have a huge awesome grocery store, pharmacy and local restaurants, for a more regular residential vibe. Everything is just a 10 minute walk at the most. Its super pretty all around the Inn, and the Inn is a very nice place to stay. The restaurant down stairs also had an amazing breakfast. Incredible pancakes, bacon and sausage and yummy home fries. I would definitely stay here again the next time I go to Victoria!

JBI staff and accommodations were warm and welcoming. Even had help carrying our luggage to/from 3rd room bc there is no elevator in the 150+ year old home. Having a dinner/restaurant and pub on site was not only convenient but added to its charm. I would definitely stay there again… preferably longer next time.

Always enjoy staying at James Bay Inn. Staff are super friendly. I was in a small room last visit on top floor. No elevator or gym. Maybe some different options in the morning like muffins or banana bread. It’s nice that they provide coffee, but something else would be nice.

We stayed three nights recently. First time there. We stayed in the Heritage House, which is next door to the hotel. We were in the balcony room. It’s an apartment really. Lovely old home, beautifully restored, with four suites in total. Immaculate well appointed bathroom. Very comfortable bed with six pillows. Beautiful quiet residential neighborhood. Twenty minute walk to the oceanfront. Close to everything. The dining room and pub share the same menu. The food is awesome. The service was beyond compare. The front desk staff were courteous, friendly, very helpful.
