The Craigmyle

We really liked the area, quiet, bucolic, pretty and historic. The first floor of the house is lovely and very inviting. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors. Everything we needed was available and in excellent condition. The rooms are decorated with elegant touches and pretty window treatments.( Our room was the queen standard and small. My husband and I made it work, but next time will rent the next size up. )Also, there are many steps inside and some outside the house. Still, we really enjoyed our stay and the area of Victoria was very inviting without the hustle and bustle of downtown. Also, and this is very important, parking is free on the residential street right in front of the hotel! So for those who like a slower pace, this may be your temporary destination!

I usually do not write long review. Due to my job, I've travelled a lot. This one was the second hotel from this kind, I experienced once in New Zealand in a remote area in South Island. They changed an old luxury house to Bed and Breakfast at there. This one was interesting, too. I had this chance to talk with the first owner. Very cool gentlemen. It is another type of hotel actually. You can't see any staff, but everything is in order, clean and the neighbourhood is awesome. It is very like the old school Bed and Breakfast location. I definitely recommend if you want to stay in Victoria, try this. You will see many unusual things (in good way) start from the infront door.

Street parking with resident pass was easy to find and safe. Room was clean, charming and well appointed. Guest laundry, guest kitchen, lovely sitting room. Close to everything. 20 minute walk to downtown with shops and restaurants along the way. Would recommend for a quiet getaway.
