I wasn't expecting much from staying at this property, but I was pleasantly surprised from my overall experience!
All the staff were friendly, professional and accommodating. When checking in I asked for a room on an upper floor, the gentleman offered a top floor corner room for me!
My room was immaculate, bright and looked newly renovated! It had a comfortable bed with clean linens, and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The only negative I can share is the noise level from the two bars at street level connected to the hotel. On a Saturday night after 2 am the loud conversations and yelling is a bit much. Bring earplugs with you if your room faces Douglas Street.
Aside from that, I would definitely stay at The Strathcona Hotel on future visits to Victoria!!
