Amethyst Inn at Regents Park

Excellent and beautiful inn with delightful features and comfortable beds.

Enjoyed the heritage property and the breakfast was amazing

I liked the “classic old style” of the property and rooms.

Overall, the stay was good. Room was clean and well kept. The building feels a little weathered, lots of marks around the rooms, cracks, etc, and the room showed this. Staff was helpful but always seemed in a rush. Food was okay, parfait to start and french toast. Just not quite enough for a three course meal. Was a good stay, not great compared to other BNBs in the area.

What a great place to stay! I love the old building and the decor! Place was quiet, comfortable and the breakfast was top notch!

Beautiful place! We really enjoyed our stay at this incredible inn. The bathtub was a highlight and the service was top notch. The inn keeper prepared such a delicious breakfast and was there for anything we needed. Highly recommend staying here!

A beautiful property at a very reasonable rate. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be back

Lovely property & friendly staff! Thank you!

We did enjoy our stay. Was neat to see the history of the building and property. Breakfast was a nice bonus!

The property is what's unique. Staying in a 19th century Victorian mansion should be on everyone's bucket list. We chose the perfect time for our stay with no snow. Would have liked to have seen more of the home, even in pictures, but we were only there for one night. Even so, just imagining how bustling that home would have been in the late 1800's is awe inspiring. The parties that would have been thrown there. So kewl.

Staff was friendly and professional. Breakfast was excellent. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable. Would stay again.

The property inside and out needs a good clean/improvements. The outdoor stairs are a safety concern. They are very steep and IMO should have non-slip treads on them. We stayed in 2 different rooms over 3 nights and went from disappointed to very disappointed with our stay. We are aware that it’s an old house, however, the rooms we were in showed signs of neglect. Heavily stained/soiled carpets, cracked sink/poor drainage, poor lighting, no instructions regarding how to work the TVs. Our 2nd room didn’t have a mini fridge and we weren’t told up front that the tv box wasn’t working so no tv! Poor communication.

Amethyst Inn is an absolutely stunning Victorian era hotel. The room was wonderful and the bed was very confortable. We loved our stay here. Amazing experience. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff were lovely. The best stay in Canada so far.

Very good place, clean and delicious food served. Owner is very humble and the lady who answered phone call is very exceptional. Thank toy and will visit this place again and again.

Amazing and grand house from 1860. The house alone is worth seeing, and its many antiques and stained glass windows. Breakfast was lavish and delicious despite there being no menu. She just brought things unbidden but they were all good. Fresh fruit parfait, a warm cheesy roll, French toast with more fresh fruit and whipping cream and a sausage. Good coffee filled repeatedly too.

This was our second stay at the Amethyst, a Victorian mansion with all the design, fittings, original antiques and original furniture in excellent condition, just a couple of blocks from Craigdarroch castle. They are great people who are always anxious to please their guests. All this plus free parking and a 3-course lavish breakfast a few blocks from downtown and who could ask for more?

Great stay, great bed, great breakfast.

Beautiful heritage Victorian house with large, clean, comfortable rooms. We stayed in the Duchess room , which had a four-poster King Size canopy bed. The furniture was antique and in very good condition. It was a charming room, complete with two wing chairs and a jetted tub in the bathroom. Breakfasts each day were wonderful. Every breakfast began with a fruit parfait containing grapes, blueberries and raspberries - topped with some vanilla yogurt and a sprinkling of granola. This was served in a cut crystal stemmed dish. There was a warm bread offering next. Breakfast mains changed each day and were delicious. Food was served on fine, antique china in a beautiful setting. The cutlery was silverware. White tablecloths and fancy folded napkins enhanced the breakfast dining experience. The staff were warm and welcoming. It was a delightful experience. The location was great for walking. We could walk to the inner harbour, Rockland Road, Craigdarroch Castle, Government House, Becon Hill Park, Cook Street village and restaurants - each of these destinations in under 40 minutes.

AVOID! This is where luxury goes to die. I checked in after hours. The staff member, who I later found out was the owner, rushed me through the process and did not help me with my bags. Upon entering my room, I found it extremely run down. The carpet was filthy, and there was a pungent smell in the bathroom. There were dead wasps in the corner of the room, cobwebs, thick dust on the baseboards, and dirty walls. The room was chilly and only got colder during the night. I attempted to turn up the heat but the room did not warm. At 2 am, I attempted to reach the staff member multiple times, but there was no answer. After an hour, I attempted again, and the owner answered. The individual was not able to understand what I was saying. After attempting to explain the heat situation for several minutes with no resolution, I ended the call. After a sleepless night due to the cold, I attempted to speak with the owner in person about the lack of heat. She immediately barged into my room and pointed to two thermostats. I told her that I had increased the temperature on one, to which she shook her head and pointed to the other, which was off entirely. She was not apologetic and said nothing as she left my room. Given the dirty state of the room, I did not stay for breakfast. Despite being booked for two nights, I left after the first and moved to a hotel, despite being told there would be no refund if I did not stay the second night. I would give a zero-star rating if it were an option.

Very nice house and excellent breakfast
