Strathcona Hotel

Very noisy street. Bar emptied at 2:30am and singing woke us up. Street cleaners fired up at 4:30am and woke us up. Bed was very hard.

Lovely hotel perfectly located

Clean room

Pariing

Close to many sites of Victoria

Clean modern room. Insulated from any street sounds. A few extra fees not advertised in advance. Exposed parking. Otherwise great.

Tiny tiny room. Tiny. Some staff not friendly and helpful. Some were.

Friendly staff

Good stay

Very clean room and friendly.

Perfect!

Convenient and close to downtown. Close proximity to the unhoused but nothing that the hotel can control. Room was small but sufficient. Parking is on an outside lot about 100 metres from the hotel.

Really clean, staff were great, location couldn't be better. Had a great stay and would definitely stay again.

Rooms were clean. Its an older hotel so it was dated. However, for the price i dont think its worth it compared to other newer hotels. No lotions, extra soaps, face wipes ect. Very minimalistic and basic. Theres a bar/club under the hotel so very busy and loud outfront on a saturday evening. We paid $15 for parking, but there were no parking spots and had to pay to park on the street. The staff did refund me for the parking, so that was nice. Just wish they had more available safe parking for hotel guests. Was quite loud outside the window in the alley way. All in all the room was clean enough for us to rest our heads. Unfortunately, for the price and what you get id much more likely to book somewhere else. The staff were wonderful.

A small hotel in a very convenient location. An old building but thorougly renovated. Strongest point is the quality of the staff. Anja is the queen of receptionists. When my wife had a tooth ache, she was able to suggest a dentist and then, the tooth taken care of, when my wife wanted a hair dresser she directed her to one who did an excellent job. However, in all fairness, when we needed some information about local buses and Anja was not on the desk, one of her colleagues gave us very good service. There are larger and more recently constructed hotels in the area, but I don't think we would have had the personal attention we had at the Strathcona. There is a large and very nice pub and restaurant on the ground floor. We had not planned so, but except for breakfast we ate and drank there. Good food and nice staff. Hotel close to the major downtown tourist attractions. We found the room just a bit small, but that may have been because we had just left a spacious room in a hotel in Vancouver. Couldn't figure out the heating unit, finally in frustration we just left it off. Possibly due to good insulation we felt perfectly comfortable. Room looked out onto an outside bar a couple of stories lower. It was closed for the season, but in warmer weather noise from the bar might be inconvenient. Never did figure out the coffee machine in the lobby and didn't like sign telling me to give the hotel a five star rating. This side of heaven nothing is perfect.

Anija was great when checking in super helpful and sweet! Will stay here again

was ok

The hotel was easy to find and parking was really close. Staff were amazing and our room was clean and comfortable. Our room was above a busy street and two bars so a bit noisy at bar closing time and in the morning but staying with two teenagers who wanted to be downtown, it was the perfect place to be.

Staff were excellent, particularly Anya, who gave us lots of tips on places to eat and how to get around. The hotel is centrally located and very walkable to restaurants, shopping, attractions, and Beacon Hill Park. Highly recommended.

It’s a great place to stay. The rooms are excellent the staff is great. Great for walking to everything.
