Clean, well taken care of. Magical location and history. Lovely staff. Great communication with checking in and out.

We went for a short weekend trip in victoria and although the Craigmyle met our needs in terms of a place to stay that was minutes away from downtown and affordable, we did find that parking was not always abundant. The parking was limited on the street and it really depended one what time of the day it was. The bathroom sink was alot smaller than your average sink and the walls were paper thin. We also found that the water dispenser downstairs in the kitchen was not working properly. Overall it was a decent place to stay for a short trip with the check in and check out process made very simple. It was definitely a home with character. I also like that they provided slippers to all guests.

Laundry room with irons etc was convenient. The staff were accommodating and pleasant. There was access to extra coffee tea from the guest kitchen to replenish our kitchen in the garden suite. There were no teaspoons (just 2 large spoons) & not much sugar or coffee in the suite so had to go on a scavenger hunt to the guest kitchen upstairs. If we were missing something we could usually find it in the guest kitchen. The large common area was right above our bedroom area &, being an old building, noise, in the form of excessive thumping & banging was loud in our room feom upstairs - not a major problem until people were up there after 10 pm when we were trying to sleep &/or simply relax. The bedroom configuration didnt allow for any (even tiny) nightstand but instead there were awkward gaps between the bed and the built in closets beside it where items could fall down but we couldn't set anything down in that area. We were told there'd be plenty of Residential parking on that side of the road but for 2 of the 4 nights we couldnt find any & had to park & walk from other streets (even then, spots were hard to find). Im not sure that parking rules are enforced & not sure how they could be.

Our stay was short, but the place was lovely and i

Great location and charming guesthouse.

Very clean and charming

Super nice and clean.

Perfect for anyone who wants to experience living in an authentic Victoria heritage home—but without the black mould! We lived in Victoria for over 25 years in homes in the same area and from the same time period, and the care, attention and love the owners have paid to the Craigmyle is incredible! The guesthouse is super well-maintained, and quintessentially Victorian (literally on historic Craigdarroch Castle’s doorstep), but updated in all the right ways (new windows and bathroom fixtures! Did I mention no black mould?) Located in Rockland, a beautiful, walkable, suburban neighbourhood, street parking is free (provided pass lets you use Residential spots), plus public transit is steps away, making it simple to get anywhere in the city no matter how you are getting around. Breakfast downstairs in the common area (only $10 extra—fill out order form on arrival) smelled terrific, but I was not sure there would be vegan options and I needed room for my Discovery Coffee Almond Milk mocha and giant Green Cuisine lunch. Will be back for sure!

A lovely place with character and friendly staff. Close to sights and shops.

Everything about this place is excellent, I stayed 2 nights at the Master Suite with another friend. We both fall in love with the suite and everything else at this property. We plan to come back , our 2 nights is too short

beautiful place to stay. be sure that. you can walk up stairs

Nicely located near Government House, a 15 min walk from downtown Victoria. We liked the place, and enjoyed hanging out in their sitting room. We had a great stay.

The room was so clean and it was amazing. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and well priced. Would recommend!

Lovely place to stay in Victoria, right in front of the castle

Lovely all around except for smoke alarm battery chirping at 3:00 a.m.

It was such a lovely place to stay. Homy, clean, and great location! We were very happy with our stay.

The staff was so friendly and accommodating for us when we were looking to drop off our luggage early. Great location and beautiful rooms. Looking forward to coming back soon! Thank you for making this stay great for us!

Beautiful room and I loved having my own bathroom. The common areas were also very nice and well-decorated. I loved the complimentary coffee every morning and it was some of the best coffee ever. The room was a bit too warm, but they had a nice noise machine/fan which helped. It was a very quiet place which I appreciated. Loved it!

Room was very clean and staff was helpful. We would stay again.
