The location is good, close to the Parliament Building. The room is small. You can hardly have space to walk. The bathroom is long and spacious though, kinda strange.

Good experience❤️‍🔥

We enjoyed our stay and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We had to change our plans and they were very accommodating. Would recommend.

Charming, eclectic vibe. Great location for walking to the shore, parks and Discovery Coffee. We saw sea otters at Dallas beach close by! Roy was a terrific help.

Staff were wonderful. Room was very large. Great value!

Everything thing was great. Would definitely stay there again

Wonderful and friendly staff! Close to everything!

What a great place in a great location, only about a 10 minute easy walk from the Harbour and downtown area. The hotel is in the “colonial” area of downtown so has a lot of character about it and the decor fits this. The staff are really helpful and friendly as well as being efficient and this made for a great 3 night stay. Although there is no lift, the staff are very helpful with luggage and our 2nd floor room was excellent and clean. The parking was very useful, and the attached restaurant and pub were ideal for breakfast, meals and drinks later with friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice place. Older, classic building. Kinda fun to see that most of the building isnt level

Great older property - dare I say homey? The staff were all so friendly and helpful. A true gem! Looking forward to our return shortly when we fly home. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The hotel is historic so the rooms and decor are appropriately old-fashioned, but we were comfortable. We recommend the king size rooms as they were considerably more spacious (we stayed in both a queen and a king during our stay.) But what really stood out was the above and beyond customer service. The manager & team really went out of their way to accommodate our own scheduling issue and make the transition as smooth as possible - and it was incredibly smooth. Thank you for the care and attention and for making a complicated weekend very easy! As a side note, we also enjoyed some delicious fish and chips at the hotel pub.

Friendly staff.

If you’re looking for a place with character, history, comfort, and wonderful hospitality, great location, I highly recommend James Bay Inn. I would happily stay here again. Staying at James Bay Inn felt like visiting a beloved grandparent’s home in the best possible way. The moment we walked in, there was a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that is hard to describe. The beautiful antique furniture, spotless rooms, unique decorations, and the character of the building made it feel like a small local museum rather than just a hotel. Every corner had been thoughtfully designed, and I loved finding cozy little spaces to sit and relax, especially the charming balcony. In a world that often feels rushed and modern, this place offered something special—a sense of history, peace, and timeless beauty. It felt like a place built with care over many years, and you could truly feel that character throughout the hotel. A special thank you to Roy, who checked us in. He was funny, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to. What is usually a routine check-in became one of the most memorable and cheerful parts of our stay because of his great sense of humor and warm personality.

My preferred accommodation in Victoria. It’s always friendly, clean and room well suited for my short stays. The location is perfect, only a few steps from the inner city and in a very quiet location with parking, too. The pub and restaurant are quite popular with in local neighbourhood and guests, and I find them to provide good food and service with an attractive, busy vibe.

Sofa bed very uncomfortable

建物や調度品は古いですが、滞在に困る問題はありませんでした。 レトロな雰囲気や、親切で優しいスタッフのお陰で快適に滞在を楽しめました。 立地もインナーハーバーから徒歩5分と便利です。

James Bay Inn is charming. The staff is the nicest and friendliest I’ve ever encountered. The only downside for us was that we were in Victoria during a rare heat wave, and the rooms are not air conditioned. However, there was a fan in the room, and they offered to get us a second one if needed. If I were ever in Victoria again, I would definitely stay here again.

Le service était super, l’hôtel était vraiment beau avec un cachet historique, l’emplacement près des lieux touristiques et commerces, tout se fait à pied. Le restaurant de l’hôtel offre des repas de qualité avec un très bon service. La tranquillité des lieux nous ont permis de très bien dormir.

Great time. Comfy beds, excellent location!
