This is my second time staying at the Arbutus Inn. Much like my first stay, I found the room to be immaculately clean. The bathroom was obviously recently renovated, with very modern and elegant finishes. The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to spend a few nights in central Victoria, I highly recommend the Arbutus Inn.

I love that the ground floor is laid out so well. So easy for us to get to our room. We liked the fact that the ground floor opens up into the main reception area were there are staff members to greet you. The staff is ready to assist in getting a taxi etc. etc. Knowledgeable about the area which is also nice. The only thing we found odd is that there were no telephone books anywhere to be found....kind of funny actually. Great stay!

Its a simple place. Here is your bed. Keep clean and the staff super kind. I did notice noise problems with lots of slamming doors from other units. I turned the fan on for white noise. But, i felt like even a youtube video on my phone would disrupt an adjacent unit. Its an old building but id happily come again to visit my child. Thank you!

Our check in went ok. The room was on the first floor down stairs as if you were on a ship. The room itself was dated and rough. There was a portable heater which came in handy as there was a vent on the wall blowing cold air all night. Every time someone turned on or off the water there was a clunking sound, all night. The attendant's dining recommendation a few blocks away was closed on that day but there was dining a crossed the street behind another building. Would had been nice to have updated info. When we checked out we were bluntly told we could not have a paper receipt as we booked through a third party. First time I had heard that. Just not a good experience. Would not be a repeat or referral for us.
