The Hotel Rialto is an absolute gem in the heart of downtown Victoria. The entire building, including our room, has character and style, was spotlessly clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The concrete building was very quiet, and the bar/restaurant The Palms downstairs is well worth the visit, although you can easily walk to all the downtown restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as shopping and sightseeing. I would highly recommend the Rialto and would gladly stay there again.
