I would definitely stay here again! It’s cute, comfortable, and in the perfect location—in a quiet neighborhood right next to the park, out of the bustle but only a few minutes’ walk from all the main attractions. It’s right between downtown and the beach, surrounded by old houses and beautiful gardens. If you’re looking for a reliable and convenient base while you explore Victoria, this is the spot!
