“The hotel's location allows for walkable exploration of the city. Though rooms may be compact, they are clean and functional, suited for short stays. In my opinion, excellent service truly elevates the experience, despite the less desirable immediate surroundings. I think that a focus on attentive guest care and convenient access to Victoria's attractions ultimately defines its appeal.”
