This hotel is right next to the parliament building in dtwn Victoria and location is excellent. Just 10 mins walk to the center of everything. Hotel is lovely and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was wonderful. Lots of food options and enough tables for guests. Our hotel room was clean and spacious and had a small kitchen area. We were very pleased with our stay and would recommend it.

Reserved king size bed but only queen size available , breakfast quality was down compared to last visit. Eggs were dry, sausage balls were not appetizing & tasted like hot dogs, no hot chocolate & no espresso machine available. It used to be our go to hotel and we loved it. We might try it again in off-season but then again we might not.

Embassy Inn is centrally located so within walking distance of almost anything in Victoria. The breakfast was great and the rooms were good size. The ability to open the door with a screen onto the patio was great way to let in fresh air at night.
