Didnt yhink about that when booking, however the location was fantastic for being in the center of everything you want to see. Very walkable and all around fantastic hotel. Old, but well kept!

Staff were very helpful. Great location. I will say the toilets are jet powered and may loosen a filling. It's quite jarring. But I got used to it.

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.
