This hotel is conveniently located for travelers and offers a quality breakfast. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, the air conditioner was located right next to the bed, making it too noisy to keep on. I had to turn it on and off constantly, which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep.

Excellent location, Great Staff,

Was quite happy with the location. Situated between the Legilative Assembly building and the Grand Pacific Hotel, it is literally walking distance to just about every site in downtown Victoria. Such as the Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, and Government Road. Plenty of free parking on site, and paid parking underground. Staff were friendly and accommodating. However... Breakfast buffet, was only ok. The choices of eggs, hashbrowns and sausages would have been better with the addition of warm biscuits and gravy. Similar to what other hotels offer. Also late night coffee dispensers (w/ cream and sweeteners) in the lobby or dining area would have been nice after a nice walk around town, and coming back to relax with a hot coffee to end the night. One disappointment for me was coming back to my suite and relaxing with a nice show to watch on tv. But the choices of channels are too few to enjoy, leaving me to go on my phone for the rest of the night.

Great stay!!

Embassy Inn is centrally located within walking distance of many main attractions. Markets are a few blocks away. We got a suite and I love, love, loved it! The room was clean, super spacious and comfortable and felt like an apartment with the kitchenette. I was always happy every time I walked through the door of our room, it had a very bright and cozy vibe. You can tell it’s old - but they’ve upgraded a few things like the bathroom and some furniture. Sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable (seems all Canadian sofa beds we had were comfortable - better than US standards). Breakfast was awesome, great variety and dining area was huge, I think it was a former restaurant. Parking spaces are a bit on the smaller side so you have to really squeeze in. Staff was friendly! They were even able to bring us a bath chair upon for my son to use upon request. I highly recommend Embassy Inn!!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was lovely and it was so nice to be right in the heart of downtown Victoria. I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled into the parking lot and we were right across from the Parliment Building. The bed was comfortable and the complimentary breakfast in the morning was delicious.
