This hotel lets you be in the right place to enjoy Victoria.. Staff friendly,rooms were clean and well furnished. Would visit again. The harbour area is where it all happens and you are very close. Clipper docks just down the road.

We stayed in March, at low season, and it was an inexpensive option, and close to downtown, Parliament, the Museum, inner harbour, restaurants, theatres. But, it is getting a bit frayed and could use some improvement. There may well be better deals to be had downtown on the off season. Complaints: the room quality is going down hill (I have... More

My friend and I were having a weekend getaway in Victoria and chose the Embassy Inn because of its location and price (and free breakfast!) The location was better than we could have imagined, especially to the harbor/ferry area. It was literally across the street from the Parliament building and about a 3 minute walk to the ferry. The location... More

The Embassy is in a great location, just one block back from the harbour and next door to the BC Parliament Buildings. Easy to find and lots of parking if you have a car. Reception were welcoming and helpful with recommendations on restaurants and getting around. The room was well-equipped and spacious, not fancy (no fridge) but had everything we... More

Thanks to the writer for the review of our hotel. We do have a great location in Victoria as we are close to everywhere a guest would need to be. And yes, we are the closest hotel to the Parliament Buildings, also known as the BC Legislature. As mentioned previously, the free hot breakfast is well received by our guests. More

We were looking for a reasonably priced hotel in downtown Victoria and found the Embassy Inn to be very well priced. I found that if I clicked on get best deals in came up 79.00/night. If you are looking for a hotel in the downtown or close to downtown area of Victoria this price is exceptionally cheap. The good: breakfast... More

We spent two nights at the Embassy. Great location at a great price - Victoria can be expensive. The staff at the front desk and the restaurant were very pleasant and helpful.

A wonderful hotel in downtown Victoria - within walking distance of all downtown attractions. The room we had in the Tower Building was spacious and clean. The staff were all very cordial, welcoming and helpful. As an aside, the laundry facility for guests was SPOTLESS - an important factor for us on our 6 week driving holiday. The included breakfast...

We've been staying at the Embassy for a few years, now. While it is not what you'd call "fancy", it certainly isn't "plain", either -- and the location's just great. Consistently clean, staff friendly & helpful, & breakfast in their restaurant was yummy. We pay less but don't feel we receive less.
