The most fun ever in a B and B! Joan is as much a treasure as her magnificent Edwardian home. The perfect location, in a beautiful neighbourhood close to downtown filled with gorgeous old stately homes. Quiet, clean, super comfy bed. I had a room fit for a princess. She made the weekend truly memorable. I can't wait to return... More

Great value in a wonderful location for walking, visiting tourist attractions and getting downtown. This heritage home is full of antiques and fresh flowers and wonderful architecture, including a lovely sitting room off the dining room with beautiful... More

Visiting Joan Brown's is like coming back home. A warm and elegant bed and breakfast that makes "old fashion" a virtue. Not only is the b&b in a wonderful old mansion in a quiet residential neighborhood but Joan Brown is a mixture of your favorite aunt and your best friend. Whenever we hear of someone visiting Victoria we insist they... More

We've stayed at Joan Browns B and B every summer for 20 years. We love the rest, food and how well we are taken care of in an elegant home near gardens and the city. The fresh marine air and think, quite timbers of this old house makes sleep a joy. Then there is breakfast to look forward to. The... More

I stay at Joan's B&B whenever I come to Victoria to visit family. It is hands down the most welcoming, enjoyable, tasteful and delicious place I've ever stayed. The lovely decor, grand bedrooms, and plethora of antiques make you feel like you're living in high style. And the breakfasts... don't get me started about the breakfasts. They have to be... More

My sisters and I decided to take our very first 'sister's vacation' in Victoria. We were greeted by Joan, as though we were family. She is as kind as she is gracious, and we loved her sense of humor. By the time we left, we all felt as though we had met our fairy Godmother, and we all wanted to... More

This B&B is in a lovely neighborhood and Joan offers very good breakfasts. What I found unnerving, and I left early because of it, was no lock on my door. I was traveling alone and was quite nervous to come home in the evening and find my room wide open! My private possessions were in the room and Joan was... More

We booked with Joan on the advice of a friend who stayed there previously. The house is gorgeous and historic. Joan has good taste and her decorating proves it. The beds are comfortable; the carpets thick and lush. Our son loved the comfort of the chaise lounge in our room and wanted to take it home. The house is bright... More

We found this B&B gem quite by accident and Wow! are we glad that we did. Joan, with her quirky sense of humour, made us feel very welcome as soon as we set foot in her wonderful home. The rooms are beautifully decorated. Her breakfasts are a feast not only for the eye but also the taste buds. Every detail... More
