Even better was the upgrade to the Zen suite with its fabulous bathroom ! The stylish bedroom was also very comfortable . There was great attention to... More

We stayed at many B&Bs on a recent rip to Canada and Alaska, most of which were very good indeed, but Ambrosia was certainly the best of the best. Location is ideal with a very easy walk to centre of downtown area, the Empress, Museum, Parliament House and the waterfront. Our room, bathroom and spa were beautifully presented and very... More

We spent two nights at the Ambrosia to celebrate my birthday during August 2011 and it was a fabulous trip. The Inn was very clean and comfortable and I absolutely loved our room. Bob made excellent dinner suggestions (I would especially recommend the French restaurant a few blocks away if it is good weather to sit on their patio), booked... More

My husband and I visited Victoria recently and stayed at Ambrosia. The name suits the place really well. We stayed in the prospect room, which is intimate, comfortable, and very romantic. The Aveda products and the chocolates are a great bonus. And they replenish them every day!! The breakfast is truly delicious and ever since I left, I have been... More

My wife and I spent three nights here this August and absolutely loved it. The home is beautiful with a colorful and welcoming garden out front and tables and benches on the lawn and the porch. The location is great as it's a short 3 or 4 block walk to the heart of the Inner Harbour. Our room was great... More

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at the Ambrosia B&B. Dawn and Bob were very friendly and welcoming hosts. Their place is absolutely gorgeous; the rooms have spectacular bathrooms! Great location- within walking distance to biggest tourist areas. And breakfast was delicious with coffee awaiting us outside our rooms. We felt very spoiled. Would higly recommend. More

This bed and breakfast was fantastic! We stayed there for a week for our honeymoon and it was amazing. The owners are so kind and they make you feel like the only guests. They did this by setting up everything you could possibly want to do in Victoria and there is so much. They helped us find the best restaurants... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on our 10 year anniversary. We were upgraded to the ZEN room, and it was amazing. The owners have thought of everything - CDs with Jazz in the room, candles, fireplace, jetted tub that easily fits 2, spa shower, snacks, coffee & tea, etc. We loved every minute of our stay... More
