Everything was clean, but hard to use. Whole building was undergoing electrical upgrades. That wasn’t so bad…the TV was tiny and tucked in a cabinet. The showers/bathtub was very tall. The angle of the tub made it so that you could not stand directly under the water. This could not be up to any code. Did not feel like the downtown boutique hotel it is advertised to be.

The Bedford is a super location in the beating heart of Victoria, right downtown on Government Street, in a pedestrian only area of town. From there we could walk to the busy harbour, the Empress Hotel, the Legislative Buildings for BC, visit tons of great shops, bars, Murchies Coffee, and the Bay Center across the street. There are pubs and restaurants all around, along with historic bits of Victoria, Beacon Hill Park, and even walk to where the cruise ships dock on Victoria's waterfront. We enjoyed the nearby Irish Times pub. Lots of nearby hotels, good music, theatres.

I was disappointed with the room I got for the price I paid. The first room #40, had large stains in the rug, broken lampshades and lifted tiles with grout missing in the bathroom. The noise from the pub below kept us awake past 1am. We got moved to #45 due to the noise and it was 2/3 the size of the first room. Minimal closet space, small bathroom and small window with no view…..for the same price….unbelievable. If the blind was put down to keep the room dark, then the air conditioner was ineffective. Neither room had any drawers to put your clothes. Another inconvenience is that the loading zone is around the corner from the hotel, and the hotel parking is two blocks away and $18 a day. The location was great, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I had never stayed at the Bedford Regency, I was pleasantly surprised! I love the age of the building, the room was clean and well put together. The location could not be better! The parking is a bit of a walk, so I wouldn't advice for anyone with mobility issues, but their secured parking was within 2 blocks and I felt everything was secure. I will be back!

Perfect tourist location, nice staff, great bed and larger room. Nice touch was a real Keurig coffee maker for those of us that can't leave the room in the morning without one or two cups. Government street in front of the hotel is blocked off so you can walk down the street and it's close to everything. As in many of the hotels in Victoria, parking is a big problem. You see people walking down the street with all their luggage trailing behind them. Our parking was about 3 blocks away and we got a deal with the hotel there. Only things they need to change is air conditioning and the use of safety bars in the bathroom. The air was a house type window unit that was down in the sitting area and the coolness didn't really reach the bed. While the bathroom was spacious, it was a bit weird. Toilet in it's own room and, if you're long legged or heavy, your knees are against the wall in front of you. That also makes it very hard to stand for someone who is tall and older, like me. A small help or safety rail would help a lot. And whom ever bought the shower needs to inform the poor renter how to use it! Very strange system that took a bit to figure out (One second freezing, then boiling hot). Also, the water comes straight down, like rain, cool right? But it's at the end of the tub with the curve so you can't stand under it without slipping. Again, no safety rails!…

It was good for one night. Front desk staff were good, but we never needed anything other than our room key. The lobby was lovely, I wish they’d spend a bit on the rooms, though. Nice location, but with no onsite parking. 18.00 per night to park in a parkade about 7 minute walk away. We asked for a quiet room, and we did get one. The room was very dated, but I’d seen pictures and thought I knew what we were getting. We called it unique, boutique and antique, with vintage thrown in. But, in reality, it was an awkward room. The bathroom is in parts, the water closest..is little. Advertised as a combined shower/ tub rain shower, but it is on the rounded edge of the tub, not centered and faced the wall so you basically showered against the wall. You had to lift your leg up on the edge, to be able to wash properly. No real door to it either, just a folding door. The TV was about 3 feet away from a sofa that was so well loved you couldn’t sit on it. It was inside a cabinet, and about the size of a desktop monitor. You pulled it out from the cabinet, and swivelled it towards the bed. That was interesting…but we weren’t there to watch TV, so it was ok. You could barely get by if it was open, though. On a brighter note. There was all the basic things you’d expect, iron, blow dryer, mini fridge, etc. They said our room overlooked the courtyard…which we couldn’t see. …
