The environment is first-class, in the heart of the old city port area, across the street from the city's landmark Parliament Building. However, the facilities are a bit old, especially the air conditioner, which is a bit noisy. Some waiters have good service attitudes.

Speaking of Victoria, this is the place to be! This is such a famous hotel. The rooms were spacious and we were able to stay comfortably even with our two children. The European atmosphere inside and outside the hotel really lifts your spirits. The service was also polite, and they were especially considerate, bringing extra water for our children. You can immerse yourself in the cute atmosphere of Victoria.

酒店位置優越,停車方便,酒店設施齊全,景觀優美,房間乾淨簡潔,但偏小了點,我們住的這間房間朝向不好,窗外望去沒有景觀,性價比感覺不值。

Although the building is old, the room is very clean and bright, and the decoration is very tasteful. All kinds of sanitary products are available, and it feels like home! The most praiseworthy thing is the big bed, which is not only clean and tidy, but also gives you a "weightless" feeling when sleeping on it! The hotel is located in the seaside harbor, surrounded by British shops and various restaurants and bars, giving people the illusion of going to Europe. In one word: Thumbs up!

The staff are very nice, and everything is clean. As a clean freak, I would definitely choose this hotel if I come to Victoria again.
