Top South Oak Bay Hotel Reviews

Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APA

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the property and the staff, everyone was very service oriented and kind. The hotel was well appointed and the rooms very nice and clean. Some minor improvements suggested include an easier infotainment system especially for streaming, a light in the shower, a footstool with the chairs in the room and more available food and room service options beyond the vending machines. Would absolutely stay here again."

Robin Hood Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 1 night. The shower was very unique. Our 1 bedroom suite was clean and had a kitchen. The suite felt a little old and run down with creaking floors. The door was difficult to close from the outside. It had to be slammed shut. The breakfast choices were basic but better than nothing. It consisted of hard-boiled eggs, toast/bagel, yogurt, cereal, a pancake machine, muffins, apple/orange, coffee/tea/juice."
