This is a lovely hotel to stay at. There's a very good restaurant ( with a nice patio) on the main floor and there are other amenities such as a small library room, fitness centre. It's located just off the main tourist street, so guests can enjoy a quiet, leafy residential area, yet still be in a central location for all of the sights.

The hotel was spotless and location is excellent for walking around Victoria. My only criticism is the $200 deposit taken on arrival for whatever reason as there's no mini-bar and restaurant/bar is run separately and you have to pay on ordering.
