The place was in an amazing location. A clean and comfortable hotel, Beds comfy. The only drawback was just one bathroom, But we certainly managed fine!!

10/10 Exceptional

Loved how spacious it was (we stayed in a one bed loft unit). The location was fantastic and easily walkable to what we wanted to do. I thought it might be noisy at night but with the windows closed it wasn't noisy at all. We would definitely stay here again

An excellent location for exploring Victoria. The suite was spacious and had everything we required for our family of four for a two night stay. We ate at the bar one night and the food was delicious. The service was also very good, particularly as we had to be out of the bar before a certain time as our sons are under 19 years old.

A great choice to stay in Victoria. A walkable location adjacent to China Town. Lots of restaurants and pubs. The restaurant at Swans was great, I had the burger and it excellent. If we are back in Victoria we will stay here again.

We had a great stay at Swans. The staff were courteous and very helpful. Our room was quite large and we had a Juliette balcony. The room was also very clean. We did have a noise issue and after talking to the front desk person and corresponding with management a resolution was found. We did like the location because it’s in an area with many restaurants and walking distance to other attractions. We also enjoyed the Swans restaurant.

The maids were excellent, and we were lucky enough to get an early check-in. Although when we initially called the hotel to inquire about an early check in, the woman who called us back was not very friendly. The place was quite spacious and we enjoyed having a kitchenette and balcony. The only drawback was at times the room smelled a bit funny. The location was central to everything we wanted to see in Victoria.

Very nice hotel located in a great spot. Able to walk to everything we wanted to see. Staff very helpful. A little bit of a strange in halls and room, however we were able to open the windows. The balcony was cool to stand outside to people watch. I don’t know when I’ll be back to Victoria, but I certainly would stay there again.
