Top South Oak Bay Hotel Reviews

Oak Bay Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was top class."

Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I had a glorious stay at the Regent Waterfront. Beautiful views of the bay all day (and night) long. The two things I was surprised weren't available for such a lovely, high-end hotel: hotel slippers (there was a lovely robe) and they only offered powdered creamer for the coffee instead of real Half & Half. Silly things, but things I have come to expect from fine hotels. I highly recommend the Regent, but don't make the mistake of leaving your slippers at home, assuming it will provide them for you, and be prepared for powdered creamer (ick!)."
