Independent West Shore hotels

"Excellent place to stay!"

"Great hotel. Lovely large bright room. Good location for the Inner Harbour and easy walks into Downtown or James Bay. Parking onsite which is perfect although you are charged a fee on top of the room rate. "

"Central location, direct access to public transportation, buses and cabs."

"Good Price, not chic and not a fancy area but clean rooms with fridge and microwave and the bus stop is only a 1 minute walk away. The bus takes you to downtown in like 5 minutes. Would recommend. "

"Close to everything. Check in was easy. The room was clean. Even the pool. Will definitely come back again! "

"I stayed one night at this place, and it was clean, nice, and quiet. For the price, it was a great value."

"The Royal Scot is located in an excellent location for easy access to the harbour and many tourist attractions but being one block back offers quiet and privacy. Check in was easy, the rooms are dated but are very clean and in good shape. The stay was nice and quiet except one night the pool was filled with a group of 30 parents and their young children. You might think about putting some foam or something on the ceiling or walls to absorb some noise. The echo in the pool area is very loud. Not the fault of anyone as they were just having fun. The attached restaurant was closed, which was not told to us which made a difference for our breakfasts and I think should have made the price of the suite cheaper as the rooms are not cheap and the restaurant was one of the considerations for booking. I was also not told that parking outside in their hotel parking spaces would be an extra $22 a day. We rented a small Nissan Sentra and the parking spaces were so tight it was hard to open the doors to get in and out of the vehicle when parked. If I had a complaint it would be the parking. I understand space is premium in this location. Overall I would recommend the Royal Scot as a good choice to stay in Victoria if you like to wander the harbour and have walking access to many restaurants, shops, tours and attractions. The pool and hot tub are clean and in good condition, always had lots of towels. There were other rooms in the basement for pool, shuffleboard, and reading. "

"Great hotel right on the water downtown Victoria. The room was amazing - the hotel upgraded us to an amazing harbour-view room which was more of a suite which spacious, very clean, very comfy, with great views. Staff were friendly and efficient, and let us leave the car in the lot for a few hours after checkout so we could explore more."
