“So worth it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

The location is simply wonderful and it's a walking distance from everything.
Loved the room, specially the bed, which was huge and amazing. Wish I could have taken that with me!
The service was very good as well. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating and helpful, giving directions, calling cabs or suggesting things to do or places to eat.
Will definitely go back.

Thank you very much to the writer of this review and the wonderful comments. Victoria has so many delicious places to eat, it can sometimes be tricky to narrow down your search. Our front desk staff members are always excited to list off their favourites.

“Great Hotel with Great Restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel 5 days last week with our church group and we enjoyed every moment we spent there. The hotel is conveniently located and all major attractions are within walking distance, even our church where we had programs. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and we were more than happy with our mattresses. Only negative thing we noticed was the street noise and some nightclub in the building.
Our biggest surprise was the new hotel restaurant. When we stayed there last year, the restaurant was closed, so we expected some kind of commonly hotel restaurant. But their French style restaurant is very enjoyable, cozy, decent place with affordable pricing. We started each day with classic hot breakfast or waffles, which they make in house. During our stay we tried almost entire dinner menu and there was not a single mistake, just everything was so delicious. The service was excellent, though could be faster, but we really enjoyed every dish we had.
We can highly recommend this hotel for everybody who wants to enjoy their stay in Victoria together with great dinning experience.

“Recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

The service (front desk to housekeeping) was top notch - very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had two rooms and one of them was upgraded to a suite. Spotless, roomy and comfortable The fact that we didn't have a car didn't hinder us at all.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the highest floor and away from the street.

Thank you very much to the writer for the lovely comments about our hotel. Not having a car is certainly not a bad thing in Victoria. If you choose to save some money, and come to Victoria without a car, I am confident the Carlton Plaza Hotel would be an ideal location for you. In fact, I often find that guests will bring a car, and leave it parked for the duration of their stay in the city.

Stayed here a few years ago and it wasn't great, went back in December of 2011 for 8 nights. Great experience! The best, friendliest staff ever, rooms very clean, spacious, good rates for the location, convenient walking distance to everything. Pet friendly too. Will definitely go back.

Room Tip: We comfortably slept the whole family in one room with 2 doubles and a sofabed. Full kitchen too.

Thank you very much to the writer for giving us a second opportunity to ensure a memorable hotel stay. Our front desk and housekeeping staff are always excited to read comments such as these.

Also, as the writer has mentioned, we are more than happy to accommodate pets on two floors of the hotel. The cost is a minimal $10 pet fee.

Since we have relatives in town, my wife and I visit Victoria several times a year. Most of the time, we stay at the Carlton Plaza downtown. The location is unbeatable, especially with the free valet parking and its reasonable pricing. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It is our "go to" hotel anytime we are in town.

Room Tip: There is a club nearby that can be noisy Fridays and Saturdays, so near the front of the hotel may b...
