“Good hotel Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2010

Stayed for two nights.
This hotel is difficult to fault. It overlooks and is five minutes walk from the harbour and ten from a very beautiful city centre. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
The BC Museum and IMAX cinema are next door and both worth a visit.
We ate at the KEG restaurant nearby. Expensive but great quality steaks.
We also ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Reasonable food and great value.
Breakfasts good at the hotel.
Staff friendly and helpful

“Location, location' location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

The Embassy Inn Victoria was probably one of the most convenient places we have stayed in a city. We arrived by local bus a couple of blocks away and were able to go out everyday on foot and discover the interesting parts of Victoria. The room was standard but very clean and comfortable. The linen a bit old but everything else in good condition. We did not try the pool but saw many others doing so especially those with children. We took the advice of other Trip advisor reviewers and booked in the tower block which is away from the pool. the staff were very helpful and our welcome from Reece who was at the desk when we arrived, much appreciated.

“Outstanding Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

Great Location – Great Hotel – Great Staff: The Embassy Inn is not what you would expect. It is very much like a "motel" however the newer section is a hotel. It has a heated outdoor pool and motel like rooms adjacent to it. The location is fantastic; 1/2 block from the seawall right beside the parliament buildings. This is the second year my friend and I stayed there. It is clean and quiet. I would recommend booking it on line through expedia or orbitz. We phoned direct this time and it was about $50/night more doing it that way.
We never ate in the restaurant; free parking and free wifi. We wanted to have a pool side room but they were sold out; which may have been a good thing as those rooms do not have air conditioning.

“Great location and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

This hotel is in a great location - right next to the parliament building and just off the harbour, so ideal for visiting Victoria. We had two rooms in the newer part of the hotel and they were both very large - one with a huge queen bed and kitchenette and one with two double beds and both had a balcony and good sized bathrooms. The decor is a little old fashioned and worn in places and the beds had blankets rather than duvets, but overall the hotel is good value and very convenient. There is an outdoor swimming pool that is in the older part of the hotel where the accommodation looks more like a basic motel, but everywhere was clean and in good repair. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and there is plenty of free parking. The dining room for breakfast is large and airy with a good choice of food and very friendly and helpful staff.

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2010

The hotel is in good location and close to Port-Angle ferry terminal. I wanted to take the 10:30am ferry and the cashier told me to go to the terminal as early as possible liked before 7:30am. We checked out the hotel next day. After we went to the terminal, we found out we were the second car in the parking lot. Luckily the hotel let us stayed in one of our romm to rest until 9am.

I read the advise here and booked the North Tower. But I think we were still placed in South Tower. The carpet is little dirty.
