My partner and myself had the opportunity to stay at the guest house for 10 days. Our stay was amazing, the owner left nothing out and it was the best place we have ever stayed for any of our vacations. I would highly recommend the Oak Bay Guest House to anyone staying in Victoria for any length of time. Service was fantastic, food nothing short of excellent and hospitality plus. Location was prime. Walking beautiful, transit available often.
A gem for Victoria!

The description of the Oak Bay Guest House is promising. We found it a nice hotel but not very cosy. We missed the kettle in the common area to make a fresh cup of tea. There was no kettle in the rooms either. The guesthouse is located near the centre and close to the harbour where we had diner in a lovely restaurant looking out over the harbour.

Our party stayed here in mid December 2011 for a friends wedding.
As our group of family and friends was quite large, we had rented the entire place, and that worked out fabulously for us.
The staff were very welcoming! I commented the first evening that it felt like we were staying at a family member's place, rather than a hotel/inn. The sitting room was nicely decorated for christmas, and the decor throughout the house was very thoughtful.
The rooms were quite simple, with simple furnishings, but the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean and well stocked.
Took advantage of the breakfast both mornings, and was not disspointed, the benny was great, and after breakfast we were given freshly baked scones to snack on later.
We rarely needed to contact the gentleman who was running the place, but when we did he was courteous and prompt. The lounge upstairs served as a gathering place for our group, and we sang songs late into the night. I could imagine that if it weren't all family and freinds staying together that the noise from the lounge might have carried down the upstairs hall, but we didn't hear a peep from downstairs.
This was one of my first experiences in a bed and breakfast, though this place felt a bit more like an inn/guesthouse... however you choose to describe it, the experience was a great one, and I certainly reccomend it for a group! As for a couples getaway, I'll let you know, my girlfriend and I were so impresssed we're planning a trip back in the early part of the new year.

I highly recommend the Oak Bay Guest House as a place to stay if you're planning a trip to Victoria, B.C. The hospitality was so welcoming by the owner, Egly. She made our stay just delightful. The rooms were comfortable, the breakfasts very tasty and filling, and the general ambience so relaxing.
There are ample areas to sit and read by the fire or visit with family or friends in several lovely common areas.
