We stayed in a one bedroom suite and i couldn't believe how well the kitchen was stocked! The staff was so helful! I would highly recomend this hotel!

The rates were very reasonable compared to a number of other hotels, and the bonus of having a full equipped kitchen made the trip even easier. We opted for the 2 bedroom suite, which had a good layout and felt more like a condo than hotel room.

Pros:
Good rates, close to parliament buildings/museum/downtown, room was fresh and clean, friendly staff

Cons:
Need much better sound insulation between the hallway and the rooms. When there were people talking out in the hallway, I could clearly hear everything. Wasn't an issue while in the bedrooms, but very distracting when in the living room/kitchen area.

I found the beds to be small -- a king bed would have been a better fit in this suite.

The staff are exceptional. The location is ideal. The price was quite a value. Basically, I am completely happy with my stay. If I have one complaint, its that housekeeping is not daily if you are staying long term. Not a big deal, I know how to run the dishwasher... however, other places in the same price range usually have daily housekeeping service. Overall I am very happy and will not hesitate to return. I do think the hotel is about due for a bed replacement, but the beds are not uncomfortable.

I spent one night at the Oswego Hotel in a studio suite and was impressed with all aspects of this property. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with excellent proximity to downtown Victoria, allowing walkability for business and leisure travelers alike. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff, exceptionally clean room with unexpected room amenities.

I was surprised at the compact, yet full kitchen, which was equipped with a microwave, cooktop, compact fridge and dishwasher as well as all necessary kitchen wares and small appliances. The French press and complimentary fair trade organic coffee were a nice luxury touch!

The bathroom was spa like and spacious and I appreciated the inclusion of two bathrobes, a container of cotton swabs, cotton balls and decent quality toiletries. The water pressure in the shower was fabulous and this is one of my "great hotel" must-haves.

I was a little apprehensive about the Murphy bed, fearing the mattress would be uncomfortable and thin. It was a bit firm for my liking, but my fear of feeling springs poke through was un-founded.

Finally, the linens and towels were crisp, clean and new.

My only criticism would be that noise from the hallway tends to travel into the room. I don't see this as a deal breaker though as there were only 9 rooms on the the ninth floor (were I stayed) and all I heard was one couple talking and laughing as they made their way to their room from the elevator. It didn't strike me as the type of hotel that would attract a "rowdy" clientele.

I will most definitely stay at this property when I return to Victoria - no point in looking elsewhere! Hoping next time that I will have an opportunity to try the bistro on the ground floor which looked lovely, and as others have mentioned, had phenomenally good prices.
