This hotel is one of two in Victoria-by-the-Sea.

We thought it was of great value to have a CLEAN suite with two bedrooms, bathroom and a little visiting room with a sofa, fridge and telly plus breakfast all for 160 a night.

The decor is a bit quirky but it was spotless, smelled clean and the people who own it were very welcoming and kept the property immaculate.

We would have stayed longer had we the chance.

The hotel is centrally located minutes from the beach in a super-quaint village complete with two pubs, lovely gift shops, bakeries, art studios and of course the lovely bay of red sand.

Absolutely captivating!

By comparison to all of my Inn experiences, this was disappointing. The room was ordinary (tired looking, no view, polyester sheets) but more expensive that other, beautifully appointed Inns on the island. Breakfast was menial at best. The hostess introduced the main dish as "a crustless quiche". This was a small slice of scrambled egg type mixture with nothing added but a strange orange powder on the surface that (I think) was supposed to represent melted cheddar cheese. (I was stunned by the pretense) This was supplemented by cold cereal and a limited quantity of small dense muffins. I've stayed at many B&B Inns over many years. This is the first time I've written a review on any accommodation or service. I do so now because the experience left me feeling (for the first time) like I'd been fleeced.

I enjoyed my stay at this historic inn... The staff is really friendly and I enjoyed meeting fellow vacationers at breakfast. A couple things to improve are extend breakfast hours, as 8 to 9 is too early when you are on vacation and also increase portions of the hot dish. I left breakfast feeling hungry the 3 mornings I was there!

The Orient Hotel is good small hotel in an interesting village. The village is in an attractive location; and, in spite of its small size, it has some good restaurants.
