The Victoria Hostel, housed in a beautiful heritage building in the city's historic downtown centre, is close to the picturesque waterfront, the legislature buildings, and the Royal British Columbia Museum. The Victoria hostel makes a perfect base for exploring Vancouver Island!

The Victoria Hostel has various facilities on offer including, Internet access, TV room, common room, self-catering kitchen and laundry facilities. Groups, families and individual travellers are all welcome and with a games room, guests have a great opportunity to meet other people from around the world.

Guests can take one of the free walking tours on offer with a local volunteer and discover the beauty of Victoria off the beaten path.

Great location, has all the essentials, just a sterile environment. Beds lack a light, shelf to place glasses, plug etc. Lockers require a large lock, rather than what most travels have. Staff don't keep noise down after sleeping hours, there's no atmosphere & staff appear to be only interested in checking you in/out & doing laundry. It lacks people working there who travel, have traveled, are interested in travelers & sharing what's in the area to do. Bread jam bfast, no parking.

Thank you Diana. being an older building with thick walls it is difficult to reach all areas well with a strong wifi signal. We are working on solutions.

Thanks for the feedback. We try to keep our costs to guests as low as possible so we have a fairly simple continental breakfast. We will see what we can do. happy travels
