Fantastic location! You're not going to find a better and more convenient location in the City! Incredibly friendly staff! The place was noisy, parties going on down the hall when we were there, but to be expected in the heart of the action I suppose. Would recommend it!

Great location; easy walk from ferry terminal and central to many area attractions or easy to get to transportation for outlying attractions. Room was a bit tight, but we were not there to spend time in room except for resting and showering, so that really did not concern us. Would stay here again. Staff was great also.

Great hotel downtown Victoria - charming!

This was a lovely stay - the staff at this hotel were exceptional. It is an excellent location - central Victoria downtown - handy walk to everything. It outwardly appears to have a bit of a sketchy element - connected to liquor store, and two pubs - but I was travelling with my two kids and we loved the old hotel glamour and downtown feel - and felt safe and well looked after for our weekend stay!!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We were upgraded to a king suite which was very bright and clean. Location was superb, just a short walk to restaurants, shopping and the harbour. Will definitely return again.

The Strathcona is an older hotel but is clean and comfortable.. The staff were very friendly - they upgraded us, as our room wasn't ready. Everyone we've dealt with has been extremely pleasant. We are within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. The only complaint is that the air conditioner is so noisy we have to turn it off to sleep.

It was a stylish hotel in a cool building but be aware that it is downtown so parking is a bit sketchy and walking downtown you need to be aware of your surroundings.

Customer Experience Needs Aligning

Strangely enough, I had to register my husband’s name as an additional guest in the room, and the front desk clerk was adamant that I had to provide his full name, before I could be issued our room key cards. When I asked why, I was told it was for my safety (if they needed to evacuate, then they’d have a total headcount - - which they’d have from a guest COUNT, and not from guest NAMES). When I asked again later in the conversation, I was told it was for security. When I followed up with the GM the next day, I was told that it was for guest experience reasons - - many times, one party misplaces their keycard and needs a new one, but if they’re not a registered guest in the room, it’s a hassle to contact the registered guest to get them to come to the front desk and get a new keycard issued. Sure, I suppose I can appreciate the guest experience reason - but if I don’t feel the need to register my guest’s name, it shouldn’t be pressed, because I can guarantee the family of 5 who checked in simultaneously as us, weren’t asked to provide the full names of their teenage kids staying with them.

There was an open air, no roof disco, dance club outside of my window which is part of the Strathcona. I was basically in a disco until the closed early in the morning even though I was in my room the entire time. It was extremely loud, and I could not sleep.
