Uncomfortable walking past some homeless people in the surrounding streets. Hotel main entrance is locked and requires card access after 8 pm as a safety measure. But location is close to downtown and a manned city parkade is just opposite and free parking on Sunday’s and holidays. The fridge and the expression machine are noisy.

I loved this hotel. It was clean, quiet, and the beds were like sleeping in a cloud. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is they turn the air-conditioner down throughout the hotel as it was quite chilly and we had to keep switching the heat on, but that was our only inconvenience.

The hotel itself is considered an ‘boutique’ hotel, its small, older building, renovated nicely inside and out. Unfortunately, no onsite parking and no valet service. Had to follow a map to get my vehicle to the paid parking which was secure and underground; just a bit of a process to drive my car there and then to walk back to the hotel. The biggest letdown though is the area and neighbourhood which has unfortunately gone downhill over the past several years.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Rialto. It is a boutique size and style hotel with all the expected amenities including an on-site restaurant and lounge. Front desk was very helpful in arranging for luggage storage and advising on transportation options. Lounge was very relaxing with generous happy hours and comfortable surroundings. A special thank you to Zoey for her pleasant company, tasteful drinks and friendly advice on things to do while in Victoria.
