Hotel berhampiran Crystal Garden, Victoria

Hotel ini adalah hotel paling terperinci yang pernah saya tinggali di Kanada! Lokasinya di jalan pejalan kaki, hiasannya sangat indah, tempat mandinya penuh dengan L'Occitane, dan terdapat dua pasang selipar! Digemari, kopi juga merupakan jenama yang sangat bagus. Lain kali saya pergi ke Victoria, saya tidak akan pernah melihat mana-mana hotel lain. Pujian lima bintang itu pastinya patut untuknya.

Well I'm not going to say the pillows are the fluffiest I've ever had because I always bring my own pillow, 🤣 But we enjoyed staying at the Bedford Regency Hotel in downtown Victoria British Columbia, the hotel room was very clean and very well kept. And it's right in the heart of downtown Victoria and very close to restaurants bars and shopping. It has a few idiosyncrasies like the lobby is on the second floor and the road in front of the hotel is closed during check-in hours but checking in to the hotel was not a problem. The bed was comfortable and it was not too noisy considering it is close to a few pubs. The TV was a bit high in our room for my viewing as I have neck problems but I was told next time to ask for one that is positioned lower. I liked the vintage look in the rooms. I have never come across a room that had a shower with two shower heads before.

This hotel was perfect for my husband and I. Everywhere was walkable, to the park, Fisherman’s Wharf, to the Parliament and downtown. We enjoyed the quietness of the neighbourhood and the victorian houses. We will definitely consider staying here again!

LOVED my stay here. A hidden gem in Victoria. It’s in James Bay (just on the cusp of downtown). I had a one bedroom queen suite, with an incredible view of the parliament buildings and downtown. I opened all of the blinds because I loved the view of the city scape at night. My room was spacious, clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The soaker tub was perfect after a long day on the road. The bathroom was huge. Robes and slippers are always a nice touch. The bed was comfortable and there was no noise from other units or from outside. The hotel is tucked away in a residential area. The front desk agent was very friendly upon arrival. Check in was a breeze. Secure underground parking was perfect. 10/10 will stay here again.

It's a cute boutique hotel with friendly staff. There's only one elevator and surprisingly it was always available whenever we needed it. You can park on the street (parking meter) or at the parkade behind the red bldg which is across the street (though we didn't check it out). We arrived around 6 pm and had free parking in front of the hotel till 9 am Sunday. There was a fruit bowl and beverages at the front for guests. We had dessert at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious! We were on the top floor and the room was very clean, but I found the pillows very uncomfortable (too puffy and can't flatten them down) for my neck. Unfortunately we stayed during Saturday night and it was super noisy till late at night (from a few cars speeding at the nearby street to some people being very loud) - maybe it's not like that during the weekday. Chinatown, lots of restaurants and the harbour are within walking distance.

I'll start with the good..... free parking, hot water, power shower, daily fresh towels & coffee, iron & ironing board, good staff, microwave, kettle, Keurig, fridge. Our room was OK. However, there is no elevator. The bed creaked every time you moved, the springs were noisy & when one rolled over, the other followed suit, you both rolled together it needs a new mattress & base. The pillows were lumpy and had no substance to them even when you used two. The curtains were threadbare & paint peeling off the walls. No safe in the room. Storage & hangers are minimal. Black grout in between the tiles on the floor (needs a scrub with some grout cleaner). This doesn’t mean it wasn't cleaned as there was no hair in the sink or bath from previous occupants that we saw room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. The sink was not in the bathroom but in the bedroom. Pool & sauna.....pool was warm, but it needs a clean - there were live bugs in the pool we were in it approximately 10 minutes before we got out as we were grosses out, you could not see the bottom it was cloudy. The saunas are separate, one male & one female with change room facilities we didn't use them we also didn't use the fitness room. Access to the pool/sauna/fitness room, you have to go outside, walk the path , and then re-enter the building. The on-site dining....The Loft great staff with good pub food salt n pepper pork bites were very the kitchen staff worked very hard. Live music most nights but not disturbed by it. The Coachman, we had 1 breakfast there, and it wasn't great. Apparently, the chef was Grumpy that day .... maybe that's why it wasn't great? Waitress was great. All in all staff, were great, shower was powerful & hot, bed was not comfy we won't stay here again when we visit next.

Wir haben uns für dieses Hotel aufgrund des Preises, der Lage und der kostenlosen Parkplätze entschieden. Obwohl die vorherigen Bewertungen teilweise nicht gut waren. Bei unserer Ankunft waren wir angenehm überrascht - der Eingangsbereich ist sehr einladend. Der Empfang war äußerst freundlich, wir haben einige Tipps erhalten, die sich als sehr wertvoll erwiesen haben. Das Zimmer war modern, nur etwas klein. Dafür gab es einen Balkon mit Blick auf den leeren Pool. Besonders positiv zu erwähnen ist das Bad. Alles sehr modern, beheizter Spiegel und eine ebenerdige Dusche. Mit dem Auto sind es übrigens nur ein paar Minuten ins Zentrum.

The hotel in general was alright. Nothing too special or fancy. There was a good restaurant at the base called Bin 4. What makes this hotel not great is that from the time that we were there (3 nights), 4 car windows were smashed and broken into including our own car. There was nothing in the vehicle. It seemed just to happen for the purpose of breaking something. The worst part is the day if we had to do a 7 hour drive home taking the ferry and the Coquihalla. The hotel says there is 24/7 security and people at the hotel which just doesn’t make sense for so many vehicles being broken into. Of course the hotel isn’t ‘responsible’. May not be the place you want to stay and certainly don’t leave anything in your car.

At first glance the hotel is appealing and welcoming. They may be experiencing a lack in staffing as very evident when checking in to be stuck in a very long line with 2 employees only at the desk for 3pm check in time. Of my 30 friends all attending the same NYE event, none got their rooms on time. I waiting until 4:30 pm for mine putting me behind and lost time to use any amenties ie pool etc., or for preparing for a 6pm start for the party with the appetizers. Appetizers were very limited as the buffett also was. very basic food, ie. a salad bun basket, pasta dish, potato surprise, and an overcooked beef hip at the end of the table. Desserts were very limited also. The bar was also understaff for the numbers attending. Very long lineups and $9 a drink was certainly too steep. Sure didn't feel like the $85 plus tax tickets worth. The saving grace for this event was the fantastic band and terrific crowd I was with to ring in the new year.

Auf unserer Kanda-Rundreise haben wir ein paar Tage im Brentwood Bay Resort verbracht. Gebucht haben wir eine Ocean Suite. Das Personal war wirklich sehr freundlich, das Zimmer mega schön, alles sauber, die Betten bequem, vor allem das Bad mit der Wanne „halb im Zimmer“ echt schön und mal was anderes. Wir haben abends im Pub gegessen und das Essen war lecker :) Einen Pool gibt es auch. Grundsätzlich ja ok, aber die Lage von diesem war für uns persönlich ein großer Nachteil. Die Zimmer mit Balkonen liegen quasi direkt am Pool und sind somit einsehbar. Alle können einem beim abendlichen „draußensitzen“ zugucken, ebenso schräg vom Restaurant aus. Die Lautstärke ist dementsprechend. Als wir da waren (unter der Woche), war es nicht super voll und demnach aushaltbar. Bei voll besetztem Pool und gut besuchtem Pub (zB am Wochenende) wird das wohl anders sein. Wir haben versucht, das Zimmer zu tauschen (was leider nicht möglich war) und haben uns tatsächlich etwas in unserer Privatsphäre gestört gefühlt. Davon abgesehen haben wir unseren Aufenthalt aber sehr genossen!
