Such a WONDERFUL place to stay!! The hotel is located just a few blocks from the legislature, so downtown is very walkable as is Dallas Road with its gorgeous rocky beaches. Everyone who works there was so kind and helpful, and the JBI Restaurant had consistently delicious food. I will recommend this property to anyone I know heading Victoria, and, when I hopefully return, I can’t see myself staying anywhere else. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Person painting the house was right outside the bathroom window which had peeling opaque film for privacy. At 8:30 p.m.! A bit eerie. Bar patrons outside below bedroom window smoking pot and cigarettes - stinky. Stairs to suite very steep with narrow treads. Dangerous and certainly not to code.

Love this place! Stayed there three times. Beautiful Victorian homes in the neighborhood. Well kept, very clean. They go out of their way to make you comfortable. Such kind people caring for you. Nice restaurant on the lower floor, very good food and wonderful staff. Walking distance to the waterfront, Parliament building, buses, Museum and Victoria Clipper. Doesn’t have air conditioning or elevator,but I am 80 years old and didn’t have a problem. So worth a stay. Off the beaten path and so quiet. I’ll stay there again 💕

Just exploring lovely Victoria. James Bay Inn was perfect for me. Walking distance to many sites to see. Definitely recommending the restaurant & pub downstairs. Speaking of stairs, there are no elevators but they help with getting luggage up & down.
