My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, but the dated balcony somewhat detracted from the overall view, and the cost for one night exceeded $200 due to extra pet and parking fees. However, the rooms themselves were spacious.

My stay at the Chateau Victoria was lovely. The rooms were nice, with very comfy beds, and the location was central to a lot of things in downtown Victoria. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff providing excellent information on getting around. However, the dining experience at VISTA-18 was a bit disappointing. The hotel facilities were great overall, and the price was worth it.

Our stay at the hotel was quite an adventure, nestled on the second floor, where we found the pool, fitness room, function rooms, and vending machines to be conveniently located. The staff, who were very kind and helpful, guided us to great dinner spots in the area. However, the dining experience, especially at the restaurant atop at VISTA-18 overlooking the city, left something to be desired. The hotel's location at the heart of Downtown Victoria was a major plus for us, allowing easy access to all the sights and attractions. The facilities were accommodating, although there were some hiccups with the dining service.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The room had a view of the loading dock, but it was surprisingly quiet and very comfortable. The bed was just perfect for a great night's sleep. The staff in the bar and restaurant were so professional and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work. The location was excellent, just a short stroll to the harbour and close to everything I wanted to explore in Victoria. The dining experience, especially in the rooftop restaurant with its spectacular panoramic views, was simply lovely. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor drawbacks.
