Appears that the Craigmyle, built in 1912, is the oldest B&B in Victoria. The building is in excellent historical condition & it was nice to be situated directly across from the castle. Rooms are a tad small, but clean & well kept. There is no A/C or elevators. Staff are friendly & accommodating. We enjoyed the $10 breakfast along with complimentary coffee & tea. The common areas of kitchen, living & dining room are cozy, well kept & inviting. Kitchen area is convenient for preparing your own meals & snacks. Location of Craigmyle is a 20-30 min walk into the downtown area with shops & restaurants along the way (Fort St), bus stop nearby.

Very quiet area right next to the castle, clean and nicely decorated rooms, very comfortable beds, access to the large living room and kitchen area and fridge. Lots of stairs outside and inside and no ac for hot summer months, but not a problem in September when we were there. Would recommend

We were very disappointed with our room at the Craigmyle. I booked two rooms, one for myself and my husband and one for our cousin and her husband (room #103 and104). We paid the same amount for both rooms yet our bathroom was ridiculously smaller. There was absolutely no room for toiletries, a stand up shower only, and the sink was so small. Our relatives had a much bigger bathroom with a tub and space for their toiletries.I don’t understand why both rooms cost the same. Very disappointing. I will never book here again.

We love the location and the beautiful decor. Definitely only for people who can manage steep parts and stairs. We loved being able to walk into town down FortStreet and how quiet it was at night. Communication online and in person was poor, but other than that, we probably would stay again if we were ever back in Victoria.

A castle in the backyard!

A lovely spot well situated for walkability to downtown & Dallas Road. The garden unit was lovely and clean, though there was a funky smell from some of the kitchen's cleaning supplies. Otherwise comfortable with our own exterior entrance and patio.

After 10 minutes ran out of hot water in the shower Couldn’t open the blind to get fresh air and look outside we could hear the other guests talking. The room for 2 people was too small, no area for toiletries in the bathroom We liked the age of the house, it was clean

Be prepared for lots of stairs (especially if handling heavy luggage), however the property does give ample warning. Also minimal bathroom countertop space and limited space to put luggage in room. Parking was available, however we did have to park down at the end of the block and around the corner at times, but very doable. The staff was very friendly & accommodating and rooms/property were clean and inviting. It was actually kinda nice to be staying in a residential neighborhood (with a beautiful big castle literally in the backyard).
