The rooms were totally satisfactory, the beds were super comfortable. The staff are terrific. Very warm, friendly and helpful. Kids will love this place. There are games, cool area to watch TV, play ping-pong and a nice outdoor pool. Wish we were able to stay longer to experience more of it.

Not a great stay

My daughter found an old sanitary napkin on the floor. We woke up to a loud splash from the bathroom where a leak poured out from the fan. I was nervous that I didn't know where the water came from. We didn't use the bathroom and just checked out early.

I had a # of flights cancelled and had to quickly “day of stay” book a room at the Vic, Ascend Hotel through Expedia. The reservation was non-cancellable. Then my flight to Victoria was cancelled! I called the hotel and asked if I could cancel the room with no penalty or get a hotel credit. The reservation desk was very nice. Initially, they said “no”. I asked them to consult with the manager. The reservation desk called me back saying the manager’s decision was “no”. The hotel is in the right to charge me, but no flexibility. “It’s the policy”. Frustrating day. Would have been good to get a break. I’ll remember the treatment next time I book in Victoria.

The Vic is by far my favourite place to stay when I’m in Victoria. The location is perfect being not to far from downtown and has a beautiful place to walk on the water close by. The staff is always so welcoming and always go out of their way to make my stay the best it can be! Thanks and I’ll be back very soon

For the price, it was perfect for our 2 day trip. Nice to have a common room and outdoor pool. Everything was clean. We had booked another hotel first but then changed to the Vic because it was $125 less per night and I'm sure we had just as good of an experience. Only minor issue is that the individual room air conditioners are a bit loud. Otherwise perfect and close to town.
