The Spotlight on The Bedford Regency Hotel

Charming Heritage Hotel Steps from Victoria's Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic charm at The Bedford Regency Hotel, set in the heart of downtown Victoria. Just a five-minute walk from the Inner Harbor and nestled among shops, eateries, and nightlife, this boutique-style hotel blends historic elegance with a relaxed vibe. With free WiFi and two on-site restaurants, it’s a great base for exploring the city and catching a live show.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show downtown or at the nearby Inner Harbor venues, you’ll love how walkable this location is. After the encore, it’s an easy stroll back to your room—no pricey rideshares or long walks required. The hotel's central location means you'll be close to the action, but the rooms are quiet enough to ensure a good night's sleep. With a 4 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most travel schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to be close to pubs and venues
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist in a new city
  • Couples looking for a romantic weekend and a show
  • Fans who prefer a quieter, more relaxed recovery after the concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. Grab a bite or a pint at Garrick's Head Pub, one of the oldest pubs in Canada, located right in the hotel. It serves hearty pub fare and local brews—perfect for a post-show meal. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means late-night eats are just steps away, and breakfast spots abound within walking distance for those slow mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is in the thick of downtown Victoria nightlife. Within a short stroll, you’ll find bars, lounges, and live music spots that keep the energy going well after the show ends. Prefer to stay in? The historic on-site pub offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with local flavor.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the location, calling it “perfect for exploring downtown on foot.” Many mention the historic charm and friendly service. Reviews also highlight the comfortable beds and the convenience of the on-site pub as major perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that certain rooms show a bit of wear, and that the building’s age means no air conditioning in some rooms—something to keep in mind during warmer months. However, most agree the location and character more than make up for any minor shortcomings.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for location, charm, and walkability, The Bedford Regency Hotel is a solid choice in the heart of Victoria.

Good location, spacious rooms. Older...

Liked: Friendly staff, great location in the middle of downtown victoria. Our room was quiet and quite large. We were there Friday to Monday and didn't get any issues with noise that others mentioned, even when it was quite loud on the street on Friday/Saturday night
Disliked: Rooms were definitely dated, with some peeling paint and some odd features (two showerheads in the shower on opposite sides?). Price was not low, but that's to be expected during peak tourist season (early July). Air conditioner unit struggled to cool the room.

Way overpriced for what was...

Liked: The location was central.
Disliked: The room was the size of a shoe box. The bed was an old hunk of junk. The bathroom was gross and old. The refrigerator ran all night long and was loud.It was the worst.

Liked: No breakfast. Location was bad due to no parking.
Disliked: Old hotel trying to have a good reputation. Hard to find. The secure parking was 2 1/2 blocks away to try to bring suitcases back.
