The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel

Comfortable Downtown Stay for Music Lovers

Modern and convenient, the Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel sits right in the heart of downtown Victoria. This well-kept, classic-style hotel offers cozy rooms with thoughtful amenities, including a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and free Wi-Fi—perfect for travelers wanting a home base near the city’s buzzing nightlife and concert scene. With easy access to restaurants, bars, and live music venues, it’s a solid choice for music fans looking to stay central without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel nails it. You're within easy walking distance or a short taxi ride to Victoria's top music venues, so there’s no need to worry about long post-show treks. Guests appreciate the quiet, comfortable rooms after a high-energy show—ideal for winding down. With a 12:00 PM checkout, there’s no rush the next morning, and the front desk is known for being flexible when possible. Public transport and ride-shares are easily accessible for late-night returns.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends attending a weekend festival or show
- Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
- Couples planning a music-filled escape
- Fans who prefer a quieter room to recharge after the concert
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want a downtown location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant makes grabbing a bite easy before or after a show, and there are plenty of walkable late-night eateries nearby. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room mini-fridge and coffee facilities are a nice touch. Breakfast is available and starts early enough to suit both early risers and those recovering from a late night.

Nightlife Options

Victoria’s vibrant bar and lounge scene is just steps away—whether you're after chill craft cocktails or more live music. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live performances, its central location puts you close to some of the city's top nightlife spots.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and unbeatable downtown location. Many reviews mention the hotel’s quiet atmosphere despite being central, and the free Wi-Fi is a definite plus. The valet service and business center also get solid marks.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are slightly dated in décor, and the hotel doesn’t have its own bar—so pre-show cocktails will mean heading out. Some guests found parking a bit pricey, but that’s typical for the downtown area.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a central, quiet, and affordable base in downtown Victoria, the Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel hits all the right notes.

Great staff, nice, clean hotel....

Liked: Great staff, nice and clean with attention to detail, easy walk from the black ball ferry.
Disliked: Our room (4th floor) was right above a night club and we can hear the music thumping until it stopped at 2AM. My son couldn’t sleep until past 2AM - subsequently had problems waking up early to do our next day sight seeing
