The Spotlight on Island Travel Inn

Budget-Friendly Comfort in Central Victoria

Modern convenience meets affordable comfort at the Island Travel Inn, a no-frills hotel located just off the Trans-Canada Highway in downtown Victoria. With simple, wood-furnished rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a central location only minutes from the Inner Harbour and city attractions, it’s an easy choice for concert-goers looking for accessibility and value.
Each room includes a coffee maker, cable TV, and a work desk, perfect for quick pre-show prep or post-show wind down.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre or enjoying a night of music near the Inner Harbour, Island Travel Inn puts you in a convenient spot—just a 5-minute drive from most downtown venues. Its 24-hour front desk is perfect for late-night check-ins, and the location near major roads makes grabbing a cab or rideshare after a show easy. Plus, the area stays relatively quiet at night despite being central, offering a solid chance to rest up after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends needing a central, affordable crash pad
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
  • Couples making a weekend of it in Victoria
  • Fans wanting a quieter space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who care more about location than luxury

Food and Drink Options

This hotel is more about location than luxury, so while there's no on-site restaurant, you’re steps from downtown eateries open late. Grab quick bites at nearby diners or pubs before or after the show. Each room includes a coffee maker, and there are vending machines for snacks. Breakfast options are walkable, perfect for a slow start the morning after.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no bar on-site, the hotel’s location puts you within walking distance of downtown Victoria’s pubs, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you're into craft brews or low-key post-show drinks, you’ll find a spot nearby to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the excellent location, especially for those attending events or hopping on the ferry. Reviewers appreciate the affordable rates and the friendly, helpful staff. The rooms are described as simple but clean—ideal for short stays when convenience is key.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for luxury seekers. Some guests note that the rooms and furnishings could use a refresh, and there’s no elevator, so pack light if you’re on an upper floor. Still, for the price and location, most agree it’s a solid value.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show and just need a clean, comfy place to crash nearby, Island Travel Inn delivers unbeatable convenience on a budget.

Nope

Liked: First room was right next to the road, asked for a different room and had to wait an hour for a room. I checked in at their requested check in time of 3pm. Front desk kept trying to “explain,” wouldn’t stop talking. Clearly don’t pick up that o was not interested in hearing excuses.
Disliked: Please see above

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

As a two or three...

Liked: It was certainly easy access from the street because we were on bikes. It’s a short walk to the main attractions so that was good.
Disliked: The property is in an area where are lots of homeless people. But it is like that in most major cities now. It wasn’t noisy.
