Marketa's Bed and Breakfast

Edwardian Elegance Close to Victoria’s Music Scene

Marketa's Bed and Breakfast offers a cozy, romantic alternative to traditional hotels, set inside a beautifully restored Edwardian home in downtown Victoria. Just a 10-minute walk from popular local attractions and venues like the Royal BC Museum, this charming B&B combines vintage décor—think four-poster beds, fireplaces, and original artwork—with thoughtful modern touches like free Wi-Fi and gourmet breakfasts.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a 15-minute stroll from many of Victoria’s live music venues, making it easy to slip back to your room after a night out. The peaceful, residential vibe of the area means you can recover in quiet comfort—no noisy hallways or street traffic. With a flexible afternoon check-in at 13:00, you’ll have time to get settled before heading out for the show. While check-out is early at 08:00, the serene setting and restful sleep make it easier to get moving in the morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Couples looking to turn a concert night into a romantic getaway
• Solo travelers catching a must-see artist and craving a cozy home base
• Fans who want a quiet, artsy space to unwind post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking charm and value

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a standout gourmet breakfast featuring home-baked scones, French toast, pancakes, or Montreal-style bagels, all served in a sunny breakfast room or on the terrace. While there’s no late-night dining on-site, downtown Victoria offers plenty of nearby eateries within walking distance for a post-concert bite. Just note that room service isn’t available, so plan those snacks accordingly.

Nightlife Options

While the B&B itself leans more tranquil than rowdy, you’re a short walk from downtown bars, pubs, and lounges offering everything from craft cocktails to live music. If you prefer a quieter evening, the private library and relaxing rooms make for the perfect wind-down space after a show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the intimate, welcoming atmosphere, the delicious homemade breakfast, and the walkable location close to downtown attractions. Many also appreciate the unique character of the rooms and the personalized service from the host, Marketa.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the early check-out time (08:00) can feel a bit rushed after a late night out, and the lack of TVs in rooms might not suit everyone. But if you’re here for charm, not channel surfing, it’s a small trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Marketa’s Bed and Breakfast is a warm, character-filled hideaway perfectly suited for concert-goers wanting a peaceful, stylish stay close to Victoria’s live music venues.
