Robert Porter House Inn

A great stay and pretty...

Liked: Great location in downtown Victoria near the Legislature Building, provincial Museum and Empress Hotel. Its a neat place. Communicationwith the host was very good with important information well laid out.
Disliked: I typically prefer a less spongy mattress cover, but that is a matter of personal taste and not really any form of shortcoming on behalf of the property or host.

Great location within a few...

Liked: Great location within walking distance and quiet. Near the park.
Disliked: We rented two rooms and the only bad comment is the upstairs room took a while to cool down, which normally wouldn’t be an issue in Victoria. Not a lot bad to say.

Superb

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay...

Liked: Location, individual rooms
Disliked: More information about what was available for breakfast and where to find things

Superb

Disliked: We found this signage confusing. This was more an amusing challenge than a real problem. The door, when we tested it, was firmly locked. The only option would appear to be to break the glass. The note should add that staff will unlock the door at the suitable time.

Hope to stay with you...

Liked: Great area. Comfortable homey room. Available parking for guest. Good breakfast. Quiet. Coffee, tea, breakfast supplied. Interesting room set up.
Disliked: Felt a little exposed to the outside world on the lower level. Felt like I was juggling with the soap and shampoo in the bathroom.

Exceptional

Liked: This is a beautiful and stylish place to stay within easy walking distance of Victoria Inner Harbour. There was a cute note on the door for my arrival. Information to help with everything as a visitor was laid out. If you have the opportunity to go to the family area I totally recommend it, it is stunning. The suite was cosy and comfortable with a fab communal area. I enjoyed sitting in my courtyard amongst the beautiful garden after a long day exploring.
Disliked: I wished I had booked longer.

The stay was fine but...

Liked: The room was large and well maintained. The location is excellent, very central.
Disliked: Access to the room was a little awkward. Breakfast was marginal and there was no host to interface with. This wasn't necessarily an issue for us because we live on Vancouver island (Campbell River). However, foreigners would likely find this offputing since the purpose of using B&Bs is to have the opportunity to interface with "locals." In that sense the property is operated more like a hotel.

Cute room, excellent location.

Liked: Excellent location, quiet, cute room, easy check-in and access. Great suggestions for nearby restaurants/shops.
Disliked: Very limited amenities (toiletries, coffee/tea, no pastries/biscuits). Signs taped all over the room.
