Strathcona Hotel

I love staying at the Strathcona Hotel because it has so many options for food, socials and is close to all amenities in Victoria. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, quiet, clean and reasonably priced.

Liked: The staff are super friendly, efficient and helpful.

Liked: The location is perfect. In the middle of downtown. We can walk to everywhere. The staff were so welcoming and engaging.

The room and location are...

Liked: The room was fantastic, everything I had hoped for. Street view was excellent and bedroom was quiet and dark. Well laid out room. The location is excellent with parking right around the corner. Fridge, coffee maker, ironing board, iron, microwave, all the things anyone might need. Wonderful shower and very clean washroom. My 84 year old mother and my younger sister and I all wanted to stay longer than one night! My sister and mother slept in the king size bed, and I slept on the pull-out couch. It was the most comfortable hide-a-bed I've ever slept on, and the pillows are amazing! We enjoyed going to the pub Big Bad Johns and the night club Sticky Wicket. Most important to me was that no vacuums started up before check out time! I have stayed in several rooms at the Strathcona when I visit from out of town and highly recommend it.
Disliked: I was a bit offended by the front desk person when I checked in. She spoke so fast and with an accent that I didn't understand, and I had to repeatedly say "pardon me?" because I didn't understand her. Perhaps if she had talked slower that might have helped. It was especially difficult to understand her when I was signing the paper work. Overall I would rate the reception service as poor. It could definitely be improved. Also, my mother and sister informed me the next morning that the king size bed in the bedroom had no blanket or duvet on it, and they were cold. I'm guessing maybe the housekeeper might have forgot to put the duvet on? But the heating controls work just fine so we turned it up.
