The Spotlight on The Bedford Regency Hotel

Charming Heritage Hotel Steps from Victoria's Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic charm at The Bedford Regency Hotel, set in the heart of downtown Victoria. Just a five-minute walk from the Inner Harbor and nestled among shops, eateries, and nightlife, this boutique-style hotel blends historic elegance with a relaxed vibe. With free WiFi and two on-site restaurants, it’s a great base for exploring the city and catching a live show.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show downtown or at the nearby Inner Harbor venues, you’ll love how walkable this location is. After the encore, it’s an easy stroll back to your room—no pricey rideshares or long walks required. The hotel's central location means you'll be close to the action, but the rooms are quiet enough to ensure a good night's sleep. With a 4 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most travel schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to be close to pubs and venues
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist in a new city
  • Couples looking for a romantic weekend and a show
  • Fans who prefer a quieter, more relaxed recovery after the concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. Grab a bite or a pint at Garrick's Head Pub, one of the oldest pubs in Canada, located right in the hotel. It serves hearty pub fare and local brews—perfect for a post-show meal. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means late-night eats are just steps away, and breakfast spots abound within walking distance for those slow mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is in the thick of downtown Victoria nightlife. Within a short stroll, you’ll find bars, lounges, and live music spots that keep the energy going well after the show ends. Prefer to stay in? The historic on-site pub offers a cozy, laid-back atmosphere with local flavor.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the location, calling it “perfect for exploring downtown on foot.” Many mention the historic charm and friendly service. Reviews also highlight the comfortable beds and the convenience of the on-site pub as major perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that certain rooms show a bit of wear, and that the building’s age means no air conditioning in some rooms—something to keep in mind during warmer months. However, most agree the location and character more than make up for any minor shortcomings.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for location, charm, and walkability, The Bedford Regency Hotel is a solid choice in the heart of Victoria.

Great location but a bit...

Liked: Good location on Government Street close to the harbour and lots of restaurants. Large sunny room. The staff in reception were friendly but didn't help with requests.
Disliked: The toilet ran which meant it started refilling every five minutes and was very noisy. We told reception and they said it had been fixed and when we told them it was not they went to the room again but nothing was done. The room was also very noisy - although we were advised of this. The servicing of the room was very late. We asked for an early check in but the room was not ready until 4pm. On other days we indicated they could clean the room at about 9am but it wasn't done until almost 4pm. When we spoke to the house maid she was surly to say the least.

Liked: Location is super good. Very close to downtown. But they don't provide slippers and toothbrush and toothpaste. A little bit too noise in the evening. Someone singing in the evening.

Health inspection needs to shut...

Disliked: There was black mold in the shower. I had to cancel my stay and they won’t give me my money back. They offered to give me a different room for MORE money without insuring that one won’t have black mold either. I don’t want a respiratory illness so I’m glad I didn’t stay there. Even thought I’m out 350+ dollars I would rather that then stay there.
