The Spotlight on The Embassy Inn

Comfort and Convenience in Victoria’s Inner Harbour

Modern yet laid-back, The Embassy Inn offers a prime location in Victoria’s scenic Inner Harbour, just a short stroll from top attractions, theaters, and live music venues. With spacious rooms, private balconies, and thoughtful in-room amenities like refrigerators and tea/coffee makers, it's a welcoming home base for music lovers exploring the city.
Guests enjoy free WiFi throughout the property and on-site parking (available for a daily fee), making it easy to come and go without hassle.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate how close this hotel is to major downtown venues — you can walk to a show in minutes and be back in your room before the encore fades. Rooms offer a peaceful retreat from the buzz of the city, with quiet surroundings and comfy furnishings ideal for post-show wind-downs. While check-in starts at 3:30 PM, the staff are known for their flexibility when possible, and the 11 AM check-out gives you time to recover after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, walkable base
  • Solo travelers in town for a must-see show
  • Couples turning a concert into a relaxing weekend escape
  • Fans who want a calm, quiet space after the lights go down
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning right with a free breakfast buffet — perfect after a long night out. While the hotel doesn't have its own restaurant, you're within easy walking distance of downtown eateries ranging from cozy cafés to late-night bites. In-room refrigerators also make it easy to store snacks or leftovers for a quick late-night nibble.

Nightlife Options

Victoria's downtown nightlife is just steps away, offering everything from pubs and wine bars to venues with live music. The hotel’s location makes it easy to catch a set, grab a nightcap, and stroll home safely — no rideshare required.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and unbeatable Inner Harbour location. The balconies are a guest favorite, offering a great place to relax before or after a show. Many reviewers highlight the breakfast as a major perk, especially for the price point.

Areas for Improvement

If you're a night owl, note that there's no on-site bar or room service available late. Parking does come with a fee, though it's still considered a good value given the downtown location.

The Bottom Line

The Embassy Inn is a top pick for concert-goers seeking comfort, quiet, and unbeatable access to Victoria’s live music scene — without breaking the bank.

Short but very nice.

Liked: the whole experience was great. Nice king bed room, lots of choice for breakfast and because we were down for medical it was close to the Cancer Clinic. Listening to the horses clop by was a bonus. Also being in walking distance to the Inner Harbour was great.
Disliked: Nothing really. Hoping if we need to stay for medical purposes again there may be a big of a rate decrease. That's all and it's not that we didn't like it.

Highly recommended hotel for families

Liked: The location is amazing. We could walk to all the amenities down town. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The suite was spacious with comfortable beds as well as the pull out couch. Spotlessly clean. We made use of the guest washers and dryers which was so handy $2 per use, laundry detergent available at the check in desk. Breakfast is very convenient, very enjoyable (popular waffle station!) and there is something for everyone. Overall highly recommended.
