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.

For us this is a...

Liked: The location is perfect as you can walk to all the tourist destination with ease. Room was very clean and this is one of only a few hotels that have air conditioning. That is a real bonus if you are visiting Victoria during the summer months. They include a really nice buffet breakfast which saves you quite a bit of money if you had to go out for breakfast at a restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: We found the mattress to be on the uncomfortable side. The pillows are lumpy foam and my opinion horrible. This is coming from a guy who has always used down pillows so I can't really make a fair comparison. Next time I will take my own pillow.

Fantastic expirence

Liked: Everything! Very central for walking and all types of transport. Lovely area right by legislative building. Quiet at night. Staff cleaned and checked room daily and replaced food at buffet. Amazing. For the price. Very clean and comfy, big room. And I must mention the waffle maker....loved using that at breakfast. Lots of choice at buffet and all you can eat! We are a couple but it seemed great for families and staff seemed very helpful to them . So glad chose to book had an amazing week.
Disliked: Nothing. I wanted a comfy clean reasonable cost....and I got that and more. The free buffet breakfast was amazing and not offered by any other place at the price in the locality.

Great place spoilt by weak...

Liked: The location was great, room was very good.Front desk staff helpful and the laundry was a big plus
Disliked: The control of children in the buffet breakfast was terrible. I saw a child bite into a piece of watermelon then put it back. The staff saw it and did nothing. Putting huge amounts of food on a plate then leaving it on a random table.Where the duty of care for other patron?
