over-rated and overpriced
Pros:

This is a nice, but vastly overrated and overpriced hotel. It is newish, with comfortable rooms in a good location. Beyond the spa and very weak fitness room, there are none of the amenities one would expect of a five or even four star hotel. We notice big gaps in service and young, undertrained staff - a weakness for a boutique hotel. While the location is good, views are not great. Weak entrance doors to the room and rattle when other guests open theirs. Overall, a good but not nearly excellent hotel

The Magnolia- Exceptional Service and a Perfect Location
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Magnolia Hotel. The location is excellent—right in the middle of downtown Victoria, with great restaurants, shops, the Legislature, and the Empress Hotel all just a short walk away.

The rooms were beautiful, and we really enjoyed the dining, but what stood out most was the staff. Everyone we met—from the front desk and housekeeping to the restaurant—was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They truly made the stay special.

We had such a great time, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Magnolia again. We highly recommend it to friends and family.

Great hotel and service
Pros:

The location is perfect for our purposes; close enough for a walk around the harbour and a short walk to restaurants and the theatre. The property is great, a classic hotel similar in style and quality to Fairmont hotels. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. The staff are attentive and welcoming.

Cons:

Nothing

Great property and service
Pros:

We stay at the Magnolia several times a year when we come to Victoria for concerts or theatre events and it is always a great experience. The property is in a good location but the rooms and service are the best part. We used to stay in a couple of hotels right in the harbour, but the importance of the view doesn’t match the comfort and definitely not the service of the Magnolia.

Magnolia: A Real Treat!
Pros:

The Magnolia is a small boutique hotel that is very close to the waterfront, restaurant and other activities in Victoria. It is lovely, the rooms are great and the beds were scrumptious. Room service bringing ice every day was nice. We had dinner in the restaurant, and it was great. Highly recommend

My Favourite Hotel in the World
Pros:

Outstanding Hotel and Restaurant (The Courtney Room), in fact my favourite in the World hotel. The furnishings and design of hotel room are superb. The staff are exemplary. The atmosphere, music, flowers, design evoke serenity with a great vibe. The location near the Harbour and downtown is excellent.

Op zich goed hotel maar soms veel straatgeluid
Pros:

Centrale locatie
Degelijk hotel, prima kamer

Cons:

Bed was op zich comfortabel maar als partner zich omdraait schudt het hele bed heen en weer

Sommige nachten veel straatgeluid. Feestende mensen tot 3 uur in de nacht. En een doorgaande weg dichtbij met racende motoren en zware trucks en bussen die je wakker kunnen maken. Volgende keer zou ik een andere, rustiger locatie kiezen, aangezien de attracties allemaal op loopafstand van elkaar liggen en heel veel hotels dus ook.

Stop looking …. Stay here!
Pros:

Stop looking at hotels. Just book the Magnolia. I am a true hotel snob and I loved this place. So lovely and comfortable. The bed was super cozy and the pillows were nice and plump. My boyfriend loved the Nespresso coffee maker in the room too. The staff were above amazing! So friendly and helpful.
