Great place for a two night stay to explore Victoria.
Pros:

Fabulous little boutique hotel with great facilities and close to walks and the harbour.

Cons:

It was a little warm with no access to opening windows but the portable A/C worked well (although a bit noisy)

Decent stay in Victoria
Pros:

The hotel was very clean, conveniently located, and the staff was great.

Cons:

The room was too hot to get comfortable. We knew before booking that there isn't any A/C on the property, but we expected it to be similar to countries in the EU with the large windows that can open fully or tilt to get fresh air in. We had a ceiling fan, a small air conditioning unit, and another portable fan to use.

Pros:

Bis auf ein Detail war alles top!

Cons:

Wir waren zu viert im Zimmer untergebracht. Zwei Reisende schliefen aus dem Schlafsofa. Das war nicht sehr bequem und hat bei jedem umdrehen sehr laute Geräusche gemacht. Das Polster war an Metallfedern befestigt, die gequietscht haben.
