Comfy stay in the heart of downtown Victoria
Pros:

Great location, spacious suites at affordable prices

Cons:

Some may not like it’s rather dated charm and the lack of a good tie in with the pub was a missed opportunity

Waste of money.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The brewery pub was closed on the first night for a private event.
The room was right above a venue that had loud music until 12 midnight.
The parking lot recommended was in an area
with homeless people openly doing drugs.

Excellent location. Spacious, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing room
Pros:

Excellent location. Right in the heart of Victoria downtown and I was able to walk everywhere. The room was spacious and clean, bed was comfortable. The pub right downstairs seems lively but I didn't get a chance to try it out.

Cons:

Elevator was down while I was there. Carrying my bike up the narrow stairs wasn't too pleasant, but that seems like a pretty rare thing to happen. They did give me a heads up a couple days before I came so I did appreciate that.

Perfect verblijf. Lift was stuk, maar daar had men een oplossing voor gevonden.
Pros:

De ruimte was fantastisch, de inrichting sfeervol

Cons:

Het is jammer dat de inchecktijd niet aansluit op de ferrytijd; we moesten 4 uur wachten voordat we in onze kamer konden en daar was niets aan te doen.

Pros:

From the girls on reception, the cleaner and pub staff everyone was so friendly and helpful.
The room was spacious, the kitchette was handy
We stayed in a hostel for a couple of nights up tbe road..... wish we knew about Swan's beforehand. Would of skip the hostel and came straight here.
Amazing.

Cons:

Not having the elevator working.
However they did inform us, being 2 old girls who had had enough of lugging bags around, so we were able to pack a small bag and leave our big bags downstairs which worked a treat.

Could have been better.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

No working lift for the entire stay.

Staff, on arrival staff were not accommodating. Via email I requested early check in, however this was not available. After a walk we return to the lobby and waited…. After 1.5 hours we asked for an update to find out our room had been ready all the time. This was totally disappointing as we were exhausted from international travel.
The staff member did not care.

Comfortable stay in an historic building not far from Chinatown and Victoria harbor
Pros:

Very large spacious room within walking distance to the harbor, Chinatown and other sights in Victoria. Check in process was easy. The bed was very comfortable and everything in the bathroom worked properly. We didn't use the kitchen, but it looked like it was stocked well for someone to make a simple meal or snack.

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great!
