This hotel really wasn't bad, just a bit disappointing because it could have been so much more! We were tipped off when we entered what must have once been a grand sort of lobby...half of it had been turned into an starbucks-esque espresso shop, and in a ruthless and architecturally insensitive way. The elevator felt cramped and cheap and dingy.... more

I loved room 24 from the moment I entered; deep set windows with plants as in France, books on the shelf, two sinks and a large shower with two shower heads. There was adequate light provided by a large chandelier above the desk and adequate electrical receptacles. Good location downtown both in terms of proximity to businesses and pleasant surroundings.... more

I was very apprehensive because I had read such negative reviews, but I was very pleasantly surprised by my stay there. The room was comfortable and the location was superb. more

I was surprised to see that this hotel was under construction! The Staff were wearing winter jackets inside!! The was no "manager" on duty for the weekend, the elevators are old, the rooms are shabby with no views, no parking and I saw the cleaning staff dump a pail of dirty water out the front door right onto the street!!!! more

My mom and I have been taking yearly girls trips to Victoria since I was a baby, and when I was 16 we discovered the Bedford. (I am 24 now) We LOVE this hotel, and always stay here! It's right in the heart of everything! You are within walking distance of wonderful shopping, and restaurants, China town, Market square, the... more

Fantastic location, you can't really get better than this place. While there I stayed in a nice large room towards the back of the hotel, with all the usual facilities and a free paper each morning. It isn't the most up-to-date place but not shabby either. Had a good time and would return happily, very quiet during my 3 night... more

I picked this hotel for it's location and affordability. But when I called, the rooms I wanted weren't available so I was upgraded to an executive room for the price of a superior room (I was aiming for a $89/night room, but ended up booking a $145/night room). The good points: The location was absolutely great. In the heart of... more

My husbands professional organization was holding a conference in this hotel..so we booked our room there as well. The staff on the telephone seemed friendly but conversation was difficult in the extreme as their English was very poor and hard to understand. Upon arrival the outside of the hotel was very convenient and attractive, and the room was large and... more

We stayed here before several years ago and liked the location and the quaint feel but the noise outside kept us awake. We thought maybe it would be better this time. The bar music woke me up at 2:45 and didn't stop till 4am. But that was saturday night and last night(sunday) it was quiet. I am writing this from... more
