Great location! Smaller boutique hotel which I love. Rooms are spacious, luxurious and peacefully quiet. Would definitely stay there again on next trip to Victoria.

When we arrived, the staff was smoking, and paying 10 euros extra for an unguarded parking space is not neat and customer-oriented. Still a lot to learn there.

Very nice hotel, room was excellent, very large walk in shower. At time of my phone booking I asked about off road parking and told yes behind a barrier, when I booked in only then did they say it cost 10euros, not impressed.
Breakfast was included and even at 8am only the scrambled egg was even slightly warm. Not impressed again. No evening meal service, not mentioned before hand.
So as a school teacher would say in a student's report -.
"Could have done much better".

The hotel is great. Large rooms with large walk in showers. The breakfast is surprisingly up market. An effort was definitely made. Which is not something that can be said about the spa. Opening hours were 1700-2000 and even for that short time you would expect someone to be there. But the ladies that work the spa are mostly gone, facilities are not turned on and shower products and such were not refilled for the entire week we were there. So do visit this hotel, but don't choose this one based solely on the spa.

The magnolia hotel is a very nice place to stay.
The pool area needs more love & attention, no atmosphere & the water was freezing.
Bad smell of sewerage in the bathroom area.
But I would like to return again.

First impressions count, so a delay on check in and finding dirty towels on the balcony meant my expectations were not very high.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

I stayed here for four nights. The service is good I suppose, but no one comes to clean your room at all. (Covid-19 restrictions) they say. Lol. So my stay was just over $1,000. I never saw a Housekeeper. Not once.

They did say due to Covid-19 they would only after a full 3 nights enter your suite. By that time I have so much garbage from recyclables such as pop cans, water etc it was over-flowing.

Then my bill was under the door on my last day. A full sheet asked how much I wanted to Tip Housekeeping. Well they have never ever even entered my room. Not for a single thing. I'm paying

We stay here 8/10 visits to Victoria and it never fails to please...love everything about the hotel. Location is great for eating and shopping plus other tourist stuff. Staff are friendly and helpful and the in house restaurant always pleases.

Book 90 days out and get a price break...you won't be disappointed!!!

We liked a lot about this hotel. It's in a grand location, right next to the overpriced, overblown Empress. The room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, we could too easily hear our neighbors, and the beds were really hard.

Between the lady laughing in the room next to us, the toilet flushing above us, and the people walking around on our ceiling, it was tough to relax at times in the room. For this reason, we wouldn't return.

Also, the beds were concrete. While attempting to sleep, I did a lot of tossing and turning because the arm of

This is a lovely hotel, with spacious, well-appointed rooms, a comfortable lobby, good location, and gracious staff. Unfortunately, it also has extremely thin walls, and apparently is pet-friendly, which normally I would like--except that it has meant we've been listening to multiple dogs scream-barking at the top of their lungs for hours. Meanwhile, we can easily hear the conversations of guests in adjacent rooms. Frankly, I can't believe other reviewers didn't find the noise problems to be a serious issue.

Is everyone in Victoria kind and happy? We just loved every person we met from the moment we arrived at the airport: the taxi driver, tthe hotel staff, the breakfast servers, and total strangers on the street. Everyone, everyone, absolutely EVERYONE was so congenial and helpful. The Magnolia is situated a couple of blocks from the harbor on Courtney Street within walking distance of the major sites. The rooms have a soft décor of grays and white with all the comforts. Complimentary water, apples, coffee, and tea are in the room along with a small refrigerator and a bar sink. Since it was our

This was a lovely hotel with wonderful staff. We were upgraded to a deluxe room, which had a nice view of the Parliament building. The beds were comfortable the the l'occitane bath products were very nice. The Dyson hair dryer was awesome too!
We used the bikes several times, and appreciated the staff who helped us get situated with helmets and appropriate seat heights. When my husband got a flat, Lee Tang who worked the front desk driver her personal car and picked him up. Again, great customer care.
Breakfast each day was wonderful. The continental breakfast that came with our room was more

Amazing experience! My best friend and I wanted a weekend getaway to Victoria. We wanted a boutique luxury hotel and the Magnolia did not disappoint.
We arrived early on a Saturday and we knew our room would not be ready yet, but we wanted to drop our stuff off and valet our car. The front desk and all staff was exceptional. Very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Check in is originally at 4pm. We arrived at 11:30am, our room wasn't ready but they will text us when our room would be. To our surprise we get a text at 12:30pm that our room was ready but we were having lunch. We walked

Wonderful stay. Great location. They gave us an upgrade! How sweet. The room was spacious and quiet. There were slippers and robes. Umbrella, and a reusable bag! What?!

The bathroom was really spacious and had a tub in addition to a shower. They included items for a bubble bath. If I came with my husband, I think I would definitely have used the bubble bath.

I also liked that it was connected to a nice restaurant which we dine at a couple times.

I booked this AMAZING hotel for my first time in Canada and I'm so glad I did!! Every single person at the magnolia hotel & spa made everything so special. I made reservations and special requests for little personal surprise touches to be in our room upon our arrival for my boyfriend's birthday and they really came through!!
We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights and the experience was so great! My boyfriend was so impressed and I couldn't have done it all without the help of the front desk staff. We even got checked in to our room early and our bags were held while they were finishing

Everything about my experience here was top notch. The staff were all highly trained and professional providing everything you needed. The interior design of the hotel and the rooms was exceptional. The staff remembered me by name when I returned back from touring around to inform me they had made the dinner reservation I had requested. And the fact my room was upgraded one level didn't hurt. The hotel was so quiet and relaxing I never heard a sound from the room and rarely even saw other guests. The attached bar restaurant was lovely as well. I just had a glass of wine but the bartender was

Found this hotel on Yelp while researching our recent trip to Victoria. Most of the reviews noted the amazing attentiveness of the staff and great location, with comfortable rooms in a smaller, boutique setting. We were choosing between the iconic Fairmont Empress and the Magnolia, but chose the Magnolia because the beds looked newer and the hotel seemed less likely to have people tromping through it at all hours of the day and night.

They allowed us to store our bags since we got there early and planned on walking around before check-in, and even set us up to text us when our room was ready

Dear Magnolia Hotel,

I travel quite often, in fact, I travel about 1/3 of the year, maybe more. Many a night I spend curled up in a hotel bed, but not many nights are spent as enjoyable as this one was.

Upon my entry to the lobby (early afternoon on November 6th), I was greeted by really charming staff members. They accommodated my request to be checked in early and put me in the best room available. Upon entering the suite I was so excited! There was a fireplace, cozy bed, beautiful linens and a gorgeous window with a wonderful seating area. Everything was truly a step above and this Boutique

If you can get a room with a view, do it! Those views of the government building and the Fairmont are swoon worthy.

The boutique hotel is quite nice, with large, well designed rooms and super comfy beds. The shower is wonderful with nice bath products as well! I love the chocolates and the large carafe of water to keep you hydrated, along with the nespresso machine for a morning zing!

They provide a complimentary continental breakfast which is not awesome. I know, I'm complaining about free breakfast, but it's so weak, why bother. Stale sad pastries from potentially Cotsco, hard boiled
