The Admiral Inn is a small, low-key, comfortable hotel, with the ambience of a bed & breakfast, close to the ferry terminals and downtown. Spacious room included beds, sitting area, deck and kitchenette (handy for leftovers from nearby restaurants). Expanded continental breakfast daily in the charming living room off the lobby. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

I recently returned from Victoria, spending four nights with a women's tour group that I organized. The Admiral Inn was very well located on the harbor walking path, across the street from the ferries, and walking distance to everything. Debra and her staff did a wonderful job of making us welcome, comfortable, and they were always happy to give us... More

Stayed only one night in Victoria and this place was fine. It's a little run down but it's absolutely fine. The rooms are huge, we had a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, and two armchairs in a living room space, all for $120!!! The best thing about it is it's location. It's only 3 blocks from the Legislature building in... More

We will certainly return to this lovely little hotel. Within walking distance of eveything you would want to see in the harbour area.

I was surprised when I got there to find that the room was an efficiency. What a pleasant surprise for the price!. Continental breakfast was excellent with the option of bringing it back to your room to toast, eat later. Unit kitchen well stocked. Even made a dinner one night with my son and his girlfriend.

So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I'm sure your son and friend enjoyed a home cooked meal. Being able to watch the downtown activities while away from the actual noise is a bonus we are happy to enjoy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with other TripAdvisor viewers.

Would gladly return to this charming "almost oceanfront" hotel within walking distance of major shopping; the B.C. Museum which is incredible; the IMAX theatre with special films; the harbour and it's ferries, seaplanes, whale-watching zodiacs. And the famous Empress Hotel! Our room was amazingly large with huge windows, and a balcony. The kitchenette was dated, but we had everything we... More

Although in a good downtown location, these units have poorly insulated walls and creaky floors. Bathroom noises travel from suite to suite. Management is not responsive to guest concerns even though they say they will accommodate by "separting" guests if possible - they have not and they do not follow up on queries. Guest separation is possible as the parking... More

A perfect location to tour Victoria and the surrounding area, either by foot, bus, or car. We stayed in early July 2012. The Admiral is an excellent value for price. The staff treated us like friends and not paying guests. The Admiral met our requirements and exceeded our expections.
