We have visited Victoria twice in five years (2008 & 2013) and stayed at Helm's Inn both times. We enjoyed both stays. It is clean. It is quiet. It is at most a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal. The price is excellent for the large rooms and suites. Just right for a family of three and would serve... More

5 of us stayed in a one bedroom apartment with 2 queen beds and a crib. It had a kitchen which was functional. The room had its own little entrance and has been renovated. The room was a little dark but we just turned the lights on which was fine. There was quite a bit of storage room for suitcases... More

The staff was so obliging. They had made an error and booked me a single bed when I needed twins but they quickly rectified the situation. Any taxis needed, they got immediatel. The property is so well located- steps from the Royal BC Museum, Empress Hotel, and the waterfront. Clean well made rooms, with a kitchen!!! Greta value- would definitely... More

When my husband and I come to Victoria, this is where we stay. It's the best kept secret in the city. The hotel was recently renovated, so it's much less shabby chic than it used to be. You can get a suite with a kitchenette for an incredibly reasonable price. It's nothing fancy, but it's clean and well kept. There... More

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I guess I didn't really know what to expect. I had lived in Victoria for a bit and had often passed by this hotel on the bus and it never really looked too appealing on the outside. But I was returning to Victoria for the marathon and wanted a place to stay that... More

Stayed here one night, which was for us enough in Victoria, which is nice city but can't be compared to for example Vancouver. Hotel is one of the cheapest (for what you get for sure) in Victoria, but still the quality is very good, compared to a chain motel/hotel. We had a big room with a king and kitchen area... More

I was back in Victoria for business and stayed at the Helms Inn again. They continue to update the room, this time I stayed in the main building so had a queen with a small kitchen on the third floor. Was nice, modern and charater/homey feeling. Very Clean. They have a very unique electronic lock system I have never seen... More

I live in Victoria and this is where I recommend that my visitors stay when they wish to be near downtown and the main attractions and restaurants. It's location is unbeatable - adjacent to the Royal BC Museum and just across the street from Beacon Hill Park. Walk to the Empress Hotel (for High Tea), the Inner Harbour (for the... More

This was my first time visiting Victoria so I had no idea what to expect. It was an excellent location, within walking distance to museum and all other attractions. We had a one bedroom suite with full kitchen and sitting area. It was very very nice. Highly recommend.
