This was a gift from my daughter for staying with her for two weeks after the baby was born (c-section) and her husband was away, playing nanny to the 3 year old, chief cook and bottle washer - it was meant to be a relaxing getaway... and that's exactly what it was! The room was stunning! Had everything I needed... More

We stayed one night in May 2013. Good location, close to downtown. The room was spotless and well equipped. It had a microwave, fridge, stovetop, dishwasher and utensils. We had a view from our balcony and enjoyed having coffee there in the morning. Our room service breakfast arrived on time. The staff were efficient. The underground parking was handy (it... More

Stayed here for two days in Victoria. Near perfect location just a block from James Bay -- quick walk to the Bay, great restaurants, museum and shopping. Surcharge for parking in the garage, but makes parking easy. The one bedroom suite is very comfortable with two doors opening to a balcony (access from both the bedroom and the living room).... More

The Oswego hotel was a fantastic way to begin our relocation from Vancouver to Victoria. Our one bedroom suite felt like a home yet with the convenience of a hotel. The hotel is new and nicely appointed. And our dogs liked it too. Things they can work: better internet connection as it times out too often, air conditioning, wall mounted... More

I booked a one bedroom premium suite, hoping to get a room with a lovely view. We were celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. Although we live in Victoria, we wanted to experience the best that Victoria has to offer and not have to worry about driving home after our evening out on the town. On check-in, we were advised that... More

We had the good fortune to stay at the Oswego hotel in Victoria last weekend. We were in a junior suite this time (have stayed in the one bedroom suites as well).

One bedroom suites are perfect for extended stays. I have stayed at the property often on business as well as leisure and in this property works well for both. Staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable. Dog friendly and close to downtown, it's a great spot.

We stayed in a one-bedroom suite at the Oswego Hotel for three nights. It felt like home away from home. We had a corner suite with lots of east and south-facing windows. There was some street-noise, but I wasn't too disturbed by it, which is saying something because I am a very light sleeper. The whole hotel was clean and... More
