We stayed at the Robert Porter house in mid march 2012. March is considered low season and a quiet time for tourists. During the slow season, we learned that the rooms could be booked out for weeks or months at a time, with no meals supplied for those clients. We had booked 2 nights through Easy Rez and found them... More

Picked the Robert Porter House mostly for location and it was perfect. Only a block or two to BC Museum and Parliament buildings and Harbor. This property not good if you need an elevator, as there are steps to bedrooms and also parking, which was free in a garage nearby. Was traveling with my husband and a friend, so we... More

We booked the Robert Porter House for a relaxing weekend in Victoria. Our goal was to be able to walk to all the downtown areas. The location is perfect.. but set far enough away from the noise of the city. The house is a charming heritage home. Our room was beautiful, spacious and clean. It has a small private balcony....

We arrived just before dinner and were greeted by Ann, our "hostess with the mostest", who ushered us in and made us feel instantly at home. Our room was wonderfully comfortable and had a private patio. Ann's hospitality, friendliness and meal preparation add tremendously to our rating of 5 stars. We enjoyed our stay and when we left were a... More

We so look forward to staying at Robert Porter House again for another 7 nights this June / July 2011 and seeing one of our favourite people, Anne Schlichter. September 2010 was our 4th trip back to Robert Porter House since 2006. Originally we had stayed there based on the close proximity to the many events Victoria has to offer.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the Robert Porter House. From the moment I first spoke to Ann on the phone to book our stay, I realized that I made the right decision and I hadn't even been there yet. Upon arrival, a warm welcome by a very genuine hostess, in a cozy friendly home, quickly confirms... More

We stayed here for our first night arriving from Seattle on the Clipper. We walked up to the Porter House in about 10 minutes. Ann is an exceptional hostess and our room was very comfortable and immaculate. The breakfast was delicious and you could choose from several selections. I liked having choices and any dietary needs are respected. We walked... More

came for the marathon weekend and was extremely happy that I got a chance to stay at this b&b. Location is phenomenal, the hostess Ann was extremely warm and inviting. She prepared a beautiful post marathon brunch for all participating runners who were staying at the b&b. The rooms are very cozy, clean and the bed was super comfortable! I... More
