Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Coming from the Gulf Islands my husband and I have been to The Magnolia Hotel and Spa frequently over the last few months for pleasure and medical appointments. The hotel staff are all extremely helpful and friendly. From the valet and front desk staff to the housekeepers and restaurant staff everyone made out trips comfortable and relaxing. A special shout out to Mackenzie in the dining room who always smiling and friendly.

Hotel's Favourite
This boutique hotel is right in the heart of downtown Victoria. It's a short walk to nearly everything you need. I had direct contact with the hotel prior to the stay as it was our anniversary. All of my dealings with the staff were professional, polite and prompt. They were able to arrange for flowers to be in the room on fairly short notice and were accomodating with having us arrive early to park our car at the hotel prior to check in. They contacted me via phone to let us know our room was ready early and also gave us an upgraded room. The room was perfect for a couple, had lots of comforable seating to relax in and all amenities you'd expect in the room including a Nespresso machine and bottled water when you arrived. The bathroom had an exceptional deep bath and separate stand up shower and my wife pointed out that all the bath supplies were of top quality. Be aware that parking is only by valet and was $30/night. This wasn't overpriced for the area but if you need to go in and out a lot with your vehicle it may be a bit inconvenient. I'd recommend leaving the car at the hotel and getting everywhere you can on foot. The price of this hotel is on the higher end of the area but not out of line compared to others, and the service and property delivered.

The Magnolia Hotel And Spa emerges as a pristine oasis in the heart of the city, with guests lauding its immaculate rooms and central location close to major attractions and dining. The luxurious amenities and elegant atmosphere of the hotel receive consistent praise, as does the exceptional service from a friendly and professional staff. A special thank you to Ben for ensuring a flawless stay. While the Nespresso-equipped rooms and complimentary breakfast are popular perks, some guests mention the cost of parking and dining on-site as minor drawbacks.

The Magnolia always provides a world class experience with friendly, knowledgable staff and incredible amenities. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Chef Brian at THE Courtney Room delivers some of the most exquisite dining experiences imaginable. The lentil fritters, mushroom pasta, radicchio salad... I could go on and on. And don't hold back when it comes to dessert. Every item on this menu is worth savoring. The wine list is incredible, and every time I have asked for a pairing with my meal, I have been delighted by the offering. And don't forget to book a spa appointment well ahead of time. You don't want to miss out on the relaxation and rejuvination it offers.

We have stayed here many times and the Magnolia is always lovely, impeccably clean, and has wonderful, kind, helpful staff. The recent bathrooms renovations are gorgeous - so clean and modern. The Dyson hairdryers are amazing. And the in-room nespresso is a fabulous addition.

Fantastic hotel! All of the accolades are well earned. It was in a very convenient location and what a treat on a rainy day to have hot apple cider at check in. The room and amenities were excellent and I slept soundly, which is not common when I travel.

A luxury stay in Victoria is always a tough call. Many quality properties including the Magnolia and the Fairmont Empress. I chose the Magnolia and am very glad I did. A winter stay with a fireplace in the room, wonderful food service in-room and at the Courtney Room, and associates that were efficient and friendly. The clear choice.

My husband and I love to be tourists in our own town and have tried a number of the top hotels in Victoria. After ‘winning’ a silent auction gift certificate, we had the pleasure of staying at the Magnolia Hotel this past Saturday…..WOW! Truly fantastic hotel. Positives: -The staff was lovely -The hotel is luxurious and very clean. Our room was spotless. -High end bathroom supplies -There is attention to detail that I have not often experienced at other hotels (e.g., ice in the bucket at ‘turn down’ service). -Served a glass of bubbly in the lobby as we returned from our afternoon out on the town -Love the fact that this boutique hotel is working towards being more environmentally friendly…they have glass water bottles instead of plastic -The hotel is perfectly located downtown….walking distance to everything -We had a spectacular meal at The Courtney Room restaurant in the hotel Negatives: Nothing! We will be back :)

The service, staff, location and amenities are excellent but noise from the street is very audible. Rooms need more external sound proofing. The street noise is the only negative I have for this hotel.
