Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Strathcona Hotel's central location in downtown Victoria makes it easy to walk to sights, restaurants, and bars. Some guests secured room upgrades and found the rooms spacious, clean, and well-equipped with amenities such as comfortable queen beds and, in some cases, even a microwave. While some have mentioned that the sofa bed mattress could be too thin, the hotel's proximity to everything and its modern, clean suites often make for a convenient and enjoyable stay.
