Lovely vintage home 4 long blocks from town.

Pros: Location. Location. Architecture. Decor. Friendly, artisticly talented owner.
Elegant continental breakfast.
The room we rented included a private bath a few steps away. Unfortunately, other guests, whose English was inadequate to understand that, occupied our bath. This was not the fault of the owner.

Private room too far from downtown
Posted 14 Jul 2016This b&b is cute and the room I had was well stocked with water, a coffee machine, soaps (no body wash) and robes. The continental breakfast was delicious and the host was very sweet.
My only issue with the place was that the extra blankets in the closet smelled kinda moldy, the fridge also smelled moldy and wasn't cold enough and that the location is further than expected from downtown Victoria.
Other reviews say 10-15 minutes to downtown and I would say more like a 20 minute walk or a bus ride - so just be prepared. The worst part is not the walk though, but where you have to walk past to get there. A homeless shelter meaning lots of homeless people along the whole street. As a solo traveler, it made me feel uncomfortable having to walk to far with my luggage.
Other than that, the accommodations were great with fast wifi, Netflix and a comfortable couch and bed.

Worth it for a short get away; not for long stay
Posted 7 Jul 2016 on HotelsI stayed one night - just passing through.
Breakfast was fresh fruit, fresh baked goods, cereal, yogurt. There were vegetarian and gluten free options.

Gaslight Inn - Could be renamed Glasslight Inn!
Posted 26 Jun 2016 on HotelsGreat and varied continental breakfast with fresh baking as part of the offering. Quiet evenings make for a wonderful sleep.

Nice B n B close to town
Posted 31 Aug 2015
Pros: Clean comfortable.
Location: Not to far out of town. Easy to walk in and explore the sights or go whale watching
Clean and comfortable accommodation with nice breakfast. Little walk into town but we found walking one of the easiest ways to get around. Free parking off the street which was handy

Close to downtown with an at home feeling
Posted 28 Aug 2015
Pros: The feel of the place - older style home, with an elegant feel - a new experience for me.
Cons: More pressure/volume of water in the shower
Location: Close to downtown, within walking distance.
It was my first time in a bed and breakfast, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My check in was late but the owner was very good at making the arrangements for me to check in smoothly even thought she wasn't able to be there. The particular room I was in shared a bathroom with another room which I didn't expect, but worked out fine. The room was clean, comfortable and the older house was quite nice to be in. The breakfast was great - a help yourself kind of buffet, with a good fresh variety of things. Linda - the owner was very personable, kind, and willing to accommodate. I had to leave very early and she left a take home bag of muffins, fruit and water for the trip which was unexpected but great.
