The location was very convenient. The room was clean and well equipped. There wasn’t really any staff, everything needed for check-in was provided by email. The Spinnaker’s restaurant was very good!
Beautiful heritage property, nice sized room within walking distance to downtown. Soaps were local to the island, which was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again. Parking was a bit tight but manageable in a Toyota Tacoma as were were the first vehicle to park. There is additional parking crossed the street.
Great location, comfortable room and the staff were amazing. Very quick to reply with any requests and they went above and beyond to help when I forgot something in the room. Thank you for a great stay!
Quiet Location, short walk to town and on the bike routes. Room was very comfortable. Only complaint was that the fire alarm went off as someone did not follow the advertised instructions for turning on the fan and opening the window when having a shower. Maybe the property could have those instructions communicated even more clearly.
We loved this guesthouse. Check-in was easy - they sent us a door code and we let ourselves in. The room and bathroom were large, the jetted tub was awesome, the bed was comfortable. It was very clean and a wonderful location. There is no bar fridge in the room, but we didn't need one. Highly recommend.

Vintage/antique decor, fireplace and lovely bath with hot tub and proximity to harbour.
Beautiful Character home close to downtown and right beside inner harbour very quiet at night would stay again very good area nice ocean walk to marina by head street or go downtown for some fine dining or shopping
Lovely heritage suite with lovely period features. The bed was comfortable and we were provided with high quality, locally sourced soap, shampoo, lotion, coffee, and tea.
We felt safe and at home here.
It was clean and cozy.
Parking was very convenient, right out the back door of our suite.
The staff was very responsive and helpful too.
We are definitely returning here in future!
Room has character, comfortanle bed/bedding, good towels, unique bath. Price was excellent for summer. Location was good.
Check-in information was confusing, and unclear. Light flashed through the night. Steps into the place are iffy - need to be replaced. Parking limites and tricky
I would book again if I had business in that area.
Staff were so helpful and accommodating. The property had so much charm and very inviting. The bed was comfortable. Had everything I needed. The soaps and coffees were local and added a nice touch.
The Spinnakers Heritage House was an excellent place to stay while visiting Victoria. The room was absolutely lovely. We really enjoyed the local soaps and tea. It is a great location - close enough to walk to downtown and cafes in West Vic. The staff was great and we enjoyed our complimentary truffles and beer flight at the pub. We would love to come back in the future - so sad to hear it will be closing!
Heritage house was quiet and comfortable and quiet. Being an old house, it needs renovations which are currently being looked after. No air conditioner. And no fridge which is inconvenient if you have medication to be kept cool. Overall we enjoyed the stay so close to enjoyable walks close to water. However let it be known that it isn't affiliated with the Spinnaker Brew and Pub anymore, different owner. Parking also very tight.
The information on getting to and into our room was unclear (because of a recent ownership change). Expedia sent us incorrect information on checking in. We were able to make contact with the staff, who were very helpful and friendly with getting us set up. It would also be helpful if the property had a small sign to indicate that it is the correct location.
We had an amazing weekend! Love that the pub was close and we could pop over for dinner or appy’s and a beer. After we checked out we sat on the deck and had lunch while we enjoy the waterfront views!
Thank you so much for everything!
Very beautiful property in a fantastoc location with very helpful staff. Very nice walk to Victoria Harbour (35 minutes brisk and 75 minute leisurely with stops to see all attractions). Good and thoughtful amenities. Building is a heritage site so has some drawbacks like ageing plumbing and bathtub for shower that would be challenging for climbing into a high tub.
