I was out to Victoria and the Island for a business trip and found the Swans because of Tripadvisor. I stayed for 2 nights the week before May long weekend. The good stuff: The suite I had was equipped with a full kitchen, eating bar, king bed, desk, and a small balcony overlooking the street - not the Pandora side.... More

Handy location, easy in-&-out self parking (which we prefer) less than a block away, pub handy for dinner on evening we arrived (& really good beer). Two-level suite with comfortable king bed upstairs & comfortable, spacious area for relaxing downstairs; we didn't spend a lot of time in the suite, but the time we did was enjoyable. More

Stayed for Wedding anniversary, booked studio above the bar, we were given an amazing upgrade to a king suite, still above the bar. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere and balconies! Rock band playing in the bar could be heard clearly until about 1 am, This was not a problem as we were told when booking, and I slept right through... More

The Swans Hotel was in a very convenient location for checking out all of downtown Victoria within walking distance and for catching buses to other areas (Butchart Gardens). The suite was very spacious and clean (& quiet), but we stayed for only a couple nights that we took advantage of the city's fabulous dining options and never even used the... More

There was a pub attached to the hotel, which offered a 15% discount for hotel guests, and they had live music everynight. I thought , this might... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Swans over a very sunny and pleasant March weekend in Victoria. We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in a two floor room with kitchenette, livingroom with fireplace, washroom and outdoor patio on the main floor with a upstairs bedroom with skylight. The rooms had been refurbished and were very tastfully finished. The... More

Due to a reservation mixup on the part of the hotel we were upgrated to the Penthouse Suite, which really was truly awesome. Over 3,000 square feet, multi-level, tons of awesome antiques and artwork, large brick fireplace, private rooftop terrace - obviously a great place to stay if you can afford it, or if you just get super lucky like...

I stay at Swans Hotel in Victoria, BC about once a month for work - it is awesome! The rooms are great, most of the upper floor rooms are two-level, 3rd floors have a loft, really unique and comfortable. Lots of room and table space for working, even small meetings. Fully equiped kitchens are really handy. Some of the electronics/appliances... More
