My husband and I travelled to Victoria on the May long weekend and were originally surprised to find out that the hotel was overbooked and that they had no room at the "Inn" for us. After the initial disappointment - the manager and staff of the Harbour Towers made every effort to make it up to us with a complimentary... More

We traveled to Victoria for just two days and one night; not nearly long enough for this beautiful city. The Harbour Towers was so convenient to the Victoria Clipper. The staff was warm, friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our brief stay and the value was great. We will definitely stay at this hotel again, hopefully longer on our next visit. More

I stayed at Harbour Towers for a few nights while attending a scientific conference that took place in the hotel. The hotel is located a short walk from the harbour and downtown Victoria and just one block from the British Columbia Parliament Buildings. My suite was clean and very spacious with bedroom, living room and balcony, and there was a... More

We were given a suite for our two night stay which had all we could have wanted and more and we also had a balcony from which we had a wonderful view over the harbour. The staff at reception were extremely polite and helpful. On our departure the hotel provided a taxi to take us to the bus station, rather... More

Our family has stayed at Harbour Towers around Christmas time for years. It is a comfortable but slightly older property. The views from 75 percent of the rooms are amazing, Victoria is a beautiful city. The furnishings and televisions are nearly antiques. The beds aren't quite as comfortable as some of the newer hotel mattresses available. It's like being at... More

We stayed at this hotel as it was the host hotel for a sports convention - it is right in downtown Victoria on a quiet street with restaurants, the parliament buildings, etc. The rooms are nice although a bit small. We had a balcony at the back but we could see the cruise ships docked. The hotel is a bit... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite on the 8th floor with a water view. The view was lovely and the location is great- walking distance to many things. It`s a dated room but had what we needed. The bed mattresses were older and not super comfortable but I did like that the duvet is encased by two sheets so... More

We just enjoyed a wonderful four days at the Harbour Towers. Our room offered an excellent view of the Harbour. It was a large room. Very quiet. Food provided at the conference was excellent. however, breakfast service at Vic's was amazingly awful. Our server was totally 'out of it'! Our order was vaguely attended to - poached eggs were ordered... More
