This place has become a highlight of its neighbourhood. Beautiful gardens with fountains create a European feel. From my balcony I have a wonderful view of the gardens and the Gorge Waterway. The building is quiet, clean and tranquil. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Victoria while living at the Oxford.

It's is my third stay at the Oxford over the past four years and each time I love the changes that have been made. The management staff continues to be warm and inviting and I am welcomed back to the Oxford family. The new garden and landscaping is fabulous and tranquil. You will love it here.

This hidden gem is a steal of a deal for long term stays in Victoria. The hotel is clean, and so reasonably priced. The beds are fabulous, and the room was clean and comfy. The owner appears to have such pride keeping the hotel clean and welcoming. I'm a sucker for flowers, and when I walked in the lobby I... More

I am a 4th year Uvic student, who has spent the last three years living at the Oxford (September-April). This has been great, because it gave me the flexibility to work out of province during the summer. This place was also perfect for my needs: clean, quite, great place to study; central to downtown, Mayfair Mall, and Uptown Mall; and... More

I highly recommend “The Oxford” I have read the previous reviews and I feel forced to share my experience. For the past 6 month, I was stationed in Victoria. During this stay, my company paid for my furnished standard one bedroom apartment in THE OXFORD. I could not have been more pleased with my accommodations. I really felt at home... More

The "renovated" rooms are nothing like those pictured on their website. No storage, No dining table, No dining chairs, No dressers, No lamps. Kitchens have no upper cabinets, No microwave, No storage to speak of. No workstation, No cabinets in the living room. Furnishings are the cheapest and most uncomfortable IKEA has to offer. Internet was down or too slow... More
