| I was extremely pleased with my stay at Oak Bay Beach Hotel. It was quiet, off the beaten path, but still convenient to everything. It exceeded my expectations. My only complaint was the room was a little warm at night and hard to cool down-and that wasn't that big of a deal to me. I would definitely stay here again.

| This classic tudor hotel is loaded with personal charm. Homemade cookies and hot chocolate by the fireplace in the evening is just one of the special touches that make this smaller, family run hotel unique from the larger hotels in downtown Victoria. We love it and plan to stay there whenever we're in Victoria.

| We loved the warm, cozy atmosphere. It felt like coming home after a day doing the tourist thing. The big fireplace in the lobby was great with coffee and a book early in the morning, looking out at the water. Even more special, the hotel serves cookies and cocoa in front of the fire every night! Comfortable beds with down comforters and nice, deep bathtubs. The continental breakfast is generous. Staff very friendly. We took our teenagers this visit; I'd love to go back with just my husband!

| My wife and I really enjoyed the hotel. It is really a nice place to stay outside of the city. The room, although it was nice, was somewhat dark. The TV remote didn't work well, and it was difficult to use an ironing board in the room because there are few outlets and very little light. The grounds are great, the hospitality is great, and we really enjoyed the place. I recommend it.

| Very quiet and relaxing. Beautiful grounds and garden to the water. Rooms are very comfortable, with the normal hotel amenities, yet have the feel of staying with a good friend. Very cozy! The food was very good as was the service. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The location is close to Victoria yet out of the busy city. A great place to walk, jog or bike as well as kayak. If you're looking for a slower pace to relax and enjoy yourself, while still being close to the city, this is a perfect place to stay.

| The Oak Bay Beach Hotel is beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. I spent the afternoon reading in their garden instead of driving out to Buchart Gardens. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Every room has a distinct personality.
