Nice Getaway for a good price
The place was a cool older manor and the rooms had a great old English feel, nice furniture and the bed was awesome. (JCPenny tags kind of ruined the old feel) but the rooms were very clean. Only complaints were the guy staff members were not very friendly and the internet didnt work all the time. It was very cool to stay there though, the back yard felt like the secret garden, very european. The location was kind of weird, down a residential side street and a little walk to the bus stop, but not bad. Very quick ride downtown. Very well worth the money spent though.

Short walk from hotel
The number 6 bus you catch off of Lampson street towards royal oak is only 2.50 compared to a 15 dollar cab ride. Its only 5 minutes too, if you dont mind a 5 minute walk up the street.

English Inn stay
The manor was beautiful and very clean, but the staff was distant and quite unfriendly. Only the cleaning lady was even somewhat friendly. Our room was lovely, but the bathroom was wierd with a sloped wall that my husband hit his head on. There wasn't anywhere to just sit quietly and read a book. There was two parties booked in the dining room the two nights we stayed and you just felt invasive. Plus the groups were rowdy and of course there is always the child running in a hall above you at 6:00am. I don't think I would recommend English Inn for a quiet stay, but definitely a private event! Last thing... no outside lights turned on 4 days til Christmas.

Three nights in Victoria at the English Inn
Loved the hotel it is beautiful inside and out with hardwood floors and lovely gardens. We stayed on the third floor and it was very spacious. The bed was comfortable and there was a couch and a small refrig and microwave. Light breakfast was provided. Best advise, don't bring a lot of luggage there are no elevators. All and all it was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at.

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
Butchard Gardens are a must. A little expensive but so very beautiful. All of the downtown area is worth exploring, If you don't have a lot of time you should take the tour bus.

quaint
I had the least expensive room in the hotel. While it wasn't huge, (I'm sure it used to be part of a fleet of servants quarters up there on the third floor), it was quaint and full of character. I had everything I needed, including a large screen TV with remote (it would take a bit of adjustment if m ore than 1 person was in the bed because of the angle needed to view). It was a bit warm up there, despite the fan, and thank goodness it wasn't the heat of summer. All in all, I really enjoyed the hotel and room, and staff. Oh, a dining room with food service would have been convenient.

Four star hotel ?
I don't think so. No refill on shampoo, soap, and tissue box. The floor was definitely not vacuumed. Broken shower hose was not fixed even it was brought to receptionist attention. The croissants for breakfast were good though.

Great secluded property close to the city
I could not believe how nice the setting was. We were in a residential neighborhood about 4 miles from Downtown Victoria and it felt like we were in the country. Beautiful trees and gardens and wonderful buildings. I would highly recommend this place.
