After 10 minutes ran out of hot water in the shower Couldn’t open the blind to get fresh air and look outside we could hear the other guests talking. The room for 2 people was too small, no area for toiletries in the bathroom We liked the age of the house, it was clean

Be prepared for lots of stairs (especially if handling heavy luggage), however the property does give ample warning. Also minimal bathroom countertop space and limited space to put luggage in room. Parking was available, however we did have to park down at the end of the block and around the corner at times, but very doable. The staff was very friendly & accommodating and rooms/property were clean and inviting. It was actually kinda nice to be staying in a residential neighborhood (with a beautiful big castle literally in the backyard).

This was a lovely, unique stay! Room was small but comfortable for a single night, and the bathroom was nicely updated. The building is old, so noise travels easily, but earplugs at night helped prevent being woken up throughout the night. Would recommend this stay for a short-term visit in a beautiful area!

What a lovely, comfortable property! The view of the castle was so lovely and the location was convenient to downtown. Loved the original switches, trim and window coverings. Wasn’t sure if the slippers were recommended (should we have removed our shoes?). Information on breakfast would be helpful to include in the welcome email. Such a lovely stay - thank you!

The most comfortable bed and wonderful Castle view. Would have been great to have an elevator for luggage, but understand that would take away from the historical charm. Would definitely stay again!

Mettā to all who stay at this gem😊🙏

We absolutely loved our stay at The Craigmyle in Victoria! 🌿✨ From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed—especially thanks to Grace, who greeted us with such warmth and kindness. She truly made us feel right at home 💛 The location is perfect—nestled in a quiet, charming neighborhood just steps from Craigdarroch Castle and a lovely walk to downtown. The surrounding area is peaceful, full of trees and history, and ideal for both relaxing and exploring 🏰🚶‍♀️ Our room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. You can tell great care is taken in maintaining the space 🛏️🧼 We also really appreciated the guest kitchen and laundry facilities—super convenient and made our stay feel even more comfortable and easy. Being able to make a cup of tea or do a quick load of laundry made all the difference! 🍵👕✨ Overall, staying at The Craigmyle brought us a real sense of peace and connection. You can feel the care and intention behind this place. Thank you, Grace, for your kindness and hospitality. We left feeling grateful and grounded, this is the truth 🙏 Mettā to all who stay here 💫💖 Highly recommended!

This guest house looks nice on the outside but absolutely lovely inside! We loved our suite looking out at the castle which is right beside the property. The bed was fantastic with tons of pillows. A comfy couch was great for reading and the room made you feel like you were staying in the home of a wealthy aunt, not a hotel. You’re in a quiet neighborhood with other lovely houses. I’ve stayed at the Empress but this will be my first pick for my next trip to Victoria. The value is much better with more room for the money.

Located on a quiet street and next to a historic castle this place was perfect. It had character and historic charm our room had a view of the castle and I felt like I was in a fairytale. The staff was lovely and we got to meet the owner Stephen m! who is wonderful and answers any questions and helps you with anything you need. They have a lovely little breakfast for $10 and make sure that you carve out some time to tour the castle next-door! Cannot wait to return, wonderful stay

This was a very nicely furnished property in the Rockland neighborhood. The only negative about The Craigmyle is that its walls are quite thin and you can hear everyone's coming and goings.

This place is really cute. It is literally in front of the Craigdarroch Castle. This isn't really a hotel, more like a B and B. It has a kitchen you can cook in and washer and dryer you can use from 5-8. There is a lovely sitting room on the first floor. My room looked recently renovated and very comfy. It does have a lot of stairs, so beware if that's an issue for you.
