Take a pass on this one.

We arrived on a Sunday evening and stayed until Thursday morning. Even though we had the please ‘refresh’ the room sign on the door, it was never done. We tried calling housekeeping as well as the front desk about it but no answer. Ran out of TP and finally got someone to bring that. The water pressure in the shower is NONEXISTENT! I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I know it’s BC but it does get hot in the room because the afternoon sun shines in. One of the days it got in the mid 80s. No AC, just a fan that blows hot air around.

A great accommodation choice in Victoria

The location and parking were excellent for interests and activities. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. It was more like an apartment than a typical hotel room. We recommend The Oswego Hotel and, if the opportunity arises, would stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Oswego. It is in a great location around the Inner Harbour and very walkable. The location is just off the main road but feels like you are in a neighborhood setting. The rooms are nice and large and the staff were very helpful. Outside of going to the gardens, we had no car and walked everywhere. Would recommend this location for a stay in Victoria!
