Hotel Grand Pacific

This is our second visit to the Hotel Grand Pacific. The harbor view rooms are exceptional, with great views of the Inner Harbour of Victoria. The hotel is directly across the street from the Black Ball Ferry Line, if you are arriving from Port Angeles, WA. The staff are friendly, the hotel is well maintained, and the rooms are inviting. On our most recent trip, we were pleasantly surprised to see that we had been upgraded to the Malahat suite on the 10th floor. The suite has 3 balconies, a dining area, a fireplace, a separate bedroom, and heated bathroom floors. The suite provided the perfect place to unwind after a day of visiting the sights of Victoria. The hotel is within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, sights. If you are looking for a great hotel in the heart of Victoria's Inner Harbour, I would encourage you to book a room here. You will not be disappointed.

Closest Hotel to Clipper terminal. Lovely hotel, beds better than the Empress. Loved the Breakfast at Fathom. Wonderful pool area for kids and adults. Staff were great. Our room was ready early. Clean Balcony.

First for the positives - the hotel is in a great location and perfect for tourists. The rooms are spacious and furnished in old world charm. The meal at Fathom was lovely. The temp control of the room was good. Now for the negatives - Noisy room. I checked into a room initially - 1043 - which is the top floor - but after about 2 hrs and enduring banging and scraping in the ceiling asked for a room change. It was assumed this was lift noise as 3 rooms from the lifts. I was moved almost directly across the corridor to 1036. Exactly the same issue. Banging and knocking constantly in the ceiling space, with the constant sound of the lift all day - it certainly settles somewhat during the night but when it’s in use, you can clearly hear it. Far from relaxing and enough to keep me awake during the night. There was no water provided in the rooms other than tap water which I was told was fine to use. There were also no bathroom amenities, but some were provided on request. We were told that if we skipped housekeeping, that 2 trees would be planted in lieu for each day. As we were here for 3 nights, we opted for housekeeping. Check in is 4pm and we were unable to check in before this time. Would I stay here again? Maybe, if I could be placed somewhere well away from the lifts.

I could not understand some of the negative reviews for this hotel. We found this hotel charming and unique with a wonderful competent staff. Extremely clean and spacious. We had a corner room at the back that was a handicapped room and it was the best handicapped room we have ever stayed in. Very Quiet. The shower set up was a masterfull design. The pool was perfection plus and the elevator went right to the pool so you didn't have to walk thr the lobby as you do in some hotels. Sitting on the balcony was a special treat. Lovely patio, restaurant and lounge area with live music. All six items on their happy hour menu were a taste sensation. Beautiful visuals. A small minor point would be that 5 of the 6 appetizer bites were too small. I would have prefered that they charge more but make them slightly bigger. Sitting in their patio and watching the world go by. Doesn't get any better than that.

Beautiful hotel , lovely room , great location . Thoroughly recommend
