Magnolia Hotel & Spa

If you have to pick a hotel to stay in Victoria, I would highly recommend the Magnolia Hotel and Spa. If you are extremely picky and hard to please, go there. You will not find anything wrong; in fact you will go away knowing that what you expected should be at all the hotels one stays at during a getaway. Great place and the Courtney restaurant well worth a visit or two during your stay. One thing I can say that I cannot say anywhere else, but the rooms and the beds are probably one of the most comfortable to sleep in and the rooms are so nice, you actually want to stay in them and never leave. Enjoy your next visit - YOU WON'T be Dissapointed.

This hotel is excellent…….location, staff, and the free bike rentals are the cherry on top. I would recommend to anyone who likes to bike and wants to be in the centre of it all. Each staff member we encountered was very friendly and helpful, best service I’ve had at a hotel. The bikes are good quality and they have both electric and regular, there is no time limit so you can enjoy the day without worrying about having to be back at a certain time.

Beautiful hotel in a prime location in Victoria. We debated between the Magnolia and the Empress but glad we chose this one. The room was spacious and beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was a very short walk from the harbor and Government St with several shops and restaurants. The Courtney restaurant was great with a lovely breakfast. In addition, the staff held our bags for several days afterwards while we traveled elsewhere on the island. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Victoria.

I recently had yet another wonderful stay at the Magnolia. Life often takes me to Victoria, and I’ve found staying there is even more pleasurable after discovering this gem of a hotel. In fact I now travel to Victoria more often than is strictly necessary, just to enjoy the Magnolia. The location is perfect: central and within walking distance of attractions, shops and restaurants… yet calm, completely safe and with no street noise. The bathrobes, slippers, soaker tubs, kettles and real milk for local blended tea make it all very homey. But what I enjoy most are the wonderful staff. From the cleaners to the management they are all friendly, capable and helpful. A big shout out to Natalie who works as doorman and front desk…when she’s not piloting helicopters!

Absolutely wonderful 5 night stay! Room and all staff welcoming and helpful. Meals in the Courtney Room were lovely - breakfast and dinner. Well done all around!
