We found the room very small, especially with 2 large suitcases. Worth bearing in mind if you want room to sit anywhere other than the bed. The bathroom was exceptionally small too.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: All food was excellent
Cons: We went to high Tea and asked the waiter about the location for the gold breakfast. He told us the dinning room. We actually paid for the gold upgrade and didn't remember our location for everything was on the 1st floor. We had breakfast in the main dining room so it actually cost us $150 for breakfast including our upgrade that we didn't use. Perhaps the cost of our breakfast should have been deducted from our bill.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Top location. Expensive as each Top Hotel. Very british with an old jammed bathroom door. Perfect staff, extremely friendly.
Cons: No free WiFi. Really not. It’s standard in each motel. Even, if you know, it is expensive, you’re surprised when checking out. Afternoon tea $82/person, valet parking and breakfast for two $ 750. But it was a nice experience.
6.7 Good
Pros: Location is great and Victoria is beautiful. Clean and have done a good job restoring old buildings. The staff at the hotel was good. The Empress itself is spectaular, the reno not so much.
Cons: We felt the reno was poor. In trying to update it they missed the mark. Should have kept it classy like the other CP hotels and more in keeping with the grand style of the building. They tried to make it too contemporary and did a poor job of the lobby. The round silver columns are awful, as is the sparkly chandelier. Also for $629 per night I we expected the room a little nicer. The couch looked old and shabby, not classy. My pillows went flat and did not retain their shape at all. Plus, Victoria is really lacking in fine dining. It is moderate dining at best. The only place we found that was close to fine dining was the Courtenay Room.

Cons: This is an old building and hasn't had many upgrades. There's no air conditioning, and the one bedroom suites are two floors - the loft was too hot for sleeping, even at end of August when it wasn't too hot out. The shower doesn't work in room 302, the housekeeper seemed to know about it but said there'd been a mix-up with the plumber so it still wasn't fixed. Little things like broken lamps, only one wine glass, hair in the tub... it's a nice building in a great location, but the whole thing needs some love and updates.

Pros: The Chinese housekeeper was not happy that she is a house keeper. If she's not happy with her job she should not work in the hospitality business and complain in the management. SHE WAS THERE TO MAKE SURE ROOM IS CLEAN not to complain room is not clean off course you are using it it will not remain prestige like how you got the room. She's so mean and she should not have this job and if she doesn't wanna do her job. I THINK SHES WANNA SIT IN THE ROOM AND ORETEND SHE CLEAN IT.

7.5 Good
Pros: Good location. Large clean rooms with high ceilings and ample kitchen. Fun brewery on ground floor.
Cons: Grumpy front desk. Did not have room ready when promised. No AC
8.8 Excellent
Pros: The location, the staff and the size of the unit. Very convenient for being a tourist in Victoria. Parking was only $15 extra for in and out privileges and located a block away. Easy. Staff at front desk were friendly and recognized us each time we came through the lobby.
Cons: No A/C in unit and the two bedrooms, located upstairs in our unit, did not have windows. Fans were provided so it was fine - and we knew in advance that there was no air conditioning. Patio was nice to be able to open the door onto, but not one that we would spend any time on. We did need to go downstairs to top up our kitchen supplies for the four of us (only two mugs, two wineglasses, no coffee) but that was not a big deal. They helped us right away.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Swan's is a hotel above a pub/brewery located in a renovated early 20th century building in Victoria, BC. The room we stayed in had a full kitchen including pots, pans, dishes, and silverware.
Cons: It was a little pricy.
Located in Victoria (Downtown Victoria), Swans Brewery, Pub and Hotel is within a 15-minute walk of British Columbia Parliament Building and Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage. Self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.

Pros: The location is ok. Walkable to the bus stop. Free breakfast is not bad: bread, waffle, boiled egg, jam and banana. Large kitchen. Many things to borrow with money deposit Small leaflets fortourist attractions, etc. are practical and great.
Cons: The 6-bed dorm room is very small. Hard to open suitcase. The room is untidy. Clothes of the prior guests? (Or hostel staff? ) are everywhere. The room floor is dirty. Not enough bathrooms and toilets. Only 6 washrooms in 1 floor (for at least 30 people!). And the bathroom and toilet are not separated! The washroom floor is always dirty. I wish there is wash basin in the room. The free dinner is edible but not delicious and has no meat. No air condition in the room. We had to open the window or borrow small fan from the counter. I ended up with few insect bites at my fingers.

Pros: Continental breakfast, centrally located, free glass of wine or glass of beer if booked directly with the hostel rather than going thru a third party website like booking.com
Cons: No paper towels provided in the washrooms on the floors or hand dryers to dry your hands after washing up! What does all the other guests do...not wash their hands!? It sucks when you need to use the washroom in the middle of the night and forget to bring your personal towel!

Pros: Good proximity with all the good places you’d want to visit, the courtyard looks very pretty, staff is courteous. Bedding is comfortable.
Cons: Bathroom was DISGUSTING. We switched rooms two times, and all bathrooms were very poorly cleaned. Hair, food crumbs, shoe prints, clogged sinks, unclean toilet, and so forth. If you book this place, make sure to check your room is properly cleaned, you are paying to get a satisfying and clean room. We all have our cleanliness standards, but when there’s hair even inside the fridge, there’s a lot to worry about. The water conduits are noisy in the courtyard, and sound isolation isn’t the best.

The hotel is attached to several restaurants/ bars/ and a nightclub affiliated with the hotel owners- this made going out convenient (and cheaper as we were not asked to pay cover as hotel guests).
