Oswego Hotel

Easy walk to Downtown Victoria, but just out of the way of the hustle and bustle. Lovely helpful guys on reception, I arrived at 10:30 and asked to store my luggage before I returned my hire car, but my room was ready and I was checked in! It was so nice, too many hotels are too precious about this. I was in no way expecting the room to be ready that early. I had their smallest room, but it was still huge in comparison to most. Decent kitchen, separate bath & shower, dining area and a huge bed. It was light, with windows on two sides, and clean. It has a proper electric kettle as well as a coffee maker, which is great for an addicted English tea drinker! I used the gym once, which is small but perfectly adequate. There is a guest laundry here, which isnt advertised enough. The combination of suite, kitchen, diner and laundry is definitely the way forward for hotels to compete with the short term lets, their additional hotel perks tip them over the edge in my opinion.

This hotel was amazing. I'm sad we could only stay for one day. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a full size fridge and kitchen facilities. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. The location was amazing too, with the harbor, parliament, and Beacon park all within a short walk. Despite all that amazing stuff just outside, we were happy to relax in the hotel: that's how great it was.

Great location, close to downtown. The hotel was very quiet and the suite very clean. All staff were great. The underground parking was very convenient, though it did cost $17 CAD per day. It's two blocks from the ferry, surrounded by a very nice neighborhood.

Our studio room was very clean, comfortable, with a very nice view and balcony. I liked the decor and eco friendly touches like wooden door cards instead of plastic. I am allergic to animals and Oswego is a dog friendly hotel, but the non-pet friendly room they gave us didn’t trigger my allergies! (This was the first time I’ve tried a pet friendly hotel) Location is great- quiet residential streets in charming James Bay, but very close to all the tourist sites. Having secured parking was a bonus. Staff were all very friendly.

We came for the marathon. It was a little pricey for the weekend but it was the Thanksgiving weekend and the marathon was happening so I new things would be a little more expensive. Plus the hotel was so close to the start finish lines. Having a kitchen in the suite was super nice. The pull out bed was fairly comfortable. And the bathroom had a large soaker tub. The hotel is very close to downtown and the area is super walkable. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
