Terrible

Whole Hotel without air condition, refrigerator, old TV sets, few TV channels, Bar on ground floor, life band and drunkers dancing and shouting on the street at night. You need a map to reach the pay parking lot. Terrible.

“Incredible.
April 15, 2012

My girlfriend and I stayed here and we were accommodated by Joshua at the front desk who allowed us to check in at 11am when we arrived from the Victoria Clipper coming from Seattle.
This hotel is adjacent to everything in downtown Victoria which made the value that much better. Our room had an incredible view of the harbor as well as the beautiful sunsets over Victoria. The value of this hotel... more

I had actually hesitated to book the Executive House Hotel because the price on Expedia was so low, but I was glad I did!

June 16, 2010

When we checked in there seemed to be a problem with the booking which was sorted out quickly and as a result we were offered a 2 room suite. Breakfast was extra, about £10 for full breakfast, but worth it. Staff very polite and friendly. Rooms were clean and quite elegant. Hotel was booked through Expedia at £88/night.
