The employee at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. Was willing to show us the room before we checked in and addressed all our concerns. The rooms were lovely, clean, and modern. Bed was comfortable. We did have to pay for paying and would have been better if included. It was within walking distance to harbor, Imax, park, and restaurants Would definitely stay there again.

Comes with a kitchenette and great location! Staff were friendly and professional. Very clean and modern furnishing in the rooms despite being an old building. The only thing is that the AC is quite loud and blows quite strongly at you, so it might bother light sleepers during the hot summer months

We managed to book one of the few remaining available rooms at Helms. We mentioned a few times while on the ferry that we hope the place is okay. We were definitely surprised and very pleased with location, with our room and with the staff. We will definitely choose this hotel on our next visit.

What a great find! This will be our 'go to' in Victoria. Although an older property, it is well maintained and the units are spacious, comfortable and very clean. The location couldn't be better. Highly recommended
