Fairmont in Gulf Islands from NZ$577

"My parents had always stayed at Royal Scot whenever they were visiting Victoria and they had nothing but wonderful things to say about it. This was my first stay here but it definitely won’t be my last! The staff are friendly and professional, the rooms are clean and spacious, comfy beds, quiet building and close to everything. Thanks! "

"This is an excellent dog-friendly hotel."

"A welcome rest for three days after working our way down from Campbell River. The hotel is in a great location and has plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. We did not eat at the hotel as we wanted simple fayre in the morning and search out different cuisines via Trip Advisor. We had a two Queen bed room on the 2nd floor overlooking the ferry harbour area. Although the room was very good, after three days we found the beds a bit too hard and left with aches in our backs. Having two queen beds in the room did make it a bit roomy. Overall, a very good stay and we really enjoyed our visit. Thank you Grand Pacific."

"Excellent stay in family suite. Perfect for a family of 4. A bit dated but very clean and comfortable. Great location with short walk to the Inner Harbour and Fisherman's Wharf."

"The employee named santosh was outstanding. Very clear. Deserved 10 stars. Manager from sri lanka was very nice. Thanks"

"The Fairmont Empress is a five star hotel. The staff are amazing, the area is amazing, the hotel itself is impressive. Do yourself a favour and spend a couple nights. Be sure to attend High Tea. "

"Very helpful and friendly staff. Older hotel but clean and comfortable. A bit worn in places - carpets and woodwork. "

"First, when I was checking in, they upgraded me to a better room- what a lovely surprise! The room was very nice, and the view was nice too. They made sure we understood how to access the parking area, and showed us some areas in Victoria that I was interested in on the map. If I had one small issue, it was that their pillows are very big and dense- not something I am used to- I likely should've asked if they had softer ones available. Everything else was FABULOUS!"

"Lovely check in and check out clerks. Pool looks great, kitchenette was clean and stocked with plates and utensils. I do wish there were kitchen towels available to dry the dishes or a dish rack, but thats only minor. We stayed one night and i would definately recommend it again. The area around has a few different options for eating, a&w, subway, pizza, chinese food and its about a 15 minute walk to the mall plaza which has loads of food and coffee options. Gas station right across the road although very expensive. Overall i would definately recommend this place! "
