Hotel Helm's Inn (Victoria, Canada)

The inn is wonderfully located in downtown Victoria as stated by guests. The Beacon Hill Park is just across the street while Clipper Ferry Dock, Parliament Buildings, and Victoria museums are within walking distance.

Rooms have modern kitchen with dining table and chairs, full sized refrigerator, sink, and microwave. In addition, it is stocked with necessary kitchen items and utensils. Thus, guests were delighted because they could save up and prepare meals inside their rooms instead of eating out.

Clean, comfortable, and homey were the words used by guests to describe the rooms here. The property has been recently renovated so rooms were spotlessly clean with modern furnishings and small patio outside. The bed was very comfortable as well as the sofa.

The absence of lift in this building was an issue to most guests especially to those assigned on the third floor and to those who had mobility issues. It was challenging for them to climb up and down the stairs after a tiring day of touring.

The interior of this place was superb but guests commented that the exterior needed renovation because it looked outdated and bland. Previous guests expressed that this issue could give negative impression to future guests and might possibly shoo them away.

Guests were a bit disappointed because the private parking was not free and very limited. They were charged extra for the parking space, which was always almost full and tight, causing inconvenience to many guests.
