Close by a few restaurants. A couple km to walk downtown or to waterfront in Oak Bay area. Well priced. Keep in mind no elevators and some rooms are 2 storeys up.

I'll keep it short! Great accommodation and service. And so far, the best breakfast in all of BC!!!

We stayed in two rooms at this place both where fairly dirty, both rooms where at the top of the inn, one looked recently renovated, and was a little better all be it a little quirky, the staff where awesome during our stay, and the breakfast was super solid. Reasons I'm leaving such a low review the inn needs alot of work the front entrence will tell you all you need to know when you arrive, its a work in progress, and the rooms where fairly dirty. I brought my small kid here, and it's not kid friendly atleast at the top of the inn anyway. If your going to stay here book second floor or lower, and keep your expectations on cleaniness low. If your wondering what I mean by dirty, some people have high standards I do not, the room was dusty like extremely so, there was left over goodies from previous tenants on the floor my kid found for us which had peanuts in them, and my kids got a major peanut allergie,

Rachel was amazing host in the morning. However the first eve and night at garden gate wasnt as great. Extensions chords and portable fan made the experience to that of s motel. The toilet had no water to flush in the morning and insulation isnt as great at Garden gate as i woke up to loud noise of water draining. But 5 stars for Rachel!

I have totally forgot to leave a review, but i visited this inn about a year and a month or so ago. It was awesome! I went for my birthday, and it was quite a nice hotel. Cool location, and it was pretty quiet throughout the night, quieter than you would expect next to a pretty busy road! I only stayed for one night, but the bed was very nice, as was the room i stayed in. I went down for breakfast, and there was only one other couple there, so it gave off quite a peaceful atmosphere, but im pretty sure it would of been nice even with more people staying there. The interior decoration was nice, authentic, and in a way, nostalgic. I did get in a view of a different room, and it seems like all the rooms are quite high quality. It looked like some could even have a bit of a view of the castle just up the hill, which is awesome. The breakfast was nice as-well. The vibe was a bite creepy, but i don’t think theres much you can do about that in a old house with very few other guests! Overall an awesome place to stay, and i would recommend to anyone looking for a charming historic inn visiting victoria!
