Ocean Island Suites  

I'm giving OI Suites a 5 star review because the service, price and location could not be beat. Located amongst the beautiful heritage houses of James Bay, only a couple blocks from Beacon Hill Park, Dallas Road and the beach, a quick 12 minute walk to downtown Victoria and a 10 minute walk from all major bus routes. There is off-street parking for 3 on a first come first serve basis and parking was never an issue. The back yard, deck and garden were beautiful. It's dog friendly and they didn't think twice about taking my 40 kg dog and I for a months stay. Keo and Niko were extremely accommodating and anytime I needed anything, they responded almost immediately and provided it asap. The suite is located in an old heritage house so expect the quirks and slight wear and tear of an older house but that is 100% part of it's charm. My large fully furnished suite was way cheaper and quieter than a tiny hotel room, the bed was super comfortable and clean, check-in was extremely easy and communication was top notch prior to and during my stay. Would not hesitate to stay there again!

Fantastic furnished suite in a historic house. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Everything you would need or want to see! Staff is extremely responsive and friendly. Stay here if you want a hassle free visit in Victoria!

Quite a good place to stay. Appreciated a bunch of things like the claw foot tub, ice in the freezer, and spacious rooms. Kept seeing hair and dust balls in the bedroom. Bent down and looked under the bed. Clearly been too long since that area was properly cleaned. Had a general experience that the suite could have been cleaner (had to wipe the dust off the leather chairs before my friend and I could sit...). Not much of a sound barrier between suites 2 and 3 in the back if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise grateful to have discovered these accommodations.

- They changed the room price. - They tried to charge me for the transfer from the reservation point to the suite (8 minutes by car). - They only speak English.
