About this place The Magnolia Hotel and Spa

The Magnolia Hotel and Spa is an independent boutique hotel at 623 Courtney Street in downtown Victoria, a block up from the Inner Harbour and close to the Fairmont Empress. It's a mainstream gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. There's a spa in the building, and it sits at the upper end of the downtown price range. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 from about 870 reviews. Government Street shops, the harbour seaplane and ferry terminals and most downtown restaurants are within a few minutes' walk. Victoria's small gay scene is also downtown, so you won't need a car.

The front desk/valet staff are absolutely amazing! They were all so incredibly friendly and welcoming and would even take time out to say hi to my dog, greet her by name, give her pets and treats! I’ve travelled a lot all over Canada and the US with my dog, and this hotel was by far the most dog-friendly and welcoming. Our room was beautiful and quiet, valet was quick. The location is phenomenal. Highly recommend! Fantastic stay!

Had an absolutely lovely weekend at the Magnolia. Everyone was very helpful and very quick to respond to any requests. The room was nice and spacious, and very clean. The lobby had excellent coffee available at any time of day. I know the hotel has very busy this weekend, and filled to capacity. However, the staff consistently made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. We also had a lovely dinner at the Courtney Room, which is attached to the hotel.

Mike “The Valet” Tyson punched our vehicle when I asked him to take his greasy hands off it. On a serious note, this guy Michael should never be allowed possession of any persons belongings let alone cars. If he’s capable of punching my $140,000 truck with me, my wife and our new born sitting in it, imagine how he treats cars when the owners aren’t around. Request a different valet. Response to “Owner” Mike was yelling at me to move the vehicle, ordered me to roll my window down, leaning on my car and shouting in the window. At no point was the vehicle moved “aggressively”. That is a ridiculous lie to protect your own. He stepped back, I released the handbrake, car starting rolling, told him to get his grubby hands off the car and he punched the mirror in anger. Your hotel guest was on my side and saw everything - I never yelled at him either. Another lie from “Owner”. Disgusting behaviour from the hotel.

Have been staying here almost every year for almost 20 years and it always delivers a great time! Such a great locations and the lobby’s flower arrangement are stunning. We borrowed e-bikes to get around, umbrellas when it rained, enjoyed the delicious complimentary spritz and coffee… excellent hotel and we will continue coming back for many more years.
