The inn was perfectly located with plenty of onsite parking. Easy walking to the inner harbour and parliament building.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
The room was quite large and had everything we needed for our stay.
Thanks again for a wonderful visit to Victoria!
This is a great boutique type hotel. Very clean, great staff , restaurant was a great breakfast option and a pub on site for that evening drink if you like. Great location to the harbour. Would recommend if you are looking for good value away from the larger hotels
Our family of three had a wonderful experience at James Bay Inn. The staffs are super friendly and even let us check in early when the room was available. Definitely will come back for aother stay.
Our accommodation was wonderful and the staff were very helpful. The location was perfect, James Bay was a great surprise. Would definitely stay again.

Great location to the inner harbour a loads of attractions and shopping. Very quiet part of town late at night. Decent parking for guests.
Loved this stay- a beautiful building and located in a quiet neighbourhood. We could walk everywhere. Large comfortable room overlooking Government Street- loved watching the horse and carriage rides. Great wifi. Handy having the pub and the restaurant on site.
The restaurant and bar were both excellent and offered a good variety of choices. The staff was friendly and efficient.
The hotel was old, but very well upgraded and maintained. We were very comfortable there. The staff gave it an atmosphere of home. The location made it easy to walk to downtown and the lovely nearby park.
