The hosts are very friendly, providing all the information and were very welcoming. They assisted me for cash changing to smaller notes for buses as well, and were very caring asking the renovation to start later to provide minimal disturbance to my sleep. Thank you for the hospitality!

Fantastic location within walking distance of downtown. Lovely historic building!

Quaint inn, in a great neighbourhood for walking and exploring Victoria. Excellent value. Only complaint would be central heating, which meant no control over the temperature in the room.

I love this hotel. Nothing chain-like about it, the space is unique and lovely and the desk clerks are warm and friendly. It's the only place I'll stay when in Victoria.

James Bay in Victoria is a wonderful walking around experience, no rental car needed. And at the centre of our stays is the welcoming and home style experience in this still going strong 120 year old hotel. The attached and very reasonable priced pub, restaurant, and bookable party room with long-serving staff we know well are a key part of it

Beautiful old hotel in the the nicest neighbourhood in the city. Rooms are a bit small compared to larger, newer hotels but this is made up for by charm. Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great being so close and walkable to downtown Victoria without actually being in the downtown! Nice little restaurant as well. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends.

The James Bay Inn is my go-to hotel in Victoria, BC! I absolutely love it! The location got me in the door, and the staff and the way they took care of me and the hotel have kept me coming back for a while now! The Inn and grounds are very clean and always well maintained, the rooms are well appointed, and the team is always right there to help when needed! The location is perfect, only 10 minutes walk from the Inner Harbor and 10 minutes to the Straits of Juan De Fuca! And at night, it is whisper quiet! Love this place!

Such a beautiful historic Inn. Grateful for the warm welcome, and convenient location. Just a few minutes walking distance from the downtown core, and a few minutes the other way for the beautiful coastal boardwalk.

Cute litte hotel in a nice quiet neighborhood. Close enough to walk downtown to restaurants, bars, parliament buildings, etc. The building is an old heritage building, so it's a little dated but charming. Good amenities for the price. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. Free parking is nice as well. There is also a restaurant and pub on site. We will definitely stay here again!

Lovely boutique-style hotel. Large, clean rooms with windows that open. Great reception & staff. Easy to walk to downtown Victoria from.
No elevators, though--so be prepared to carry your bags up several flights of stairs.
3.0
This hotel is such a bargain, especially for how lovely it is! If you are looking for modern and posh this is not your place. If you are looking for clean and comfortable with a very accommodating staff... with antiques and a very interesting history then this place cannot be beat! We will be staying again on our next trip to Victoria! Very convenient to everything!

The James Bay Inn is located a walkable distance from major attractions but is also in a beautiful old residential area. The king sized bed in our room was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The staff is very personable and the dining facilities are great. Good food, attractive retro dining room. It’s obviously popular with the locals as well as inn guests. Great pub to hang out in. Reasonable prices. We’d definitely stay again.

The staff at the James Bay Inn is exceptional. The hotel has a lot of charm and we consider it a home away from home in Victoria. Museums and other attractions are within easy walking distance.

Stayed at James Bay Inn on a return visit for 6 nights, and found it very comfortable. It is a three storey hotel without an elevator. but staff are very quick to help with suitcases if needed. The property is well kept, clean and convenient to the Inner Harbour area of Victoria. The restaurant is very good with good service, and so is the bar, where food items from the restaurant are available after the restaurant itself has closed. If you don't mind the stairs, we recommend it highly.

This hotel is always charming, location is great, lots of room for the price, caring staff. Kitchen stocked with salt and pepper and cooking oil, unusual in a hotel. Be prepared for quirks of an old hotel: no elevator, few and inconveniently placed electric outlets, unpredictable heating, but they provide a space heater; dim lighting in bedroom because sustainability? Anyway 60 watt bulbs, had to take shade off lamp to be able to read. All that said, it’s great and feels like home in James Bay. Plus the pub is in a pleasant 1970s time warp re music and local patrons of a certain age, all friendly and fun plus very good food in pub and restaurant.

I didn’t like the scaffolding outside my window. It made me feel uncomfortable. As well no blinds in the bathroom. The bottom part of the window was frosted but not the top. Although no one could see in at that height, it made me feel vulnerable.

We loved this funky old hotel. But our car was broken into in their parking lot.

Quite strange that the heating on the room couldn't be changed. It was extremely warm on the room and the only way to change this wat to open the room for the night. Not very good for the environment!

I always stay at the JBI whenever I am in Victoria, British Columbia! I always feel like I've just arrived home to be with family. The location, the cozy room, the pub and restaurant, all contribute to it being "a happening".
