8/10 Very good

Nice option in walking distance to everything

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Didn’t realize about the dress code until we received an email, but it wasn’t a problem as we didn’t plan to use facilities beyond entering/exiting the hotel. Has a lot of charm to it and is in the perfect location in Victoria near the Harbour. Note: if you have mobility issues: it looks like after a few months, the elevator is still not functioning. If you are coming during warmer days, note that there isn’t air conditioning so can get quite uncomfortable overnight, but they did add a fan to the room. Overall a very nice stay!

Union club is not just the name, they are actually a club. In the property details they said they have on site parking but when we got there they said on site parking is for club members only.. so we had to park 2 blocks away. Then they said to use the club amenities you need to follow club’s dress code, we travel with a carry on, how do you expect me to bring 3 shoes to accommodate your dress code. And no elevator… they send us an emails 2 days before or stay that there is no elevator. On top of all these no AC.

6/10 Good

This is a super location for exploring Victoria. The room was spacious and had a lovely bathroom. The hotel is not really a hotel as we would know it. No air con. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. This is step access ONLY. Many stairs and no working elevator. The poor staff had to call for anyone to help with luggage. They also operate a before 11.00pm curfew which meant we had to make sure we returned before 11.00pm as we did not have a Canadian phone to call for access. We did enjoy our time here but this is a hotel which needs to compete with others around offering the 4* service one would expect for the price.
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, charming old world true club atmosphere. Unfortunately there is only one elevator that has been out of service for quite awhile and not noted at time of reservation and no follow up notification sent to me. My current mobility issue requires use of a walker. Had to leave the walker at the lobby and use the stairs to get to the room. Check to see if they have the elevator functioning before making a booking.

Wonderful old building with interesting rooms and outdoor patio. Breakfast was reasonably priced and delicious. Service was exceptional. Great location!
Tracey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The library and reading room were fantastic, and the great place to relax. It would have been nice if they told us the elevator was out of order, especially being on the third floor. Also the dress code was a bit much and they didn't tell us about it until we checked in.

Bad service. Crappy room. Colonist crumble.

Unadvertised dress code makes one feel unwelcome.

6/10 Good

The location is great, but the property is old with limited ameneties in the room. Also, dress code is draconian, and while it sounds ok, my leggings were acceptable but my non frayed lighter color jeans weren't. I wouldn't have minded if this were a 5 star hotel, but it isn't.
