A fine stay. Bring earplugs as the garbage trucks are banging about at 6 am! The hotel gave me a gift card for $20 for my birthday! Thanks! Had a nice steak and shrimp at the hotel’s restaurant. Tasty! Hard bed.

A great location near lots of sites!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Strathcona Hotel. It was conveniently located close to many places we could walk to- downtown shopping and restaurants, Murchie’s and Munro Books, the harbor and the Royal BC Museum. We parked in the hotel parking lot, 1/2 block away that was really convenient. Our room had a king sized bed, a sofa, microwave and small fridge. It was great place to come back to each evening to relax. People working at the desk were very friendly and helpful. A big shoutout to Nathalie for having our room ready early. We stopped to drop off our luggage early, and were thrilled to find out we could check in early.

In the center of it all, walkable and close to everywhere. Directly above the best dive bar in town, Big Bad John’s. And next door to the library! Very friendly and helpful staff, quick and easy check in.

It's a nice central location, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. What I found problematic was that I booked a room that said it was for 4 to 6 people, but then at check in they made me pay extra for every person over two people. Then when we got to the room, there were only two towels in the bathroom.
