Top South Oak Bay Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and great staff!"

Sandman Hotel Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was pretty good except the fact that they didn't prepare the room for 3 people as per our reservation. I had to request towels, cups, robe etc for our 3rd person and take it from the reception because they didn't have any staff available to bring it to the room. They have a large pool and a hot tub which were very nice to use. It would help if they had more seating around the pool. They only had a 2 seat bench which several of us had to share. Overall it was a very good stay, I would recommend this hotel, and I would come again. Parking was free (included in price), which is always nice to have."
