Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APA

Great view of the boats and water planes taking off and landing. Very friendly barman

For staff being on strike management did an excellent job

A few pros and cons: Pros: Beautiful hotel & view. Right next to fisherman’s wharf Clean room, comfortable bed, quiet, no issues there at all. Cons: Instead of a $100 refundable hold they charged $1,038. It’s been over 2 weeks since we checked out of the hotel and it’s still pending on my card. I’ve called and was told to just wait. The day we checked into the hotel, their staff went on strike for better working conditions and protested right outside the hotel. I fully support those employees and hated that we had no idea about this before booking there. If it was easy and free to change hotels last minute, I would have. To hotel management & owners: it takes a lot for employees to go on strike, which means they are NOT being treated fairly. The restaurant being closed (was going to have my 40th birthday dinner there), no housekeeping, and only having 1 working elevator is not the fault of the employees, it’s the fault of management not creating an environment where people earn a living wage, have safe working conditions, and feel appreciated. Inconveniencing guests who pay good money with specific expectations is a failure on management. I HOPE management has acknowledged this and met the needs of their hard working employees. If not, management/owners need to step into those positions and role their sleeves up so they get a reminder of what it’s like to do backbreaking work for minimum wage. Coast Victoria staff: keep advocating for yourself 👏🏼

I love it at this location. It was just unfortunate the restaurant was closed because it is a great restaurant. I’m sure it will be open next time I come.

This is in a brilliant location. Close enough to walk to the CBD but away from the busiest area.

Not the fault of the hotel, but there was industrial action during our stay and therefore no services.

Nice hotel in a great location that was walkable to the wharf and downtown Victoria. Rooms were clean and staff was professional and friendly.

Lovely position

We planned to have dinner on the Saturday evening at the hotel but the bar staff and restaurant went on strike that day, which was very bad in our opinion- never seen that before and we’ve stayed in a lot of hotels, we were only there for 2 nights before travelling back to Vancouver so it kind of spoiled it for us as I personally wanted to try the restaurant following all the reviews I read before we travelled from he UK.

Shout out to the GM Stephen who was very helpful during our stay. Would definitely recommend the hotel and will be back on our next trip. Thank you!

Sent in a complaint to the company and have still not heard back anything. Hotel workers were on strike No services, no housekeeping Was not notified prior to the stay that to Reid be no services being completed .
