We had a wonderful stay at the Amethyst Inn. Loved the antique furniture, the detailed woodwork and the building design. The breakfasts were the best we've ever had. We had to leave on an early ferry and they even packed us a breakfast to take with us. I would definitely recommend this B&B.

Very disappointed with the service! My husband and I have enjoyed repeated stays at many beautiful B+B's in downtown Victoria but not here. There was a bit of a language barrier and no warmth and hospitality that B+B's are know for. Very cool reception upon arrival. We were handed a paper to fill out, then up 3 flights of stairs to the attic handed […] keys and left without a word. Later I went down 3 flights of stairs to ask for a bar of soap. The owner had a hard time understanding me. She walked to a closet and handed me a tiny bar of soap and said nothing, just a thank you from me. Our room was small but had a nice jetted tub + no shower facilities + the bed was a bit hard. With only 2 other couples at the Inn, we were all housed on the attic leve when there were 10 other large rooms on lower levels. B+B breakfasts are worth raving about but this not. The fruit + yogurt parfait was good, but the muffins were gummy + stuck to the wrapper. They were serving omelet with asparagus + raw tuna + salmon on top! We requested no raw fish and were offered ham instead. It came with a paper thin slice of ham (lunch meat) placed on top. There was no cheese or flavour and it was overcooked being firm and dry. We packed up and left without a goodbye or thanks from anyone. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! Подробнее

Very satisfying in a very beautiful house with excellent service. Fine detail and very clean. Exquisite breakfast all inclusive in a very excellent setting. No air conditioning in room but not a problem for the time of year of our visit. Would love to return.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this cosy little B&B Inn. For the price we paid, everything exceeded our expectation. The room is spotless and everything from the Wi-FI to the Jacuzzi all work without a hitch. The Innkeeper and her assistant are friendly and very helpful. We had a wonderful seafood dinner recommended by them at the near by Marina. The […] breakfast in the morning is very nice with each course served nice and hot individually from the kitchen ( much better than the buffet advertised). We will go back again! Подробнее

Staff was welcoming upon our arrival and for accommodating to requests. Breakfasts were excellent (especially the apricot scones). The older style house had beautiful grounds and our garden room was pleasant, including a large tub for two, television, fridge and free (though somewhat sporadic) wireless Internet). For our last day, we had to leave before […] breakfast was scheduled to be served. We requested a boxed breakfast for our journey. Before going to bed the night before our departure, a delicious breakfast was delivered and placed in our fridge for us. Looking forward to visiting Victoria again and we will definitely be staying here. Подробнее

All staff was very accomodating - including feeding us after breakfast hours, keeping an anniversary cake in the fridge for us, and showing us other rooms that were not occupied. A beautifully refurbished trip back in time! No air conditioning is the only downside I can think of - but that wasn't around in 1865 when this charming mansion was built. […] The Inn our daughter got married at (the reason for our trip) was nice, but this was even nicer! We have picked out the room we want to stay in next time.... Подробнее

Some staff had problems understanding some questions. Just small things, ie. { "Could I have a cup of decaffinated coffee please"? Answer .. We don't have any. Question, " You had decaffinated coffee yesterday morning" Answer ... Oh. Later the decafe was found. } This staff member seemed more interested in where people were from than in looking after […] the tables. A minor point. I guess I'm miserable without morning coffee!! Lack of toilet paper in the room. I did get some when I asked for it. Probably my fault. My wife & I are 'pushing 70'. There was no shower in the room, just a tub. A little awkward getting into & out of the tub. I should have asked prior to booking. Подробнее

Stayed here for 3 nights on our honeymoon in the Carriage House, next to the main building - very private. Beautiful stained-glass window above the bed. The complementary breakfasts were superb: each started with a tasty fruit cup - fresh fruit and berries, yoghurt, granola, and a sprig of mint; then a still-warm homemade muffin or scone; followed by […] an omelet or eggs benedict, deliciously prepared (eg, the omelet had cheese, sauce, fresh arparagus inside, smoked salmon on top). The staff was very courteous and helpful - made good suggestions for things to do, booked excursions, lent us a blanket to watch the fireworks at the Butchart gardens, etc. The main building is gorgeous and wonderfully restored/maintained. A perfect place to sip your complementary tea or sherry. Подробнее

It was very comfortable and staff was awesome. Breakfast simply lovely. Well located for number 11 bus into Victoria in a dash. Quality of service was best I've had anywhere.

I have never felt so pampered in my whole life. The breakfasts were amazing and we actually looked forward to them every day. Beautiful Fabulous staff (thanks Ruth). Can't wait to go back!!!!!!

It's a nice B+B. Good breakfast, nice rooms and in a nice neighborhood. But if you are interested in a conversation with the owners, go somewhere else as their English is not very good.

Excellent old home that has been renovated to a lovely bed and breakfast. Super Victorian furnishings throughout. Outstanding though very large breakfast. We'll be staying there again

Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia

Elegantly restored Victorian with gorgeous rooms in the Victorian style. Our room was beautifully decorated with very comfortable queen bed and period furniture. Full breakfast was excellent and well presented - hosts were gracious and very helpful. Easy 10 minute access to Victoria Inner Harbor via car or bus. Located at the edge of Regents Park with […] many lovely homes and gardens. The only thing that would have made it better would be a location walkable to the harbor, but that would have been a much higher cost. We were very pleased with our choice - excellent value.

the breakfasts were uncomfortable. they didnt set enough tables so we had to walk into an awkward situation and sit at a table with people we didn't know. we were on a honeymoon so we would have preferred our own table. in my room i could hear the people beside us clear as day. another thing you dont want on your honeymoon.on the last night we wanted […] to watch movies together, but the dvd player was broken we had one person in there who didnt know what she was doing she brought someone else in he didnt know what he was doing, then they called someone who couldnt really help them, all speaking a language we didnt understand. we finally just asked them to leave.

we were lucky enough to find the amethyst inn online-- we were amazed at the inn from our first moments there to our last. friendly staff, goregous rooms, fabulous breakfast served to you in the beautiful dining room.. a step back in time not only with the surroundings but to when service was not just a word. cannot wait to go back there next year. […] this is a must stay for tourists or even victoria residents who need a night away to be pampered.

I just spent 5 nights at the Amethyst and I had a great time. This house really feels like being in a museum. Beyond being in a beautiful location, what differentiate this B&B from others is the superb customer service. The staff is always attentive, trying to make your stay more enjoyable. One day, I couldn't stay for breakfast so they offered me a […] small lunch box instead ... I really didn't expect it. Location wise, it's about 30min walk to the harbour or 5min drive. Free parking on site and free internet as well. Подробнее

The Amethyst is a really lovely place to stay, with its old fashioned atmosphere. It would be perfect if not for its location. It’s slightly far from downtown Victoria, but if you are willing to walk for 20 minutes - not much in the end - you can get there by feet. Otherwise, the bus stop is near and the time schedule convenient. On the upper hand, […] you are walking distance for the Blithly Bistro, a simply delicious, owner operated restaurant in Oak Bay.

It was a lovely departure from a standard chain hotel. the rooms were a lovely peak in to era long gone, with all the amenities of the present. The host was lovely and extremely helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delic! The only minor comment is you should have a car with you if staying there. Downtown Victoria is a bit away. You can take a bus, […] but a tad bit inconvenient.

The Amethyst is an old wooden building with a wonderful period interior: wood panelling, fantastic double staircase, large bedrooms, furniture in keeping with the decor. The owners obviously have a love affair with this wonderful building. Nice garden to sit in in good weather. Tea/coffee permanantly available in the lounge, along with sherry and home […] baked cookies. The highlight was the breakfast. Personal, attentive service. Huge fresh fruit cocktails to start. Freshly baked scones and muffins. Canadian bacon and scotch pancakes. French toast and smoked salmon. Different menu every day. Fantastic. Only down side was that it was quite a way out of the centre of Victoria, but the bus stopped right outside and was cheap and frequent. House was within walking distance of Craigdarrock Castle, a must see in Victoria. Also close to lots of antique shops. Подробнее

This bed and breakfast has the best staff I have ever encountered on a trip; very personal attention. The hotel is run by a family and they are very anxious to do whatever they can to make your stay in Victoria a happy one. The hotel itself is beautiful with beautiful period furnishings - it is clean and comfortable. The two smallest rooms are pretty […] small but still comfortable. The larger rooms are gorgeous!! And the breakfast!! They serve a wonderful breakfast - the food is delicious and and the presentation is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Подробнее

I absolutely loved my stay at the Amethyst Inn. It was the first time I was traveling solo and everything about the inn gave me a sense of comfort. Wonderful room. wonderful jacuzzi soaking tub, the best breakfast ever, and the the owners and family are amazingly kind. I felt so well taken care of by everything they did. I still want to corn cakes recipe--- […] everyone at breakfast loved them. The house is charming and the inn keepers Abel and Shelly are amazing at making you feel welcome. Jenny their daughter shares her amazing knowledge of Victoria and even where to eat the best ice cream. I never had a B&B stay anywhere as lovely as the Amethyst Inn! Подробнее

We thoroughly enjoyed the spotless room and its full bath that included a hand held shower. The room featured a comfortable king canopy bed and beautiful antique pieces. We also enjoyed the room’s modern amenities such as a 50” flat screen TV, refrigerator, and free WiFi. We especially enjoyed the following: the Victorian character of the house, the […] grand sitting room as a common area, and the free parking within a gated secure area. The Inn’s location was ideal and provided a short 5 minute drive to Victoria’s waterfront area and to our surprise was also a great launch point for a stroll. We took a delightful short walking tour from the Inn through the upscale Regents Park neighborhood and enjoyed viewing the picturesque homes and grounds of the Lt Governor’s mansion as well as visiting the Craigdarroch castle. The Inn served two different and delicious breakfasts. The hosts are a family that provided warm and gracious hospitality, especially their daughter. They provided many valuable recommendations to enrich our visit. We fully enjoyed the Amethyst Inn and would stay there again. Подробнее

I felt I was welcomed as if I were a friend at the Amethyst Inn at Regents Park. My hosts were friendly, always willing to help/ give directions or leave me to myself when I wanted that. The building and decor were magnificent, particularly in the breakfast room. I felt I was experiencing life in an era long gone. I really valued seeing inside the houses […] in this area of Victoria. Breakfast was superb, I particularly enjoyed the fresh baked muffins and scones. In fact the cheese scones were the best I have ever tasted. Thank you! Подробнее

We stayed five nights in the upstairs room in the carriage house and enjoyed our stay very much. Shelley and Abel were great hosts and provided lots of useful information about the area. The location suited us because we only spent one full day in downtown Victoria, and Craigdarroch Castle and the art gallery are nearby. Also, there is a frequent bus […] service into downtown from outside the inn. We liked the breakfasts very much, something different each day prepared to a high standard. We spent our last evening watching an hilarious farce at the Langham Court Theatre which is only a few minutes away. Подробнее

The hype was true, Amethyst Inn was truly a most satisfying bed and breakfast experience. The service was sincere and spot-on, the breakfast was three courses of YUM with hot beverages served on fine china, the hotel common areas of the hotel were sparkling clean even for a 125 year old house, our room was nice with a beautiful bathroom with a custom […] bathtub, and yes they have free Wi-Fi internet. Abel and Shelley were very friendly hosts and had plenty of information about Victoria and Vancouver Island. We wish them all the best! Подробнее

Great atmosphere, great staff (especially Jenny), terrific breakfast - all-around super experience! Would go back again and would recommend this establishment to one and all.

The Inn is currently family owned, very friendly and welcoming. Owner Abel & daughter Jennifer served breakfast attentively while Mom Shelly cooked delicious breakfasts each morning. Jennifer helped us navigate on the city buses (remember to thank your driver when deboarding, the Canadian way!) We met & conversed with other guests each morning (we were […] the only Americans staying there). If you enjoy this kind of experience, you will love the Amethyst Inn! The Terrace rooms are in a building next to the house, small but cozy, price was attractive for the experience we were looking for. Подробнее

Ein spannendes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel in britischem Stil. Dieses Hotel verbindet Stil mit Freundlichkeit und ist eine Oase in Victoria. Etwas ausserhalb, jedoch dennoch gut erreichbar zum Zentrum, gelegen. Der Service insbesondere das Frühstück sind sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben unseren 3tägigen Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
