A Gem!!!
This was a hidden gem!!! Spacious room, fabulous bed, a kitchenette - which was important as we are on a restricted diet - and cute. It was a wonderful find. Just note - not suitable for people needing accessibility - you have to walk up stairs and there is no elevator. Otherwise perfect!! Would stay there again.

Short But Wonderful Stay
The accommodations were lovely - our suite had a bedroom, great sitting area as well as a well equipped kitchen area. It was incredible clean and quite pretty. The location is excellent in downtown Victoria but tucked away in a cosy neighbourhood

I would highly recommend Helms Inn, the staff, the location, the rooms are all fantastic. The only drawback would be the road noise as it is located across from Beacon Hill Park.

Great room with kitchen, comfy beds and lots of space. Parking was limited and we had to get a special permit for the overflow lot.

Staff was great very friendly and helpful. Location was great. However property has no elevator so we had to carry our bags up 3 flights of stairs. No issue for us but for older seniors maybe a problem. We stayed in a King Suite. Had a kitchen with fridge and stove.Kitchen supplies could have been better. No spatula, Very dull knives, no knife sharper, Couple of other kitchen supplies missing. Trim around micowave missing. All minor things. Beacon Hill park kitty corner to Hotel. Museum just around the corner. Everything else very close walk. Hotel is on 2 main roads so can be noisy. Free coffee on lobby a nice touch. Overall we enjoy our stay. Need a little love to repair the minor issues in the room. The service and staff made up for the minor issues.

Floors are not sound proof. Late night and early mornings, We could hear stomping and pacing back and forth from the rooms above. It’s very unfortunate when you don’t get good sleep while on vacation. I complained to front desk on the second day but was told that the people in the room above had already checked out.
