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.

Nice Place But be Aware of Potential Problem
Nice, clean place, convenient to many attractions in downtown Victoria. HOWEVER, there is no elevator to some of the rooms and having to lug luggage up and down flights of stairs is arduous, inconvenient, and could potentially lead to injuring oneself,particularly if someone is disabled to begin with. Nowhere in the description of this facility is the lack of an elevator to some rooms presented.

Great Location
The room was very clean and comfortable. It was also very noisy. The hotel is quite large so it is probably possible to get a quieter room away from the traffic noise on Douglas. On the up side, the location is fantastic and walkable almost everywhere. The price to pay for the the noise?

I will definitely think of the Helm's Inn when returning to Victoria. The little suite was perfect for the two of us. Clean and well appointed. Nice beds and linen. Location was very handy to all the things we wanted to see in town.

5 night stay for my wife's 60 bday, Helms Inn was perfect, great location, right next to Beacon Hill Park, a must see. King suite had all we needed, another must-do is Cora's Breakfast Diner, 2 blocks up Douglas St. We shall return!
