“The location is prime for exploring Victoria's Inner Harbour and downtown, though some rooms can catch street noise, especially from the rooftop bar. It's a historic building with a games room and several on-site restaurants, so there's plenty to do without stepping outside. For travelers who want to be in the middle of everything, and don't mind some potential for noise, this could be a good fit.”
