Fabulous boutique hotel, circa 5 min walk to the waterfront. Beds are so so comfy and the freshly cooked breakfasts will keep you going all day long. The staff can't do enough for you and if we return to Victoria we would definitely choose this hotel!!

Brian on the desk made us feel very welcome and gave us a great introduction to the hotel. This boutique hotel had so many pleasing extras that i havn't seen before in any hotel in my extensive travels.... Doubt whether i will be back in Vancouver Island but if i was then Sidney and the Beacon Inn would be my first choice and i would strongly recommend. Beacon Brewing down the street was an added bonus........

A comfortable, clean and well presented hotel in a convenient location with helpful and friendly staff. In addition, an excellent restaurant serving delicious food and a very good selection of beverages. Overall, a superb hotel that is value for money and of a high standard throughout. I would strongly recommend a stay at the Magnolia. I thoroughly enjoyed mine.

The property was completely refurbished and reopened in April 2026. A very high standard specification, with warm coastal decor in guest rooms and public spaces. Would recommend.

Hotel room was beyond my expectations - what an incredible view from the bedroom window as well! Jetted tub and rainfall shower were highlights. I could imagine this as a cosy get away in the winter where the fire place would add to the ambience (definitely not needed for my summer stay).
Breakfast was superb, staff was friendly and Kaeden was welcoming for both the check in and check out.
I was able to relax at the pool until time to depart for a late afternoon ferry. One thing that was a...

Good location in Victoria with ample Restaurants in the vicinity. Nice view of the harbour from our room. My one bit of advice if arriving by car is to ready the instructions provided by the hotel as my phone satnav did try to direct me via a route down Yates Street that was not possible. The Hotel mentions this as a likely problem - though doesn’t actually explain the correct route - basically you need to be on Wharf Street to access the short Spur of Yates street that takes you to the car...
