It was a pleasant three nights in Helm’s in. Hotel is close to everything I wanted to visit.Really loved it that it has a little kitchen area plus the bed is in a separate room. Feels like in an apartment other than a hotel. Nice and sweet!!

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.

Stayed at the Helm's Inn for our first time while I took my kiddo to his first concert in the city. Front desk staff were delightful and helpful, room was spacious and very clean. Comfy bed! Location is fantastic - everything is walkable. Will absolutely stay here again. :)

The rooms were exceptionally clean and spacious. Downtown area was within an easy walking distance and felt safe and secure. For greater distances, the parking was convenient and well lit The cleaning staff were diligent, attentive, and hard-working. Would definitely stay here again.
