Great place to stay!
My son and I very much enjoyed our stay here. We came on the Black Ball Ferry without our car. It was a very easy walk from the ferry to the hotel. We arrived at 11am hoping to have them hold our bags but they already had a room ready for us and allowed us to check in early. The staff were very friendly and our room and beds were very comfortable. It was a great location. We were able to walk to restaurants and museums. The day we checked out they held our bags so we didn't have to carry them around until our ferry left at 4. I would highly recommend this hotel and definitely stay again!

A fine stay. Bring earplugs as the garbage trucks are banging about at 6 am! The hotel gave me a gift card for $20 for my birthday! Thanks! Had a nice steak and shrimp at the hotel’s restaurant. Tasty! Hard bed.

A great location near lots of sites!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Strathcona Hotel. It was conveniently located close to many places we could walk to- downtown shopping and restaurants, Murchie’s and Munro Books, the harbor and the Royal BC Museum. We parked in the hotel parking lot, 1/2 block away that was really convenient. Our room had a king sized bed, a sofa, microwave and small fridge. It was great place to come back to each evening to relax. People working at the desk were very friendly and helpful. A big shoutout to Nathalie for having our room ready early. We stopped to drop off our luggage early, and were thrilled to find out we could check in early.
