Perfect location for access to Inner Harbour and all its nearby attractions. Helms Inn is on a busy street, so the traffic noise can be heard. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This is a quaint little Inn. Its very clean and they seem to be doing renovations to upgrade the property. The staff is friendly and very helpful and the property is in a perfect location. Walkable to so many of Victorias sights. My only complaint was thay it wasn't very sound proof and when the room above was occupied it was a bit noisy.

Nice clean accommodation. Friendly staff. Well priced for the location. Only downside there are no elevators to upper floors which could be a challenge for some guests. Parking was a challenge on site both nights with the lot being very full. Have not had that issue there on previous stays so perhaps an anomaly. Overall a good choice for the downtown harbour location.

Rooms are updated and comfortable, and staff is helpful and professional. Pleasant smaller hotel. Only concern was that floors creak fairly loudly. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s a non-issue.
