Check in was seamless although at 3:00 pm was later than expected. Very clean rooms. As we live in Victoria and were using our place for visiting family, we did not need breakfast or use your laundry facilities.

Would definitely recommend your b&b to others.

The Craigmyle was such a charming and whimsical spot! The rooms were comfortable and clean and although the walls were quite thin, neighbors were quiet and respectful. The property is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of interesting spots to check out like Craigdarroch Castle and the nearby Government House. It was about a 30 minute walk from downtown Victoria through an area of town that felt very safe. I would absolutely return to this location on a future visit and I would recommend the Craigmyle for anyone who wants to stay in a more quiet, romantic spot outside of the main city center.

Whenever I visit Victoria, I always stay here. It’s nothing fancy or luxury place but I love its atmosphere and vibe. It’s an old building but always very clean and well maintained. Easy to park and not super far from downtown. Also very quiet neighborhood which makes it perfect.

We had a mixed experience. You are ‘welcomed” with signs about the keypad to get in, signs asking guests to “lose your shoes” and inspirational quotes such as “Arrive as strangers, leave as friends.” Unfortunately, this didn’t reflect our experience, as we didn’t meet the people running the property

On the positive side, we were allowed an early check-in, which was much appreciated. There is also a large communal lounge and a well-equipped guest kitchen.

However, our room was incredibly small - there wasn’t enough space to open our suitcase properly. It was also extremely hot. We knew before arriving there was no air conditioning and that fans were provided, but there were no power sockets to plug it in. And, the only socket we found for charging our phones was in the bathroom. The padded headboard was also covered in plastic, was rather odd.

Before our stay, I emailed to ask if my sister and her son could have a twin room rather than a queen bed. Unfortunately, I never received a reply, and they were allocated a single queen bed. Had we known this in advance, we would have chosen alternative accommodation. There also didn’t seem to be anyone readily available to contact or discuss issues with.

When we arrived & departed, the only people we saw were two young cleaners. One offered to help with our luggage, but only after we had already carried everything inside ourselves. And they ignored us as we left!
Help with luggage although above & beyond would have been lovely.

It was amazing that the building was right in front of the Castle. That made it easy to find and get out to all the main roads. We were able to walk down to the beach from there . The downtown area is within walking distance also. The breakfast was absolutely delicious for $10, well worth it. The only suggestion was to have fresh coffee out in the living area around 7am as my whole family were early risers. The staff were very helpful even when my husband had to call the night manager when we were separated and I had the key to the unit!! The street parking can be a bit difficult in the evening when also being used by the residents but just drive around the circle and you should find someplace for the night. We had a large truck so was harder to park anywhere in Victoria!!The entire building was wonderfully refurbished and decorated.

The Craigmyle is a beautiful property and we stayed in a lovely room. It was in a quiet location and we had a great night's sleep every night. Just a few small things would have made the stay even better. You can pay for breakfast as an extra which would have been convenient most days before we went out, however, on our first morning the breakfast took so long to arrive (over an hour) that we didn't bother again. It wasn't a complex offering so not sure what took so long. An alternative was to use the guest kitchen which we did, however there was no standard toaster, just a tabletop grill with a toaster setting which tripped out the first time we used it. Also it was great that you could access the laundry for clean towels and bedding, however there was only one iron and one ironing board with no cover on to borrow for ironing so they weren't always available. There was plenty of room to keep an iron and board in the room. No TV in rooms which is a bit unusual, whilst we don't watch alot of TV on holiday, it's nice to have the option. Overall we enjoyed our stay but a better breakfast service and a few more facilities would have made it exceptional.

I was not expecting such a beautiful old house. There was no TV in the bedroom or fridge or anything like that, but it honestly wasn't needed. This is an experience, not just an accommodation. I was only here for one night but I loved it so much and hope to return soon.

Check in was little confusing as there is no front desk, but nothing I couldn't figure out.

It is a beautiful building. They definitely were not lying about the amount of stairs. The room was on the smaller side but that was to be expected with an older house. Each room had its own bathroom and the only complaints I would have would be the lack of hot water on our last morning. Most days you just had to run the water a bit to get hot water to the top floor but our last day was a cold shower.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Craigmyle! First of all, it is located in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with beautiful greenery and quite vocal birds. Upon walking into the inn I was immediately greeted by the keeper and given comfortable slippers to walk around, we were offered a tour and notified of their breakfast. The suite where I stayed was nice and clean through and through. I’m not sure about all the other rooms, but my room had a mini fridge, a kitchen sink, toaster oven, microwave, kettle, drip coffee machine, as well as cutlery and plates. The bathroom was clean and they did let us know that they offer a guest laundry if needed. Overall I really enjoyed my stay, it is located in an area where transportation is no issue, with lots to do including a visit to the Craigdarroch museum. 10/10 this will definitely be my first choice for lodging when I go back to Victoria!

We really liked the area, quiet, bucolic, pretty and historic. The first floor of the house is lovely and very inviting. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors. Everything we needed was available and in excellent condition. The rooms are decorated with elegant touches and pretty window treatments.( Our room was the queen standard and small. My husband and I made it work, but next time will rent the next size up. )Also, there are many steps inside and some outside the house. Still, we really enjoyed our stay and the area of Victoria was very inviting without the hustle and bustle of downtown. Also, and this is very important, parking is free on the residential street right in front of the hotel! So for those who like a slower pace, this may be your temporary destination!

I usually do not write long review. Due to my job, I've travelled a lot. This one was the second hotel from this kind, I experienced once in New Zealand in a remote area in South Island. They changed an old luxury house to Bed and Breakfast at there.
This one was interesting, too. I had this chance to talk with the first owner. Very cool gentlemen.
It is another type of hotel actually. You can't see any staff, but everything is in order, clean and the neighbourhood is awesome. It is very like the old school Bed and Breakfast location. I definitely recommend if you want to stay in Victoria, try this. You will see many unusual things (in good way) start from the infront door.

The Craigmyle was perfectly located in a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood filled with incredible homes. Plus - a castle, right behind it! What's not to love about that?

The entire place was spotless and so, so comfortably furnished - both public spaces (special shout-out to the sunny wrap-around breakfast room!) and suites made for settling in and relaxing. No TV was an absolute bonus!

We used the kitchen facilities - very handy and also spotlessly clean. Parking was on-street and easy to find.

We \"splurged\" a whole $10 on breakfast and were so glad we did. Perfect end to our too-short stay.

We went for a short weekend trip in victoria and although the Craigmyle met our needs in terms of a place to stay that was minutes away from downtown and affordable, we did find that parking was not always abundant. The parking was limited on the street and it really depended one what time of the day it was. The bathroom sink was alot smaller than your average sink and the walls were paper thin. We also found that the water dispenser downstairs in the kitchen was not working properly. Overall it was a decent place to stay for a short trip with the check in and check out process made very simple. It was definitely a home with character. I also like that they provided slippers to all guests.

Laundry room with irons etc was convenient. The staff were accommodating and pleasant. There was access to extra coffee tea from the guest kitchen to replenish our kitchen in the garden suite. There were no teaspoons (just 2 large spoons) & not much sugar or coffee in the suite so had to go on a scavenger hunt to the guest kitchen upstairs. If we were missing something we could usually find it in the guest kitchen. The large common area was right above our bedroom area &, being an old building, noise, in the form of excessive thumping & banging was loud in our room feom upstairs - not a major problem until people were up there after 10 pm when we were trying to sleep &/or simply relax. The bedroom configuration didnt allow for any (even tiny) nightstand but instead there were awkward gaps between the bed and the built in closets beside it where items could fall down but we couldn't set anything down in that area. We were told there'd be plenty of Residential parking on that side of the road but for 2 of the 4 nights we couldnt find any & had to park & walk from other streets (even then, spots were hard to find). Im not sure that parking rules are enforced & not sure how they could be.

Perfect for anyone who wants to experience living in an authentic Victoria heritage home—but without the black mould! We lived in Victoria for over 25 years in homes in the same area and from the same time period, and the care, attention and love the owners have paid to the Craigmyle is incredible! The guesthouse is super well-maintained, and quintessentially Victorian (literally on historic Craigdarroch Castle’s doorstep), but updated in all the right ways (new windows and bathroom fixtures! Did I mention no black mould?) Located in Rockland, a beautiful, walkable, suburban neighbourhood, street parking is free (provided pass lets you use Residential spots), plus public transit is steps away, making it simple to get anywhere in the city no matter how you are getting around. Breakfast downstairs in the common area (only $10 extra—fill out order form on arrival) smelled terrific, but I was not sure there would be vegan options and I needed room for my Discovery Coffee Almond Milk mocha and giant Green Cuisine lunch. Will be back for sure!
