Roma
Very helpful and pleasant staff. Sincere and not fake. I liked that. Balcony overlooking harbour was spacious and comfy. The carpets in the hallways need some work but other than that would absolutely stay again. Thanks Guys.
Colin
I feel the hotel was way over priced for what was there. The service in the restaurant for breakfast was not great,the waitress was more interested in her phone than us waiting to be seated. Again for the price per night yall gotta pick it up a notch or drop the price per night.
Rebecca
Fantastic stay in a beautiful King room on the 2nd floor with a view of the harbour. Walking distance to Ganges, free parking, super convenient stay for our little 1-night island getaway.

Carrla
Room was clean and spacious. Live entertainment was spectacular, so much fun! Nice view and location was great!
Darlene
This accommodation in Ganges is within walking distance of everything you want to see and do in beautiful Ganges. Kyle was our main point of contact. He was courteous, respectful and very professional. He took time to answer our questions and was very helpful. The ambiance is vacation and business friendly with a relaxed ‘Island-time’ vibe. The beds were very comfortable, it was clean and quiet. All the staff were very nice. Will be happy to stay there again!
Abolfazl
There were ants in the rooms and inside fridge
Madeleine
Great location - walking distance to Ganges with all the restaurants and harbour side. Restaurant in hotel very convenient and great for breakfast first thing in the morning. Hotel looks very nice and well maintained. Close to Long Harbour ferry terminal as well and convenient for all sightseeing within the island. For EV drivers, there are EV chargers across the street at Moby's Pub. No issue getting around the island without charging anyways. Ample parking as well. Overall a good stay
Deborah
The staff is helpful. The property is beautiful and centrally located. They accommodated our ebikes safely.
I would recommend the Harbour House Hotel

Jean
From our room we had a view of the bay. Close to bars and restaurants and to the Saturday Market. Not sure it's worth $550/night though. But it was the only place on the island we could find with king bed.
Tanya
This is a gorgeous hotel with sustainability and natural design elements at the forefront. The staff were friendly and helpful and the welcome package was a much appreciated touch (freshly baked cookies, chocolates, and a reusable glass water bottle. Both the room and the patio were spacious with a great view of the harbour and we enjoyed sitting at the bar downstairs.
I am unsure if there was an elevator on site which would impact anyone with mobility concerns as there are a lot of stairs between floors.

The property was over priced for what it is , I had called the hotel to ask about adjusting dates due to a family emergency and the front desk person stated she would contact the manager and get back to me but I never heard anything and no mention at check in either ……. The hotel is okay but I would expect better at the rate they charge , they did however give a water bottle at check in but I’d preferred they keep the gift and charge appropriately………
Heather
The room was clean and tidy, comfy bed, great view and friendly staff. You can tell there has been recent renovations done to the hotel with an on-site restaurant. A little noisy in the evening due to music being played in the restaurant but only lasted till 10pm. Hotel was very close to the town of Ganges (5min walk) and the Saturday market was a hit!
Greg
Beautiful location just across the street from the bay. walking distance to the town center. Would stay here again!
Sergei
Advertised as Breakfast available, but all got offered was hot water instead of breakfast. Highly overpriced.
Kelly
I had a lovely view of the water and boats. The staff were friendly and the room was spotless! Thank you!

Fact that they have the breakfasts buffet included,except they didn't open breakfasts for the duratio of.our stays.
Jacqueline
Property was great. A little slow at check in but otherwise really nice stay.
Jacob
Perfect to stay at if you want to walk into Ganges for the market or go kayaking from the harbour.
Livea
It was great. Small increase inconveniences like they did not have a hair dryer in the room or a clothes iron. When asked they could not provide an iron because they have only three and all were signed out. Overall it was good experience and I would go back.
Shellina
We enjoyed the hotel a lot but the restaurant at the hotel isn’t good at all, though there are other great dining options near by, but one should make a reservation, especially if going on a weekend.

Stan
For the price We would expect nicer
No elevator. No safety hand rails in shower.
Sheets were too tightly tucked and did not come up high enough. Extra blanket would have been nice
Nice view unfortunately it was raining so did not use the deck.

Title: Unwelcoming and Unprofessional – Would Not Recommend
I booked Harbour House Hotel (Salt Spring Island) based on previous reviews, but had a very negative experience at check-in. The property felt deserted and lacked clear signage, creating confusion about whether it was even open. The front desk staff member was very unwelcoming, dismissive, and unprofessional—offering no assistance or basic hospitality. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable, rude, and unsafe, which led us to leave shortly after arriving.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this property to other travelers.

I realy liked the quiet and clean room
Melissa
We chose this because of the high ratings on cleanliness. That’s of the utmost importance to us. Upon arrival, there were black hairs in the shower so it obviously wasn’t cleaned properly. They did come in and clean it right away. The next day, we came back to the room and the towels were changed but the bathroom floor was dirty (there was mud on the rolled up bath towel and it was still on the floor) AND the bed wasn’t made. I also left a gross stained pillow on the foot of the bed to be replaced. I had to speak to front desk and again they did come and rectify the situation. For the cost, the room should be immaculate and we were grossed out. Also, not q-tips, cotton pads or slippers. Having these simple items would be helpful and expected at this price point. The balcony was cute. Nice view. No noise disturbances but we would not stay at this property again.

Mariann
Excellent stay, staff was wonderful!
Christopher
We came very early in the season and appeared initially to be the only occupants. We had some ongoing issues with the TV which was a shame. The view from the room was very good and the staff very responsive. To me, the place has a slightly clinical feel. So, making the place feel a little warmer would be to advantage
Glenn
The location was convenient and the service was good.
Ellen
The hotel was nice and had beautiful views, but we did not know the dining room was closed for the season. Our room was the first one beside the lobby (room 110) and all the noise from the lobby area bled through our bed wall (e.g. the lobby music, conversations, doors opening and closing and guests using the table and chairs on the other side of our bed wall. The hotel had board games for guests to use and the hot chocolate station with apples was a nice touch. Walkable to centre of Ganges.

Only a small, partial view from bottom floor, but great for our one night there. T.V. volume wouldn't go high enough for us to hear it, but that is our only complaint. Front service desk was very friendly and helpful!

Catherine our host was absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and helpful. Hotel has beautiful view of harbour. Very pleased and will be back.
Edward
Great property, great location.
Andreas
Front desk staff were extremely rude and not helpful. We felt that since we booked through Expedia and got a good deal they purposely delayed cleaning our vacant room and caused us alot of unneeded grief and hardship on us for an very important function.. Very negative and unsympathetic attitude...Beautiful location too bad such negative experience.
Brenda
It was a very clean and nice hotel. However to expect guest to carry their luggage up a long staircase is unacceptable.
Cheryl
We loved our stay, very close to the city center that we were able to walk everywhere.

It was fine but was advertised as a room with a view of “ The Farm” which was not correct. We saw a roof top and the parking lot
Demetris
Really nice rooms. Great views and an easy walk into the market!!
Neil
All good
michelle
Beautiful property located right at the marina close to shopping and dining. Would definitely stay again
Jon
Exceptional service and great rooms.
Robert
The pictures on Expedia are misleading. I had a room that did not have a view and had windows placed high, so it was rather dark with no view unless I walked to the windows and looked at the parking lot. Wi-Fi does not work unless you give them your birthday and your email address. The hotel wasn’t busy, I am sure there were better rooms available. But only this Undesirable one listed on Expedia.
The bright spot was the staff. Everyone at the front desk and the restaurant were very pleasant and eager to do anything they could to make my stay the best.
