Room was fine. Parking for unloading was nonexistent as the loading area was being used by the pub patrons, meaning that we had to walk a couple of blocks with our luggage. Room is quite noisy, we were expecting noise from the pub below but the penthouse above was rented for a wedding party and was very noisy until the wee hours of the night. Not sure how renting some rooms to sleep in and renting some rooms to party in makes sense. Doubt I will ever stay there again or recommend it.

NO FRONT ENTRANCE ACCESS FOR LUGGAGE DROP OFF, MUST PARK 20-35 METRES AWAY IN A LOADING ZONE, CROSS A BUSY BIKE LANE ALL WITHOUT A LUGGAGE TROLLY AVAILABLE FROM THE HOTEL TO TRANSFER LUGGAGE. THE LOADING ZONE HAD A DELIVERY TRUCK AND ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR OVER 40 MINUTES SO WE HAD TO CIRCLE THE BLOCKS UNTIL THE ZONE WAS AVAILABLE AND THEN STRUGGLE TO TRANSFER LUGGAGE TO THE HOTEL A 1/4 BLOCK AWAY WITHOUT TROLLY. ONCE UNLOADED WE NEEDED TO RETURN TO VEHICLE AND FIND A PAID PARKING LOT IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, DOWNLOAD AN APP TO PAY 34.00 A DAY FOR PARKING. HORRIBLY INCONVENIENT, TOOK APPROXIMATELY 1.5-2 HOURS TO WAIT FOR LOADING ZONE TO CLEAR, TRANSFER LUGGAGE AND THEN FIND SUITABLE PARKING QUESTIONING SAFTY OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SECURITY. 1ST NIGHT THE LARGER PENTHOUSE SUITE DOWN THE HALL WAS RENTED OUT FOR A LARGE PARTY, KEPT US AWAKE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, SECOND NIGHT THE GROUP NEXT DOOR CAME IN AT 230 AND WE NEEDED TO CALL AGAIN NUMEROUS TIMES TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP. SO IF YOU LIKE TO UNLOAD YOUR LUGGAGE AT A COVERED SAFE DEPENDABLE HOTEL ENTRANCE FRONT DOOR, AND SLEEP AT NIGHT THEN AVOID THIS PLACE. THE ROOMS ARE INTERESTING, THE BUILDING IS COOL, THE LOCATION IS AMAZING, BUT I ALSO LIKE TO SLEEP AND DO NOT WANT TO STRUGGLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY STREET TO FIND A PARKING SPOT TO THEN STRUGGLE TO CARRY HEAVY LUGGAGE A 1/4 BLOCK TO THE ENTRANCE WITH OUT HOTELS ASSISTANCE. THE STAFF DID NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO OUR CONCERNS, STATING MANAGEMENT WAS AWAY.

Met our needs as a basic apartment hotel. Staff very friendly and place clean. Check in quick. Noise due to street traffic and location but to be expected when so close to tourist areas and China town. We were not concerned about the noise as we wanted to be walkable to attractions and dining in Victoria without a rental car. Very easy to get around downtown Victoria.

A charming piece of history that feels like home

The Swans hotel is lovely, it feels like staying in a piece of history. Having an entire apartment available is really nice as a family, there was plenty of room for everyone and a full size kitchen. The pub downstairs is great, the food options are wonderful to have, though there is so much food in the area you would be remiss to not explore a bit. The only downside we experienced is that it was unseasonably warm and the main room did not have any windows. Fans were provided, which did help as long as we left the bedroom door open.

A nice mid range hotel. Visitors should know that parking is difficult to find for a reasonable price. Also, in our particular unit the steps to the bedroom is over 20. The only washroom is on the bottom floor so quite difficult at night. The heat was oppressive, since there is no air con and the windows do not open easily and cannot be left open since they open into the rooms, are quite large and have no sceens. The staff were wonderful and efficient.
