You need to know that you have to park your car about 3 blocks away. And don't forget to get a fob to get your car out if it's a weekend! That is a joke. Great location. Can walk around and see the busy area. No air conditioning so if you leave windows open for breeze it's really noisy.

Nice option in walking distance to everything

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Didn’t realize about the dress code until we received an email, but it wasn’t a problem as we didn’t plan to use facilities beyond entering/exiting the hotel. Has a lot of charm to it and is in the perfect location in Victoria near the Harbour. Note: if you have mobility issues: it looks like after a few months, the elevator is still not functioning. If you are coming during warmer days, note that there isn’t air conditioning so can get quite uncomfortable overnight, but they did add a fan to the room. Overall a very nice stay!

Union club is not just the name, they are actually a club. In the property details they said they have on site parking but when we got there they said on site parking is for club members only.. so we had to park 2 blocks away. Then they said to use the club amenities you need to follow club’s dress code, we travel with a carry on, how do you expect me to bring 3 shoes to accommodate your dress code. And no elevator… they send us an emails 2 days before or stay that there is no elevator. On top of all these no AC.

Amazing location, close to everything and walkable. Lots of old world charm and very nice staff. Don't book this place if you don't want to adhere to their dress code -- they make it very clear, and it's part of the charm. The breakfasts and dinner we had at the restaurant were even better than expected. Some of the rooms have been redone, and so have not, so there is a variety of quality there. If you can splurge for the harbor view, it's lovely. May want to ask if the room you'll be assigned has been remodeled. There aren't enough plugs for modern electronics near the bedside, which I guess isn't surprising, but also a little frustrating in 2025. Also, the elevator is still out; we knew it was being remodeled in June, but thought the work was sheduled to be complete by end of June. It was still going on in the first week of July, just FYI.

This is a super location for exploring Victoria. The room was spacious and had a lovely bathroom. The hotel is not really a hotel as we would know it. No air con. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. This is step access ONLY. Many stairs and no working elevator. The poor staff had to call for anyone to help with luggage. They also operate a before 11.00pm curfew which meant we had to make sure we returned before 11.00pm as we did not have a Canadian phone to call for access. We did enjoy our time here but this is a hotel which needs to compete with others around offering the 4* service one would expect for the price.

Great location, charming old world true club atmosphere. Unfortunately there is only one elevator that has been out of service for quite awhile and not noted at time of reservation and no follow up notification sent to me. My current mobility issue requires use of a walker. Had to leave the walker at the lobby and use the stairs to get to the room. Check to see if they have the elevator functioning before making a booking.

I think this is Private members only club. Property is not easy to find for the first timer. (I had to drive around few times to figure out the entrance of the building .) Parking is about 2 blocks away. Currently going under Elevator Renovation- No Elevator Option. Property has a lot of history behind. Private clubs. Room is old and windows are old, but very clean. Location is wonderful. If you like sort of old style building, this is it. if you are looking for modern stuff, this property is not it. If you want to dine here, you have to follow dress code (Check with them before you book). Although, there are a lot of food options around the property. Parking can be bit hassle since you will have to grab a Parking key card to park at the underground structure about 2 blocks away and return the parking key card back to the front desk. Parking is $20 (Cheap).
