The hotel was clean, situated near bus routes, China Town, restaurants, and other sights. The service was wonderful, our room was huge and very clean. The hotel has a sports bar and adjoining restaurant. The only negative was the neighborhood, all the drug addicts sleeping in the street and needles everywhere. The Hotel Rialto has nothing to do with that, of course. It seemed like no one anywhere was doing anything about these people. Bottom line? Knowing what we know, we would stay here again. We felt very secure in the hotel.

It is a great location downtown Victoria. Great restaurants, shopping, and sight seeing all within walking distance. There is a nice sports bar and restaurant downstairs. Only complaint would be the windows are super thin and we felt like the crosswalk was in our room. Other than that we loved the property.
