The rooms are quite quiet considering the downtown location. Staff are courteous. Parking is over a block and is not as convenient as having parking on site.

Friendly staff. Convenient location. Safe parking across the street. We had no view though. Just looked out onto a roof where seagulls were nesting . The two gentlemen checking us in were super friendly. Would ask for a different room next time but would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay and everything was good. A couple of detractors, we ended up with an accessibility room so the shower was odd and the whole bathroom gets wet. Lots of noise through the door if someone was in the hall.

Great hotel in a convenient central location.

Great hotel but parking arrangements were a bit of a surprise with underground in a different building, but worked out well for an extra $25 per day. We did not use maid service as we don’t need new bed linen or towels daily. An official green option would be nice. We walked everywhere from this hotel and the staff were friendly and helpful!

Wonderful and professional customer service. The hotel was very clean and beautiful. There is a wonderful bar and restaurant located on the main floor. The hotel is conveniently located to many shops and restaurants. We had a car, but hardly used it as we were able to walk to everything around us. Would highly recommend Hotel Rialto and would definitely stay there again when we visit Victoria. The manager, Arlene, and her staff helped me locate an item I left behind and so kindly walked me through the process to get it mailed back to me. The customer service goes above and beyond for the guests.
