Very short 2 block drive from the Moho Ferry (vehicle transport ferry from Washington state) to this ultra clean hotel. We (3 adults and 2 infants) stayed in a 2 bedroom suite. Short 5 minute walk to Parliament Building, Inner Harbor and the start of tourist shopping area. Front desk staff was cordial but not useful for identifying things not to miss or good non-tourist restaurants (may have been college students??). Skip this hotel's restaurant (most every guest did) and try the downtown ones. Recommendation: Exit hotel, walk 1 block towards the water, and eat at the restaurant on the right side of the street (their Sea Bass is awesome). Best way to describe the hotel is super clean and quiet but with zero personality. Didn't see very many guests during our entire stay. Fitness Center was empty... My guess is others stayed at the Empress Hotel or one of the others closer to the downtown section of Victoria that have history and architecture personality to them or the very inexpensive ones east of downtown shopping area. Don't miss the bell tower near the museum that plays music each hour (gift from the Dutch queen), and the totem pole park behind the museum. Tourist shopping is above average for a cruise line stop and extends to a Chinatown section (easy walk from hotel). Note: the cruise ships come in Thursdays so skip the downtown shopping and drive north on the island to see the neighborhoods and coastlines... This island is very beautiful when you get away from the tourist areas.

This is a hotel that I will recommend to anyone staying in Victoria. We stayed in a one bedroom accomodation, with full kitchen and felt like we were in a condominium. The basic essential cooking utensils necessary to prepare a full meal were there. The daily breakfast in the first floor common area helped me gain a few extra pounds that easily could have been avoided if I had chosen the lower calorie items. The location of the hotel is excellent while removing us from the busiest of streets yet so close to everything that there was no need for a car while in the central city. The staff is shockingly pleasant and helpful. If only every hotel had these employees to make all their guests feel so attended to. We stayed the week of Christmas and never felt that any employee would rather be doing something else. This hotel is family, pet, and gay friendly. We met interesting people from place near and far.

I have never felt compelled to write an online review, but in the case of the Oswego Hotel, I wanted to share all of the great things about this boutique hotel. First of all, our 1 bedroom suite definitely didn?t feel like a hotel room at all. The hotel designers and staff have taken care of many details?from the apples in the room to the softness of the sheets to the French press in lieu of a drip coffee maker?to make the hotel?well?less ?hotel-like?. To that end, they have definitely succeeded. Our stay there felt more like we were in a friend?s upscale loft than a hotel room. Some of the amenities include: on-site self-service laundry facilities, free continental breakfast that included (at least while we were there) crepes, cereal and a wide variety of fresh fruits and juices. Our room featured very large windows that afforded great views, which I?m guessing are great regardless of the room location, a balcony, free internet, and an array of full-size appliances in the kitchen: refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and range (and to take advantage, a grocery store 2 ? blocks away). The staff was all young, energetic, unpretentious and very informative. Lastly, the location served as an ideal spot to discover Victoria by foot.

Really enjoyed this boutique hotel. Not too big, Great location - just one block away from the inner harour. Lovely, comfortable rooms with flat panel tvs and full kitchens. Great views from upper levels and very friendly, helpful staff. I will make sure and book here for my next business or pleasure trip to Victoria. LM

My husband and I stayed two nights at the Oswego in early August and we loved it! The location cannot be better: a couple of blocks from the harbor front and the Empress. The Oswego is brand new and the staff is showing pride through their friendly and efficient service. I appreciated the note in my room confirming the reservation they had made for us at a sushi restaurant as requested. Our suite was very clean and well decorated. It felt very "boutique hotel". The deluxe continental buffet breakfast was great and the staff was very accommodating. I enjoyed the details: the water pitcher in the main lobby, the nice products in the bathroom and the blankets on the patio just in case the air is too fresh. We will go back if the price remain affordable. An excellent experience.

A great new property. Finally a stylish boutique hotel in Victoria. The rooms are girgeous and the bistro was great!
