The location of the Helms Inn is ideal - it is right across the road from Beacon Hill Park. It is walking distance to the seashore and also walking distance to downtown Victoria and all the restaurants.

Was fortunate to get into my room about 40 minutes before check in time. Room was clean and nice that bedroom was separate from TV area and kitchen areas....wish they provided actual coffee cream vs "white death" packets!

I would highly recommend Helms Inn, the staff, the location, the rooms are all fantastic. The only drawback would be the road noise as it is located across from Beacon Hill Park.

Our favorite place to stay in Victoria. We always book the double suites and love how the bedroom is separated from the kitchen (which is fully stocked with supplies). Highly recommend!

Very nice and roomy. Did not get to use the kitchen but the full-size refrigerator/freezer was a plus. The tub was very clean except there was a tiny bit of pink stuff on the wall right above the tub that needed to be cleaned as well as the tub stoppers in the cupboard under the sink. Overall we would stay here again. Staff very friendly and helpful. They recommended a good breakfast place that was awesome!

Great room with kitchen, comfy beds and lots of space. Parking was limited and we had to get a special permit for the overflow lot.
