Haterleigh Heritage Inn en Victoria

I love staying at Haterleigh Inn, so we've returned at least three times when visiting Victoria. A house with character doesn't begin to describe the atmosphere of the place. The original architect-owner must have been very proud of his home, and we've visited other Victoria buildings that he designed (like the Rogers' Chocolates home store on Government Street). Though I'm not usually a fan of Victoriana, the current owner has created a cozy, welcoming environment that feels very appropriate to the house. His breakfasts are outstanding, with a touch of Asian food as well as the usual toast, eggs, fruit, and cereal choices. Interestingly shaped rooms with comfy beds, big tubs, and all the necessary amenities; thickly carpeted staircases; an elegant sitting room next to the breakfast salon; a friendly and caring host. Checking in was easy, and there's parking provided - a real bonus in the historic James Bay neighbourhood. It's a short walk to the Parliament Buildings, Inner Harbour, and the city centre attractions - with Victoria's beautiful south-facing waterfront even closer, reached by walking in the opposite direction. Somehow everything about Haterleigh works to enhance our experience of Victoria. I look forward to our next visit!

Easy check in/ check out. Very traditional style room in frot of Victoria inner harbor. The inn is not too close from DT Victoria, so it's very peaceful at night time. The breakfast that is served here is very volumy. I loved the fact the host served us western and Asian style breakfast.

A magical place to stay in Victoria! Fabulous location, just a few blocks off the Inner Harbor, so quiet yet accessible. A large Victorian mansion built in 1901, with exquisite stained glass windows. Beds are super comfortable. The place is quirky and unique. An outside veranda with exercise running and bicycle machines, even! The Innkeeper, Mr. Chen, a consumate host, memorable for his charm and warm, hospitable nature. To stay here was a treat, and we look forward to returning.

The breakfast is fabulous. The history of the inn is very intriguing. The host is excellent. Will return one day.

The position is great (quiet street near town) and the host was friendly. Breakfast was amazing and the host was very accommodating. BUT it was very noisy. The plumbing for the neighbours shower was behind our bed and they decided to have many long showers after 10pm. The walls are thin and the person in the loft upstairs walked back and forwards for hours. It is an old house so there is no sound proofing. It also had the creepiest bathroom I have ever seen with curtains around the tub(it was mouldy) and a window that showed the toilet from the bed(no blind). There were crumbs in the bed. Yuk. The place overall needs a good revamp. Sorry to not be more positive as it could be a nice place.

This is an absolutely perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Victoria for a couple of days. The owner is absolutely charming and helpful. The house itself has a great history to it and fantastic stained glass as well as interesting antiques. The rooms are twice the size of a hotel room and have unbelievably huge Jacuzzi bathtubs in them. The location could not be any better and the neighborhood is really nice. I will absolutely go again and try different room. We stayed in the daydreams room, which is the front of the house.

Arrived at Hatersleigh Lodge, on this occasion first impressions do not count, the grounds and building are in need of a little TLC, however changed my mind on entering the building!! It’s tired yes, it’s allowed to be, it’s so old, but it’s still has a lot of its original features, we loved it, our room was quirky, in the original part of the house in the attic if you like, it’s clean, the bed was so comfortable, we had a refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities in the room and separate private bathroom which had everything you need, including a comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, slippers, toiletries, and it was our home for a few days, breakfast, was a little different to what we’re used to but it was enough set us up until our next meal, the owner went above and beyond to help and made everyone feel welcome

If you’re looking for something other than a hotel room, the Haterleigh B&B could be for you. Located within walking distance from the ferry terminal and many eateries. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were clean and tidy, decorated in the same tradition as the building, the complimentary extras in the rooms was over and above anything we’ve ever received before, there was all the usual shampoo, conditioner and body lotion but there was also individual combs, toothpaste and toothbrush and bath gel. The breakfast was delicious it consisted of a hot breakfast, croissants, yoghurt, fruit, tea and coffee. The host was a friendly obliging man and nothing was too much trouble, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend the Haterleigh.
