Room was in fine condition but the noise from the fridge and hallway was very loud. Not very dark either for those who like darkness while sleeping. Lots of light sources like the microwave, hallway and windows plus the noise made it difficult to get a good nights sleep. Would get a suite with a bedroom next time to avoid excess noise and light. Otherwise a classic Oswego experience: friendly staff, clean rooms, nice hand soap and great location close to downtown without the crowds.

As a group of 4 Adults, we stayed in a 2 bedroom suite on the fourth floor. The room was very comfortable, with two bathrooms, a nice walk out patio and full kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the room was nicely cleaned, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to be back, as it's a beautiful area, close to many great sites, restaurants, and cafes. Thank you for a great stay!

The Oswego in Victoria, BC exceeded our expectations. The front desk staff were polite and friendly. Comfortable lounge area at the front and the restaurant/bar had the most amazing bar manager and bartenders. Food was excellent. Our room was clean and spacious. Location excellent to walk the harbour area.
