Brilliant location in Victoria - 1 block to Beacon Hill park, 2 blocks to Downtown and restaurants, 3 blocks to Cook St Village. We were delighted with the place. Breakfast was three courses and top notch every morning - almost silver service! We stayed in the smallest room, which was still spacious, clean, romantic and inviting. Classy decor, all amenities...

I told our English travel agent that he had saved the best until last when we stayed at this charming B& B at the end of our trip to Canada & Alaska . Even better was the upgrade to the Zen suite with its fabulous bathroom ! The stylish bedroom was also very comfortable . There was great attention to... More

We stayed at many B&Bs on a recent rip to Canada and Alaska, most of which were very good indeed, but Ambrosia was certainly the best of the best. Location is ideal with a very easy walk to centre of downtown area, the Empress, Museum, Parliament House and the waterfront. Our room, bathroom and spa were beautifully presented and very... More

We spent two nights at the Ambrosia to celebrate my birthday during August 2011 and it was a fabulous trip. The Inn was very clean and comfortable and I absolutely loved our room. Bob made excellent dinner suggestions (I would especially recommend the French restaurant a few blocks away if it is good weather to sit on their patio), booked... More

The owners were wonderful hosts, they went out of their way to ensure we would have the perfect visit and she is an extremely talented chef. The breakfasts we enjoyed were some of the best food we had during our... More

My husband and I visited Victoria recently and stayed at Ambrosia. The name suits the place really well. We stayed in the prospect room, which is intimate, comfortable, and very romantic. The Aveda products and the chocolates are a great bonus. And they replenish them every day!! The breakfast is truly delicious and ever since I left, I have been... More

My wife and I spent three nights here this August and absolutely loved it. The home is beautiful with a colorful and welcoming garden out front and tables and benches on the lawn and the porch. The location is great as it's a short 3 or 4 block walk to the heart of the Inner Harbour. Our room was great... More

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at the Ambrosia B&B. Dawn and Bob were very friendly and welcoming hosts. Their place is absolutely gorgeous; the rooms have spectacular bathrooms! Great location- within walking distance to biggest tourist areas. And breakfast was delicious with coffee awaiting us outside our rooms. We felt very spoiled. Would higly recommend. More
