Ocean Island Café Lounge - Victoria, British Columbia

I've lived here for several months and it became a home. I truly love the staff and the general vibe in the hostel. I feel like its clean (though that depends on personal interpretation i guess) and the food was great. Especially dinner I could still enjoy everyday, even though I ... had eaten it for a long time. Lexi, Bri, Val, Michaela, Jorge and all the others, thank you all so much for the amazing half year I had ❤ Highest of Recommendations I can give (stay monthly if possible) Read more

It is a hostel. Food is seperate, hostel stay is good. recommended to stay

False Advertising. " Druggies Island Lounge " Very Dangerous Area, Right Next to SRO Junkies All Over, Good Luck. Safer to Pitch a Tent. Absolutely Horrible

Price experience score (9.5/10) Free breakfast and dinner for room occupants. Free one glass of alcohol per day of stay. Cleanliness was observed in the shared utilities. Luckily my roommates were very nice. Location right smack at downtown. Great location although beside the street so you can hear vehicles. Bring your eye covers too ... as windows are left open. Incredibly Great Value for money for a dorm and to be in downtown Victoria. Read more

My stay at this hotel was quite the adventure. The bed I slept on here was on a piece of plywood propped up on top of some shelves. The room felt like one of those compact rooms they have in japan minus the cleanliness. The room although it cleaned felt ... unclean and uncomfortable due to the linty blankets which me and my brother decided to sleep on top of instead of in. The best part of my experience was the fire alarm that woke everyone up at 2 am. Everyone on the floor was awoken and the reason this happened was because someone decided to smoke inside their room. Happy Canada day I guess.. This whole experience cost us a good 158 $ dollars (per room). And there was no apology or compensation for the type of service we were given. If anyone decides to stay here don't expect much luxury. Read more
