We were upgraded to a suite, but we actually preferred the room we had last year as it was more spacious. Other than that, it's a wonderful hotel.

I stayed her for 6 days with my Husband while visiting my Son, I honestly could not have picked a more suitable place. The room was absolutely gorgeous and I loved the kitchen which allowed us to cook a lot of our meals. It was within walking distance to everything and was such a gorgeous, quiet place to stay. I loved that they also had laundry facilities and fresh fruit and tea and coffee downstairs and a lovely little patio out back and at the end of our hallway. I cannot wait to go back as this will be the only place I stay from now on and I have told a couple of my friends about it who also visit Victoria.

Perfect location for access to Inner Harbour and all its nearby attractions. Helms Inn is on a busy street, so the traffic noise can be heard. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.
