Property is centrally located in Victoria, plenty to do and see. Our ONLY complaints were the bed was too soft. We kept rolling into each other and we had to run the fan to keep the room cool at night. Please note the dress code in common areas (be prepared). No tennis shoes allowed

Parking is inconvenient, access to lobby is convoluted, no help with luggage. Snobbery was on display within the building. The "club" mentality is old fashioned and comical. Room was large, noisy streets below, tiny bathroom with zero counter space. Breakfast was limited and meh. Would not recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and we really loved this hotel. The location was perfect and it was easy to walk anywhere in the city. Our room was very comfortable and clean. It was very warm the day we were in Victoria and our room got a little bit warm overnight, but we were OK with the fan provided. The only downside was we needed to have the windows open for cool air and so in the morning we were woken by the sun and the seagulls. The seagulls are very loud in the city. We loved exploring the hotel, which is so beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the city. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, who is staying in Victoria!

Very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Great after a long day walking the busy streets. Perhaps too quiet for most but I as exactly what I was looking for.

No Air conditioner, mildew in bath, no outlets to charge phones, bed too hard, elevator floor uneven which made it difficult to roll carts in or out of elevator. Need screens on windows. Parking an issue, got ticket across the street when I was only 4 mins late. Do not recommend others to stay there. Too many rules to stay there.

Glad we stayed at this Gentleman's Club landmark
The Union Club still exudes the atmosphere of a gentleman's club of the English Empire with its beautiful and overwhelming wood finishes, room layouts, quiet atmosphere, and service. You'll see dedications to the heroes of WWI and portraits of the king and Winston Churchill. It also has a snooker room that appeared to be in use most of the time. The food service and quality is good and our suite was very comfortable and upgraded. Wifi worked throughout the club. Showers had hot water and good pressure. With any club, there are rules and they are strict about their dress code and security. Most of all, its location is primo.
