Arrived early and they got us into a great room that was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and with a kitchenette to boot. The complimentary breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious. The clean and quiet location is 2 blocks from the ferry, across the street from the parliament building, and a couple minute walk to the downtown and other attractions. I will absolutely stay at the Embassy again whenever I am in the area.

"Valentine weekend"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 13, 2013
Great hotel, wonderfully pleasant staff working. Clean room and close location to plenty of bars and a short walk fom the water. The only issue we had was that we were told continental breakfast was included, but all that consiste p was a couple coupons for a free coffee and scone at the cafe in the lobby. Nonetheless a pleasant trip overall.
"At least once in your life"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 4, 2013
Everyone must visit Victoria and spend the night at The Empress at least once in their lives. Victoria is a walkable city and The Empress is incredible and central to all the sites in Victoria. It was a short walk from the Victoria Clipper ferry we took from Seattle. Of course, you must have Tea at the Empress. In the winter you don't really need reservations but you will during the rest of the year. Only thing I don't like about The Empress and other high end hotels is having to pay for wireless internet. Victoria is not a very wireless friendly city. It was difficult to get a good signal in many parts of the city.

"Downtown Location is Prime..."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 15, 2013
You couldn't ask for a better location. I traveled solo and took a chance on this hotel through hotels.com on a special rate, having never even been to Victoria. Boy, was I surprised. Only about 20 minutes away from the airport and the shuttle drops you off right at the front. The front staff are all kind of uninterested in you and not very welcoming, but will follow up on your requests promptly. All of them were like this...weird. This is not the Ritz-Carlton, but the room is very comfortable and very nicely furnished. Relatively clean, but in need of some maintenance here and there, which I believe they are slowly accomplishing. (For instance, the tub in my room was very damaged/peeling and in need of resurfacing and the shower pressure wasn't horrible, but it wasn't fantastic either.) You can walk all over the place because the Bedford seems to be literally in the center of downtown. Multitudes of eateries, excursions, entertainment within a short walk. Even the bus hubs are close by! I heard of it being noisy on other reviews, but my room faced the harbor and was very quiet, although it faced other rooms, so be sure to close your windows up at night. The only thing I heard was someone warming up with a trumpet in the gay club upstairs...yeah. But, that being said, I would stay here again. It definitely served its purpose. And again, you won't find anything priced this low with this value.
