The Union Club is a beautiful old building and it’s great to be able to stay there. Meals were excellent and very well priced as were the drinks. Service was also very friendly. Negative aspects are lack of air conditioning meaning leaving windows open in hot weather and getting street noise, having to get luggage up a floor of steps to the main entrance and having to be very conscious of house rules.

The location is the best. The room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed. Did notice the dress code and etiquette rules applied differently to different guests.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Obviously not a tourist hotel just a private members club that allowed nonmembers to stay. Dress code somewhat pretentious in this day and age when some of the best hotels in the world only require it for fine dining. No coffee or water in room, unheard of these days. The good points are, pristine bed linen , excellent food and the patio was worth a couple of visits.

The club is a delight respite in the centre of the city. Esper Anne was welcoming, professional, and went out of her way to answer all of my questions. The club is beautiful with plenty of common areas to relax and read. The food is delicious and I appreciated the freshly coffee in the morning.

Everything about the stay was great. Room was clean, front desk was very nice and helpful. Check in and check out process was very easy. The only downside (which I was aware of before checking in) are the limited front desk hours, they're not 24x7. A few times I arrived after hours and had to call security to be let in. It would be significantly more convenient for guests if the fob worked for both doors 24x7. But overally a very pleasant stay in a historic building.

Great location, Staff were courteous, room is a throwback to 1960 elegance. Comfortable and food is great! Good value for the cost. You have to be able to manhandle your luggage up full flight of outside stairs in the rain... and the strict rules can be a bit much!

Parking was not straightforward. We found more convenient self parking (in part because it was shoulder season and a Sunday when City parking is free. ) The 11pm lock out requires a cell phone to call and get let in-maybe a buzzer would be more convenient. We weren’t sure if breakfast was included, had to ask for a Wifi code because it’s not listed in the room. Great location. Poor street signage.

My husband & I appreciate old architecture, so we decided book 3 nights out of curiosity. The service was great, the room was comfortable. No coffee maker in the room is the only inconvenience. The gym is well equipped compared to other places we've stayed at. The Union Club is perfectly located for walking down town Victoria.
