Bed and Breakfast Guest Reviews

Gavin & Gae,
Thank you for sharing your home with us. The stay was very warm, peaceful, and comforting. You can tell that both of you take great pride in what you do. Don’t ever lose that passion. Your patrons benefit from your hospitality. Needless to say, the breakfasts were delightful and the room was very relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub. What a pity we have to leave!

From the Zen-inspired suite, to the mesmorizing hot tub to the fabulous four-course breakfast, this was one of the greatest B&B experiences we’ve had. The location is perfect and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They lined us up for ferries, great Chinese food and anything we needed. The coffee kept flowing in the morning. The port and cognac in the evening capped perfect days. If you want to explore Victoria, it’s a perfect perch.

Our stay at Ambrosia was delightful and made our vacation in Victoria even more special. The rooms were impeccably clean and the service was bright and cheery. We had coffee and cookies when we arrived, and there was wine and cheese waiting for us when we returned in the evening. The word bathroom does not do justice to the spa rooms in each suite. It was a suite unto itself. We would recommend this spot to the Queen herself!

Being orginally from Victoria, I had never stayed at a B&B in my home town. My mistake! Our stay at Ambrosia was amazing! The room was fantastic. It included everything you would ever want for a relaxed, romantic weekend get-away. The warm, friendly service, the fireplace, the glass of wine on arrival, the bathroom…….wow! This is one of the best B&Bs we have stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Enjoyed a very comfortable stay with all kinds of attention to detail, including a welcome with your wine preference and hor d’oeuvres, truffles on our pillows at night, a fresh gourmet breakfast, and the most comfortable king-size bed. Also loved the rain shower and aveda bathroom amenities, which you are encouraged to take home with you (they supply plastic bags for the bars of soap!) The hostess was friendly and made reservations for our restaurant. Location is ideal, only a couple of blocks from downtown.

We stayed at the Ambrosia for our 15th anniversary and had a wonderful, relaxing, pampered time. We have been to Victoria many times and stayed in other B&B’s; None have been as outstanding as this one was. Gae and Gavin are very friendly and helpful. The Isis suite was just perfect for us. It was nice to get away from TV, lounge in "comfy" robes and slippers with the fireplace on, listen to music and talk.

My husband and I had never stayed at B&B before so we didn’t really know what to expect…
The room was huge, the bed extremely comfortable (my husband wanted to bag one of the pillows he loved them so much), the bathroom was gorgeous and the breakfasts were to die for. We had a tea/coffee station outside our room with freshly baked cookies for when we came back to our room in the afternoon.

This was by far the greatest B&B we stayed at. Marvelous location, beautiful house and lovingly decorated AND we were welcomed with great wine (and we are great wine lovers) and good cheeses. Our breakfast was extraordinary - excellent coffee - broiled grapefruits with maple syrup

My husband and I spent two nights here for our anniversary, and it was the perfect retreat! The rooms are not busy and cluttered like a lot of B&B’s, but sophisticated and elegant. The heated floors in the bathroom, and the dual shower heads were fabulous!

Wonderful, we stayed in the Zen suite and were completely blown away.
Besides the 80 gallon Jacuzzi tub and feather bed ( you will fall asleep

The Ambrosia Bed and Breakfast was a delightful place to stay. It is very close to downtown Victoria-which made it a perfect location for us, as we had walked onto the ferries. The Ambrosia was a beautiful, historic home and well decorated in modern theme inside. The breakfasts’ we enjoyed were AMAZING!!

The hosts are friendly and were very helpful in arranging dinner reservations for us and other tourist type events. And they prepare incredibly beautiful, tasty breakfasts! We look forward to staying there on our next trip to Victoria!

This place is an absolute treat!  Wish we were staying longer.  This is the first time we’ve stayed somewhere that the room was better and bigger than the website depicted.  Loved the breakkie and your hospitality.  We’ll hopefully see you in the summer.

We had a wonderful time.  You made our first bed and breakfast experience a pleasurable one.  Thank you for providing such a relaxing "home away from home" and hearty breakfast that sated us throughout our days of touristing.

Dear Gae & Gavin
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.  The most wonderful part of my stay was sinking into my room, the great bed, pillows, CDs just after a hot Jacuzzi tub!  The breakfast was amazing.  Thank you for a restful, quiet, relaxing stay.
