DK Eyewitness "Just steps from Union Station in the city’s Financial District, this small hotel, with just 56 rooms, offers all the amenities of a large hotel, along with excellent service."
Time Out "Old and small are good qualities when it comes to hotels, and this one is both. Built in 1908, the Victoria is the second-oldest hotel in the city after The Gladstone." Full review
Rough Guide "This long-established, medium-sized hotel occupies an old high-rise in the heart of downtown."
Star Service "The second-oldest hotel in the city, this property is, thanks to a major makeover in 2010, also one of the trendier options downtown." Full review
