There are a number of Bed & Breakfasts springing up ranging in price
from around $60 to over $100. This is actually an excellent way to stay here. You quite
often benefit from the local knowledge of the owner in way you seldom get from a Hotel. A
number of them are very well placed , close to Beaches & Parks. There are not a great
number in the downtown core, but there are some in the West End adjacent to
downtown, and a
lot in Kitsilano, a beach area very close to downtown. There is a B&B directory at the
Airport. If you run a B&B , have a web site, and would like a direct link, I will be
glad to add it (after I check you out) if you E-Mail me a request. (Please use "Link Request" in the Subject field and send me
your URL). Some recommended B&B's are listed in the second table below.
if you are planning on visiting the Okanagan Valley, try the
Tequila Sunrise B&B near
Penticton (Kaleden)

I have had negative reports about Schofield House in Victoria. Here is a
comment from a Visitor:
My friend and I had booked into this B&B looking for a nice place for a
girlie weekend. Imagine our HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT on arrival, to discover what a
mess it is. As soon as we walked in, we were hit by a terrible smell of
musty/old people/unclean. We were taken up to our room only to discover on route
that dust was settled everywhere. Even the sherry bottle (which was supposed to
be used by guests) was covered in dust along with everything else. Our bedroom
was as described but again dirty and the pillows were yellow and the cases dirty
and creased as if they'd not been washed for months. We expressed our concerns
to the lady, although we didn't enjoy this but she insisted we had to at least
pay 1 night as we hadn't given 7 days notice. She did put this on my friends
visa card which she had the number from the booking to hold the room. Visa have
said that she is within her rights to do this as it was a 7 day cancellation. We
did complain at the time to the board via T.I. who were extremely helpful. We
are so upset by this experience and the fact that she is within her rights to do
this, what about our rights!!! We did find a fabulous B&B via T.I. called Trutch
Manor which was everything and more that we'd wanted and was also $40 a night
less!!! So, please, please don't advise anyone to go there.
