The property is located in the heart of Victoria and is in walkable distance to a lot of places of interest. It is an older building which has been renovated tastefully, and the rooms are spacious and equipped with excellent bathrooms. Very comfortable and quiet even though it is in the centre of the city. I have stayed a number of times at the Rialto over the course of the last six years and never had a bad experience. It has nice restaurant and bar on the main floor. I can only recommend the Rialto for anyone who travles to Victoria

I stayed alone in this delightful boutique hotel and it was wonderful! The room was well equipped and comfortable and had everything I could possibly want. A bonus’s was the heated marble bathroom floor and Sicilian products to indulge in! Fruit and coffee are available in the lobby in the am if you wish but I might suggest that croissants / pastries would have been a splendid addition! Many dining options available in the same building or venture out for delightful choices nearby. Everything is very walkable and umbrellas available on rainy days! I will stay here again very soon and recommend you do too! PS Ask for a quiet room! P P S The front desk staff are terrific!
