So much has already been said about this wonderful property. The inn itself is beautifully appointed and lovingly maintained. It shares a garden with The Latch restaurant. The garden, while not large, is certainly large enough for privacy if you wish to sit and read or watch the sunset. The staff is warm and professional. The front desk staff act as concierge and give excellent recommendations and will assist with reservations.
The location, on the water and right next to Van Isle Marina and at the end of a very quiet street in a very quiet neighborhood filled with charming small homes and delightful gardens made it a wonderful area to stroll in the evening. Being a dog friendly property, the beautiful area around the Miraloma makes a great place to walk with your dog. The Miraloma will also lend you a bike if you prefer to peddle.
We were traveling as a family (four adults and one teen) so the suite was an outstanding choice for us. Two full bedrooms, each with its own TV and bath (The second bedroom’s bath had a door to the suite hallway so it could easily be used by the teen on the sleeper sofa), a small fully equipped kitchen, a living area with TV and fireplace (Fireplace was shared with the master bedroom) and two very large closets in the suite hallway for luggage and clothes for the occupants of the sleeper sofa. NOTE ON SLEEPER SOFA: the one in our suite was a “no bar” type sleeper sofa and so was unexpectedly comfortable. The Master bedroom had a full view of the water and a very large master bath with glass shower and separate soaker type tub.
The Miraloma served a pleasant continental breakfast and excellent coffee in the area off the lobby that looks out on the water and the gardens. Our teen also enjoyed the nightly cookies and cocoa.

Honestly, I cannot imagine staying anywhere else while in Sidney.

This is the most perfect place to stay on all of Vancouver Island. Our room was amazing, including grantite counters, heated slate floors, huge soaker tub, 2 fire places, and a view of not only the garden, but also the harbour, and the ocean. (If you are ever here, ask for room 309, best view in all the hotel) The room has all that you need ranging from a little kitchen (no stove) with all you need, to games and puzzles in the room. The fitness room and sauna are some of the nicest I've seen in a long time, especially considering the size of the hotel. You get underground parking and the whole hotel is immaculately kept up with everything in beautiful condition. The cookies and hot chocolate are a wonderful way to end the evening, and their breakfast in the morning is minimal, but lots of choices to have and everything is really fresh. The little resturant next to it is worth going to at least once, if not every day for dinner, it was amazing food and the owner Luigi is wonderful and makes sure that everything is perfect. The building itself is worth talking a look at too.
The bikes that are for guests are the perfect way to see the town, which has some of the friendliest people ever, ranging from the owner at the Big Moo Ice Cream Shop, to the owner of the Star cinema, they all make you feel like a local, and this is a beautiful town where they take pride in making people smile.
The staff at the Miraloma is one of their best assets as well, where nothing is too much to ask, and they don't skimp on anything, including the amazing shampoo and condition (they gladly gave us some to take home). They will help you with anything you need, and it's so close to Victoria that you get the best of all worlds. It's a perfect choice for any type of trip, and made our honeymoon the most amazing getaway we could ask for!

As other reviewers has said, this is a lovely hotel. It is probably more suitable to couples rather than singles or families.

The owners clearly take great pride in their hotel. - and rightly so! The gardens are beautifully maintained and inside the main hall and downstairs lounge area traditional-style furniture is featured. This is also where the continental breakfast is served each mornng.

Our room - a batchelor garden view room - was well appointed with a kitchette and a good sized balcony overlooking the gardens. The bathroom featured a walk-in shower so presumably would be suitable for a disabled person.

There is a free underground car park for guests although I guess that the crime rate is very low in this area.

What really makes this hotel special are the personal touches - the friendliness of the reception staff, the cookies and hot chocolate in the evening, even a teddy bear on the bed.

Sidney itself is a small and quaint town - population around 11,000. The town centre, which featues several restaurants as well as a number of bookshops - more per head of population than anywhere else in Canada apparently - is about a 25 minute walk away.

The BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay is a five minute drive away (tip - it is worth booking this in advance as we almost did not make our ferry despite being there two hours beforehand) with Victoria about 12 miles/20k away. This can be reached by the main highway or by the more scenic coastal route.

Boutique style B&B...very quiet and right next to the water. The service was excellent; friendly, courteous, and warm. Our room was gorgeous with a beautiful bathtub for two and a walk in shower. We stayed in a King Garden View room, the ocen view room were sold out. The price is reasonable, for what you get. Full kitchen, free fresh baked cookies, complimentary continental breakfast, newspapers, etc. I recommend Miraloma, and will be back to stay there again, and again.
