  wheniforgot - Going to be in Victoria for a wedding for a few days - Would anyone be able to recommend some cheap hostels in the downtown area?

  I think the only decent one is the Ocean Island. http://www.oceanisland.com/ I've heard sketchy things about some of the others in town, I'd stay away from them. This one always seems busy (with travellers) and fairly clean. There is the HI Victoria, which is probably 2 nd on the list. Avoid Turtle.

  Hey, guys and gals, looking forward to the new PDL season. Looks like we'll have to stay overnight in Victoria for the Pumas match, and Victoria is pricey in summer. Any leads on cheap hotels much appreciated!

  Don't know about your requirements for overnights, but the International Hostel on Lower Yates in Victoria is about $35 for a dorm setting and $85 or so for a private room in mid-summer. Ocean Island Backpackers is about $10 cheaper and is also centrally located: http://www.hihostels.ca/westerncanada/166/HI-Victoria.hostel http://oceanisland.com/

  Visiting Victoria with friends in late May or June Hello! I am considering attending UVIC for my PhD. I have been to Victoria a few times growing up and it quickly became one of my favorite cities. Anyway, 5 of us are planning to visit Victoria for a week at the end of May or June (still planning). I am wondering if anybody here knows of decent, inexpensive places to stay (hotel, timeshare, campgrounds...we're open to pretty much any idea. We would like to be able to shower though)? Also, are there any suggestions for things we should see or do (we already plan to see the gardens and visit UVIC)? td;lr-- Where to stay and what to do on Vancouver Island in late May or late June. Yes, will have a car. EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions so far! You guys (and girls?) are awesome! We didn't even think of bringing our bikes, but we will now. Also, we were considering the Ocean Island Inn if we can find some parking somewhere.
