Accommodation

We have reserved some inexpensive dorm rooms on campus for attendees. For more information about these rooms, refer to the University of Victoria Housing pages.

Please identify yourself as an IWOCA attendee when making reservations.

Off Campus Accommodations

There are no hotels in the UVic area, but there are many hotels in the downtown area. IWOCA 2011 will be held on the campus of the University of Victoria, which is about 8 km from downtown.
The campus is well-served from downtown by transit. For information on reaching the campus by bus, bicycle or car see maps. Short term bicycle rentals may be arranged through Spokes.

You can find hotels on expedia and reviews of them on tripadvisor. Or here are some suggestions:

Hotels on the Inner Harbour

  1. The Empress Hotel: A Victoria landmark.
  2. Hotel Grand Pacific: Downtown Victoria's only 5 star Hotel.
  3. Inn at Laurel Point: BC's first and only carbon neutral hotel.

Close to the Inner Harbour

  1. Executive House Hotel: Located downtown, directly behind the Empress Hotel.
  2. Harbour Towers Hotel and Suites: A short stroll from the Inner Harbour.
  3. Swan's Hotel: The pub has live music every night (a plus if you want to stay up and enjoy it but could be a minus if you like quiet).
