In addition, it is situated quiet enough. After a complete renovation the Magnolia was reopened in early 2013. For the three of us (couple with adult son) we had the following rooms: Diamond Room City View and Superior Room. Both are well appointed in a traditional style. They are spacious enough and have adequate bathrooms, nothing fancy but all you could wish for even if you are a demanding traveler. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">There is a spa \u2013 as the hotel\u2019s name implies \u2013 but we didn\u2019t use it. Neither did we dine in the affiliated restaurant. Continental breakfast was included in our arrangement. It was simple but served the purpose although not being memorable. Service-wise everything was okay. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In sum, the Magnolia is your choice if you want to be near the tourist attractions and if you are looking for well-furnished\u00a0rooms that are luxurious enough to satisfy also discerning\u00a0travelers and at the same time reasonably priced for the offered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"tab-stops: 9.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2530\" src=\"http:\/\/swisstraveler.net.mars.preview-kreativmedia.ch\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-1030x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-1030x682.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-768x509.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-1536x1017.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-2048x1356.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-1500x994.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/swisstraveler.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/C9E0D911-0566-4D80-B645-E5D6935EB28F_1_201_a-705x467.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"tab-stops: 9.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>Time of stay: July 2013<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well-equipped rooms in favorable location: The Magnolia was our choice for a two days\u2019 stay in Victoria in order to explore the town and its surroundings.
