Victoria City Hotel is a small budget hotel on Caya G. F. Betico Croes, the main shopping street in downtown Oranjestad. It scores 8.6 out of 10 from 554 guests on Expedia, which is high for its price bracket — but it is a town hotel, not a beach resort, and it is worth being clear about that before you book.

Location
Downtown Oranjestad, a 6-minute walk from Aruba Town Hall, 9 minutes from Renaissance Mall and 12 minutes from Royal Plaza Mall. Queen Beatrix airport is a 4-minute drive. The nearest sand, Renaissance Beach, is a 12-minute walk — so you are staying in town and travelling to the beach, not the other way round.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms include premium bedding, air conditioning, minibars, refrigerators, 32-inch LCD TVs, desks, showers, free toiletries and daily housekeeping. Free WiFi throughout. Free self parking is included.

Who it suits
People who want Oranjestad — the shops, the restaurants, the cruise terminal, the airport — at a price well under the Palm Beach strip. It is a poor fit if you picture stepping from your room onto sand, and there is no pool to fall back on.
