Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were very spacious, had a beautiful walk-in shower, and were overall very nicely decorated. I loved the fresh look and the Nespresso machine. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Vancouver. However, the floor was a bit slippery, which was a small downside.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were really clean and had a charming touch with exposed brickwork, a powerful shower, a comfortable bed, and plenty of space for bags. The service was awesome, with friendly and kind staff who were more than accommodating. The location was ideal for exploring attractions like the Vancouver Library, the Art Gallery, and the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and it was just a two-minute walk to The White Spot for breakfast. The dining experience was sufficient to keep me going with delicious pastries, yogurt, and fruit. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had its charms but had some drawbacks. The rooms, though modern, were smaller than expected and tended to get warm even with a fan on, yet they served their purpose for a family with 2 teenage boys. The service, while super friendly and helpful, lacked a cabinet in the room. The location, near Gas Town and with good access to attractions, was slightly marred by nighttime noise and the proximity to a less desirable area. The dining experience was impressive, providing a top-notch continental breakfast. However, there was a note about raw fish. Overall, a mix of good and not-so-good experiences.
The hotel had charming rooms with the most comfortable bed and bedding, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. However, the dining area was a bit small for the number of guests, which sometimes spilled into the reception area. The service was top-notch with incredibly helpful and friendly staff.
I felt the same way about the hotel. The rooms are beautifully styled and cozy, but having the bathroom shared in the hallway was a bit inconvenient. The service from the staff was super friendly and helpful, although the noise didn't quiet down as promised at night. The location is excellent for exploring Vancouver, with key areas within walking distance, although the presence of the homeless in the Downtown Eastside was unsettling. The dining options were limited, but the assortment of French breads and pastries was a highlight. Facilities were basic but met my needs.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated, large, and very clean, with a very comfortable bed. However, they were a bit on the smaller side. The service was top-notch, with super friendly and helpful staff who even went out of their way to assist with parking. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of the city center, an older area of pubs and restaurants called Gastown, and with easy access to public transportation. The dining experience was sufficient for me, with a great start to the day. Overall, a lovely place to stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a cozy ambiance with original hardwood floors and brick walls but the rooms were very tight for two people with luggage. The noise from guests walking around can be bothersome as it's an old building. The service was efficient but not particularly friendly. The location is very central, close to metro stations, yet the surroundings might feel unsafe. The dining experience was enjoyable with high-quality dishes. Some facilities could be improved, but overall a decent value for money.
The hotel offers a great location near Gastown with convenient accessibility to station services and bus services. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, providing a good night's sleep. However, noise levels can be a concern at times. Dining could use more variety beyond mainly sugary items, and the 9 am breakfast closure might not suit late risers. The hotel lacks fresh fruit and yogurt options. Overall, the value for money is decent, but improvements can be made in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small-ish but very quaint, and I was fortunate to have a nice view over the neighboring buildings. The service was friendly and helpful, although not consistently warm. The location was great for exploring Vancouver, but there were some issues with the portable air conditioning unit. The dining options were basic but satisfactory, and the hotel facilities were decent.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were simple but great value for money, although a bit small with the bed against the wall. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but the overnight attendant could have been more welcoming. The location was superb, close to where I needed to be and within walking distance of many attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a top-notch continental breakfast. Overall, a decent choice considering the price.
The hotel is in a prime location in downtown Vancouver, close to various attractions and restaurants. The rooms are well-appointed and light-filled, although some noise can be heard. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate different needs. The dining experience offers good quality food, but more variety, especially in fresh fruit, could enhance it. Overall, a great value for the money with minor noise inconveniences.
The hotel room was tiny and overpriced for a shared bathroom setup; however, it had the most comfortable bed and bedding, which was a cozy retreat after busy days exploring the city. The service was helpful overall, although not particularly welcoming. The location was excellent for exploring Vancouver, especially in quieter areas, despite some noise at night. The dining experience offered a simple but satisfying start to the day. Facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
