Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers decent facilities like a bathtub, mini fridge, and working space in the room which was comfortable and clean, although a bit grubby. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially when they moved us to a higher floor and carried our bags. The location is the highlight, being fantastic for exploring Vancouver by foot. The dining was okay but could improve in offering more food options for guests with dietary sensitivities. Overall, a good value for money option.
The hotel's location was perfect, offering easy access to public transit and situated on Granville Street. While it's a budget hotel, the price is fair for what you get. The rooms, though a bit small requiring shuffling luggage around, were upgraded so there was no outside noise disturbance. The dining was a bit notorious at check-in, but the Welsh pastries were definitely worth it.
The hotel was in a great location, with easy access to attractions and dining options. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but some areas needed maintenance. The service was friendly and accommodating, although lacking in tourist information. The dining experience was simple but good value. Overall, a convenient choice for a short stay.
The hotel is very well located downtown between the art gallery and Stanley Park, offering great value for money despite small rooms. The service is attentive, with staff willing to assist with bags. The location is excellent, being in front of the bus stop and near Stanley Park, making it convenient for visiting tourist places in Vancouver. The dining options, although limited, offer good service and value with Earlybird specials. Overall, a cozy hotel with a few limitations but ideal for short stays.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, close to main attractions in Vancouver, but the area felt a bit sketchy. The rooms were clean and satisfactory for a solo traveler, but noise from high heels on the tiled floor could be bothersome. The service was nice and helpful, especially when dealing with slippery marble steps early on a Sunday morning. The dining options were more than reasonable in price and the classic Italian dishes were a welcome convenience.
