I think it must be difficult for a city-centre hotel to score highly, as there will be so much competition. However, our room had no noise issues, was a fair size, well appointed with coffee maker, and an amazingly comfy bed the size of most people's garden. Not expensive at all by UK or Canadian standards and close to the... More

This hotel is spotlessly clean, large rooms, comfortable bed, crisp white bed linen, and impeccably helpful staff. We stayed in an ordinary room, on the street side, but had no issues with noise at all. We usually stay at the big city hotels, but while this one is not five star, we found it excellent, and enjoyed our stay. It... More

We spent 3 nights here and wish we had more, the location is great public transport outside the door, bike rental across the street. There are beaches and Stanley park on the doorstep with there many walking and cycle tracks. Downtown and Gas town are easily in walking distance if you don't mind a 40 minute stroll....if that's not you... More

Thank you for the review and for staying with us. It certainly sounds like you experience the Westend to it's fullest. With the hotel being situated right in the middle of all the Westend has to offered it is the most ideal spot to stay.

We stayed here for the final two nights of a two week trip to Vancouver Island and Vancouver. We requested and received a king room mountain view on a high floor. The room, while hardly boutique hotel chic, was clean, quiet and comfortable and very reasonably priced (for Vancouver) through a Best Western promotion that was available at the time.... More

Located in a busy area, just down the street from English Bay/Stanley Park--which is beautiful! We were upgraded to the 5th floor, which includes their nicer rooms. Very posh! The bed was SO comfortable, and the room was great. The toiletries were better than I'm used to, and they had robes and slippers in the closet. The staff was very... More

The location of this hotel was perfect for us. We were able to hire bikes from across the road to explore Stanley Park, the waterfront was a block away, plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were also very helpful, and parking was easy. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed for a week after our cruise from Alaska. I'd done my research on TA and this sounded like a good place for us. The people I talked to at the front desk sealed the deal; I booked directly from the hotel and got a very good rate---it definitely beat out the search engine travel sites. When I made... More
