We usually stay with friends in Vancouver but I have always wanted to stay at the Granville Island Hotel as the Dockside Restaurant is one of our favourites in the Vancouver. Our opportunity finally came this past weekend when we were attending a concert and needed to stay in the city. We were not disappointed. No view room was available... More

This is a terrific hotel in a great location. The rooms are nicely appointed. Ours had a small balcony. The restaurant is excellent with well prepared foods, great views, a lovely outdoor seating area (with space heaters for cooler weather). And the staff in the hotel is accommodating and friendly. The hotel is at one end of Granville Island, while... More

We stayed one night during a work event that was taking place on Graville Island. The staff were very friendly. The patio size and location at the restaurant is one of the best in the city. The food was very good as well. The room was very small but modern. The a/c was right next to the bed and was... More

We stayed one night. Hotel was very clean, bed very comfortable, wonderful modern bathroom facilities. Small balcony overlooking the park and ocean. Great location if you want to explore Granville Island and/or for a romantic getaway. Also good bus transit to downtown Vancouver. The fitness centre/jacuzzi/sauna was closed for renovation. This was not posted on the website and we were... More

We had stayed at the GIH once before in 2011 and enjoyed our stay so when we were going to be staying Vancouver our first thought was to book a room at GIH. Our travel plans changed and we were only able to stay one night. At check in, both desk clerks were cheerful, positive, polite, helpful and called us... More

Maybe luck wasn't on our side this past weekend. The good: The room was very clean and spacious, and you couldn't find a better location on Granville island. The bad: 1. The girl (in her late 20s probably) checking us in at the front desk was very rude and unprofessional. No eye contact and our question was answered meagerly with... More

Thank you for your comments! I really do appreciate your feedback. First I would like to start by apologizing for the poor front desk service. There is no excuse for a rude or inattentive desk clerk and action will be taken to make sure that this attitude is corrected. We do pride ourselves on exemplary service, so this clearly feel...

I stayed here for two days while en route to the Okanagan Valley. From the outside it looks pretty ordinary but once you get past that and the lobby, the rooms are very comfortable although quite small. Excellent beds and linens made for a good sleep. TV had BBC which is always a bonus! The front desk staff were very... More

We spent the weekend after a cruise up the coast from Los Angeles. A perfect way to unwind. The room was lovely with a balcony overlooking the street. Service was excellent and the food outstanding. The is island is full of quaint shops, working artist studios and a huge indoor market. Didn't want to leave!

booked the executive suite directly with the hotel. The room(s) was spacious but on the basic side. Staff was fine, nothing usually to report either way. Parking was a problem as there are not enough spaces. Liked the location, liked the size of the room, and thought the value was good.
