    Great location, friendly staff, and good rates, especially for Vancouver.
    We visit Vancouver often, and we like to stay at the Best Western Sands Hotel at the foot of Davie Street, right on English Bay. We like the location, we like the breakfast, (ask about the special breakfast deal for hotel guests), and although they are undergoing renovations…

    Exceptional service
    I booked this hotel on Hotwire after we had a canceled flight and needed to stay another night in Vancouver. I was initially a little bit disappointed when I saw the pictures of the exterior. They didn’t have an accessible room, and the bathroom in the room they gave us was…

    The stay would have been nice if I wasn't sleeping on Top of a LIVE BAND
    Hotel was nice. Staff was nice. Breakfast was good, albeit slow. 30 minutes to order and receive simple breakfast. Parking is tight. hope you are traveling in a compact, or you are ok with door dings. The room I was given was right on top of the bar which had a live band…

    Great service
    Had a great stay at this hotel when I was in the area for work. There was a minor leak in my room and the carpet was wet, and the staff offered to move me to a different room, but as I didn't want to repack and move everything, they gave everyone that I was with free breakfast…

    Hello Thank You for the review of The Best Western Plus Sands. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us and I apologize about the leak you incurred. We were redoing the pipes on the 4th floor as part of our bathroom renovation and it resulted in a leak. I am glad the staff were very helpful in cleaning up the situation. I do also apologize about the slower service at night I will relay it to our night manager as we strive for amazing service. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip to Vancouver.

    Ocean view and Starbucks too.
    Best Western Plus Sands is right at the Ocean and Sea Wall. Being on the cusp, you will find it is easily walkable to any address downtown. Staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and comfy and location is near also to public transportation. We have happily stayed here…

    How large are the king or 2 queen suites with kitchen? I am staying 9 nights with my elderly parents. I’d prefer some privacy though I know there are no 2 bedroom policies. I am comparing this to the family rooms in he nearby Sylvia Hotel.
    I have only stayed in rooms with 2 queens...no kitchen.

    I am not familiar with the rooms at The Sylvia. Based on your concern regarding some privacy ...... the “suites” have ONE bedroom ( a decent size ) with either a king or two queen beds. There is ONE bathroom. The door from the bedroom will close and separate you from a SMALL sitting room and kitchenette ( where I presume you would use a pull out bed.). Having travelled with my elderly father, this would not work for me. I love The Sands but why not call them directly (or email them) and ask what they think ? Good luck !

    Does this hotel take cash or visa debit card as security deposit payment upon check-in?
    I would double check with the website or call them to be sure. A visa debit would generally be accepted but they will put a hold on a portion of that account to make sure it's paid. You could give them the debit card and then pay with cash at check out.

    "Ask for a front facing room that can see the beach. Some have small balconies."
    "Southside rooms offer views of the Bay - the higher rooms would be quieter against street traffic!"
    "Higher floors and facing the front of the hotel should give you a view (albeit at an acute angle) of the water front."
    "Higher floors have partial views of English Bay"
    "Look a other Motels/Hotels a few blocks away."
