I was checking this hotel out because the price seemed so reasonable. I was aware that it was in the downtown Eastside.....the roughest part of Vancouver...It has more than its share of street people(who basically are harmless), but this hotel keeps its frontage clean, and the hotel lobby is clean and tidy. I asked to check out a room, which for the money was decent enough. The hallways were a little musty smelling, and could use a good airing....but the room itself did not smell of must. Why I did not stay at this hotel however, was the attitude of the twenty something desk clerk. Yeah perhaps it aint the fanciest hotel, and maybe you feel your job sucks...but that was the worst reception I have ever received from a hotel clerk....ever. I was not opposed to providing ID, but when you basically threw it back at me when I said I wanted to check out other hotels, basically sealed the deal. Unsmiling and unhappy......Sir you are in the wrong line of work. I stayed at the Days Inn....where for thirty bucks more, I at least got a desk clerk who looked and sounded like they were happy to have the business. I suggest another line of work.…
The Patricia Hotel is a fabulous, extremely central place to stay in Vancouver. Although I am a senior, I know that the neighbourhood is really safe so I don't hesitate to go out and about, even in the evening. It is also extremely close to transit, has knowledgeable Front Desk staff who care about you and your stay and who will offer great suggestions re tours, local attractions, and restaurants, a variety of clean, comfortable rooms, really friendly daily housekeeping staff, and 24 hour security in the hotel and adjoining parking lot. They also have the best hotel rates in town, even during the tourist season. The onsite pub/restaurant features local beers, including their own incredibly delicious Classic Lager. The food caters to everyone and I have especially enjoyed their many salads, burgers/wraps, poutine, etc. One of my favourites is their Salmon Burger and it comes with a great side salad or fries. The free and low cost music sessions include Monday night and Saturday afternoon jazz and Wednesday night Blues, and it is incredible - the musicians are often world class. If you are a Heavy Metal fan this is also the place to come. Be sure to check the Pat's Pub website for event listings and their menu. 1 Share…
The staff was very kind and caring. Good location (we walked to the center), BUT dangerous. There are many homeless people around, it wasn´t so nice to walk there by night and try to find the hotel. Needed to be alert. That makes a nice hotel much worse. Price was okay, the room was pretty dirty, but the nice staff made our stay better.
Booked this on-line. Arrived from Ontario to discover location in the scariest part of city. Felt very unsafe! Stepped into lobby to find water leaking into buckets. Old & broken down. Nothing like photos online! Very deceptive! Clerk at front desk had "attitude" when we asked for refund. Cancelled my credit card to avoid being charged. We hailed a taxi & left :(
