2nd stay at the Loden and will return again next year. The hotel is close walking distance to wide range of restaurants, the convention centre, the water...
Excellent staff, comfy rooms, clean, well-appointed...nothing to complain about.

My friend and I loved the Loden Hotel. It is centrally located and fairly easy to find and close to Stanley Park. The room was lovely and the bathroom bordered on epic--that was the best shower I'd had in a long time. The room was decorated very sleek and modern yet warm. The linens were amazing and the wifi in the room was free. They use Molton Brown bath products, which I don't love but I know that many, many people do. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant in the lobby was pretty good, too. (I wouldn't make a special trip to eat there but we had a pleasant brunch there before heading out.) Overall I would absolutely stay here again. But I would find my own parking because it was $40 for one night of parking. That is significantly more than I wanted to pay. Lesson learned.

My girlfriend and I were fortunate to discover the Loden. The rooms are terrific. You'll find all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay at this hotel (the room came with a handheld steam iron - you don't see that everyday). The neighborhood is very quiet yet close to many coffee shops, grocery store, and restaurants. Melville is not a busy street, so unloading the car was a pleasant experience without traffic rushing by, and also made it very easy to get in/out via valet.

Walking through the other noisy streets of downtown Vancouver can be a bit much after a few days, so when returning to the surroundings of The Loden, it was like walking into a sanctuary where we could rest after a busy day of biking, hiking, and mingling through the crowds.

But The Loden truly excels because of the staff. Super friendly, polite, and extremely helpful people who are genuine. Andre the valet was especially top notch. This hotel is a hidden gem off the beaten path. We look forward to going back soon!

Hotel Loden is well located within easy walking distance of downtown shops, the marina and also the park. The rooms are a good size and the staff are very helpful. The breakfast was ok, but not great and the room rate is quite expensive for what you get overall. However, good spot and nothing to really complain about, just not great.

Great Hotel in Vancouver.Good location and service.highly recommend as a good hotel for a holiday or business stay. Restaurant is excellent as well. Rooms are quiet and comfortable. beds. ............

OK... so I read the reviews and the Loden is indeed a little farther away. We asked for and received one of the larger, upper floor rooms (suites). It was beautifully appointed and the amenities were very good. (If you're a tea drinker, see if you can get a few bags in the morning in the hallway for later.) We were able to get a deal that included free breakfast in Tableaux and that was very good. They have a taxi but it mostly drops you off and you need to find your way back. The first night we got soaked but managed to find a taxi on one of the other nights. The exercise room was odd - there were instructors in there and they made you feel like you were in the way. (Since my daughter was in gymnastics season, she needed to work out each day.) Note that they did have a yoga mat in the room but there wasn't really any yoga program on the tv to do yoga. You needed to either bring your own or just do whatever you're used to doing. Everyone was so nice, though, that it was a good stay. (I want to particularly compliment a French manager who happened to be there one morning. He really understood what we were looking to find and made great suggestions. Many of the younger staff did not really have enough knowledge to make suggestions or give directions well.)
