It is very close to the bustling centre of Vancouver and easy walking distance from the waterfront and Canada place but is found hiding in amongst the surrounding residential towers that dominate the immediate surrounds. We drove straight past it first time as is quite understated. The staff are all it seems very young but totally devoted to a real and apparently genuine service. Valet parking is available, inexpensive for the centre of Vancouver and very efficient. When your car is returned it arrives with two cold bottles of water placed in it. We did not use the room service but rather opted to use the bistro which was excellent every time. Continental breakfast is good however those looking for a hot breakfast are likely to be disappointed by the breakfast wraps which are the only thing offered. The WiFi is fast and stable and free without limitation. It is obviously not a large hotel but one I would recommend and would return to when in Vancouver. The rooms are provided for and the bathrooms interesting with excellent shower that is not over the bath.

We were greeted and the car and our bags dealt with immediately. My dog was the star - welcomed at check in, lots of pats and friendly new faces saying hello. Our one bedroom suite was spacious and very comfortable. Dog biscuits, a cozy bed, bowls and of course a copy of Modern Dog for my pup. Also a very cute sign to indicate "pet" in room. For us, a very , well presented and tasty charcuterie plate and a bottle of wine set the mood for the night. The Loden is in a wonderful location and within walking distance to almost everything in the city. They offer bicycles and in just minutes you are in Stanley Park riding around the seawall with no need to worry about traffic.
All of the staff are very professional, attentive and super friendly. While in Vancouver I would recommend a stay at the Loden, it is a smaller hotel which allows very personalized service with a very warm and comfortable atmosphere.
A special thank you to Megan (sales), Monica (reception) and to Kevin (bellman).

Best hotel in Vancouver - well Conde Nast Traveller - your pie hole is a lie hole. Don't get me wrong - it's sort of ok, just - but it's a long ,long,long way from being the best. I had to ask 6 times for a confirmation e-mail and have still yet to receive an e-mail copy of the final bill having asked 7 times now. Room service was terrible - A salmon bagel came with 4 postage stamp size slices of salmon and for $20 for that and a coffee and orange juice I had to complain - I had to argue to get a couple of extra slices. No coffee or tea provided in the room. The air conditioning sounded like a Van Der Graff Generator it was so noisy! The view from our room was the wall of a huge condo block complete with occupants in various stages of undress. We were told a car was available to guests, however, every time we asked 6 times - it was not. The reception staff were great as were the bar staff at the Tableau.The food apart from the oysters was very average and at times inedible.Booked soley on Conde Nast review - hang your head in shane reviewer and I hope you enjoyed whatever treat you must have been given to influence your very rose tinted spectacles.
