The room rick book for us was perfect , big thanks to him and the staff for a great stay. Breakfast and the room was awesome , probably one of the best of this type i've had. Location was good ,within walking distance from where we wanted to go.
CanadaVERY helpful staff, great design, and love love love that it supports the Vancouver Native Housing Society!
United States of AmericaExcellent information provided on the room we stayed in including historical and cultural background on its name and background of the artists featured on the walls in the room. Fantastic attention to detail.
United States of AmericaGreat location and competitive pricing. Paid parking was underground and we could come and go Breakfast was wonderful
CanadaThe staff was fantastic. The hotel is small so messages and communication don’t get lost between staff. The rooms are well-appointed with custom desks and nightstands. The place is just really cool compared to standard hotels.
United States of AmericaThe concept of housing for First Nation artists on the lower floors as well as the hotel is great. Beautiful art throughout. Great breakfast area nest to the gallery.
United States of AmericaGood selection of items for breakfast, guest lounge area was lovely & comfortable.Excellent staff.We were given a bottle of purified water ( no plastic bottles!)to take up to our room in the evening.
CanadaThe staff attitude, dealing with our late arrival, locked door, no reception and the resulting feeling of not having any options after a very long day of travel from Cairo to Vancouver and finding our planned hotel locked. Secondly, the very easy and pleasant conversation with the shop manager the next morning; both of these events put a very positive spin on what could have been a very unhappy story.
United States of AmericaLove the vibe, warm staff and little gift shop. Very short walks to amazing restaurants, galleries and good shopping in Gastown. Quick cab elsewhere. Yes, there are homeless people around but are doing their thing. We had no one ask us for money or approach us in any way, even after dark. Loved the staff, the art and the overall experience. We will go back and would be happy bringing our young son. We never felt nervous or unsafe.
United States of AmericaUpon arriving at this unique Boutique Hotel, Rick greeted us at the front desk. His cheerful greeting and warm personalized service made us feel like we were being welcomed by a friend. We were very impressed by his kind attention to our needs, from giving us the perfect quiet room to standing outside to hail a cab and this was so appreciated. The room was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfortable with big comfy pillows. Soft fluffy robes were also available. We enjoyed the continental breakfast with the freshly baked pastries and banana bread. A suggestion to provide bread and a toaster for toast to go along with the jam, marmalade and peanut butter would be nice. The parking is very secure which is definitely a must for this part of the city as there are quite a number of street people in the area. We loved being within walking distance of many attractions including, Gastown, Chinatown and Science World. We will definitely stay here again!
