the staff went over and beyond what we had expected. They went out of their way to answer and resolve any issues. The a/c was not working in our room. They immediately brought us a portable a/c unit that was awesome. They general manager was phonomenal. He gave us some much useful information. Every activity he told us about was awesome

Janet United States of America

Nice staff, lovely artwork, comfy bed (except maybe the pillows were too big, but that seems petty). Nice bathroom. It is close to things and the coffee was good. The staff was congenial and they have really good security so once you are inside all is well. It is close enough for a short walk to restaurants, etc.

Rebecca United States of America

Great location in an interesting part of the city, easy to use public transportation from the hotel. Our room was roomy and quiet, the bed comfortable. We liked the nonprofit nature of the lodge and its consequent ability to support native artists.

Linda United States of America

Skwachays Lodge was a great value place to stay! Though the location is not as 'central' as other mainstream hotels in Vancouver, it's location in Gastown is walking distance to lots of amenities (restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc). The room we stayed in was well equipped and very clean. The gentleman who attended us upon check in and check out was incredibly helpful and friendly. I would stay here again!

Ana Canada

Very comfortable bed and quiet room! Hummingbird suite was beautiful. Lovely front desk staff. Convenient location.

Olivia Canada

Staff was very warm and friendly, room was clean, comfortable bed, location is very walkable and accessible to many amenities.

Danielle Canada

This feels like a hidden gem. The outside is very understated and it’s a bit unconventional because it’s part of an art gallery/store. But the room itself was BEAUTIFUL and had all the normal hotel amenities. The staff was super friendly and was even able to accommodate an early check in. We learned that the first few floors are artist residences and the top two floors are hotel rooms. The location was great for walking around Gastown and we were happy to support an indigenous owned business. Parking was $25 which is reasonable for the area. We would definitely stay there again!

Phuong-lan United States of America

We loved the Long House room we were upgraded to, and the friendly staff, delicious breakfast. Not a lot of choice for breakfast, but there was, was excellent.

Anique-marie Austria

The staff and location were excellent. Always a short walk to the nearest train station and bus stop to get us on the transit. The hotel staff was very friendly and gave us great recommendations on food and places.
