Location was excellent. Nearby shops and amenities that didn’t require getting on a bus unless you didn’t want to walk. Staff were excellent and the showers and toilets were functional for the age of the building. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

The location is convenient for walking around downtown, the staff were friendly, the price was decent.

This hotel is in a beautiful, old space that has been nicely updated. Check-in and checkout went very smoothly, and the staff were friendly. There was a sink in our room, which was nice since it's a shared bathroom. The location is very convenient to all of the places we wanted to go.

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend and were very happy with our choice! Simple rooms right in the thick of downtown but in a spot that we found to be quite safe and quiet compared to others in Vancouver we’ve stayed. Simple place, nice staff, awesome location :)

For a 100+ year old building it was good. I stayed in a private room which was a good size but it was hard to fall asleep at night do to the stained glass window above the door that let the hallway light in. The building could use some small updates but due to its age I can understand why it’s difficult to do so.

Since it’s an old building it’s quite loud, mostly just the floors creaking when people walk in the halls, we didn’t hear our neighbours in their rooms though. We also saw a mouse in our room and found droppings under the sink and in the closet so despite the fact that it looked pretty clean, it wasn’t. We let them know and they refunded part of our stay which was nice. Also, the bathrooms have separate areas for showers and toilets and the toilet area is very tiny and not fully enclosed so it doesn’t feel very private.
The location is convenient for walking around downtown, the staff were friendly, the price was decent.

“2 nights to lay our head”
- • Leisure trip

This place is more of a hostel than a hotel. The room was quite small and basic and the bed was not particularly comfortable. The shower and toilet were also on the small side.
The location was great as the main down town attraction and gas town were about 10-15 minutes walk. Also the sky train station was only 5 minutes. The staff were quite helpful, the cost was reasonable as Vancouver is very expensive.

“Very nice stay. Definitively I would return if I needed.”

The only small problem is the noise coming from the streets. Also, there are a lot of activities near even late at night, so if you are a light sleeper, perhaps you need to bring some earmuffs for sleeping. Of course, this is not the hostel fault, but yet, a negative point.
The location is very good, near everything. The staff is very friendly and the accommodations are very clean. The bathrooms are shared, but also, very very clean. To access the building you just need to push in a door code, which helps a lot. They have more than one type of bedroom. Depending on your situation, I suggest you pick up a semi or a private one.

There is little sound insulation between rooms. Kitchen sink and bathroom sink are combined into one, which is somewhat unhygenic. Unfortunately there are no co-ed dorms.
Toilet and shower stalls are individual and gender inclusive. Although there was no mini-fridge in the room, a large communal fridge was provided, along with materials to label foods. The location is great: close to the central library as well as Granville and VCC stations.
