This boutique hotel is a blast from the past. Funky stairwells, wide hallways and the character of the building is everywhere. For the price, this hotel was well worth a visit. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean. We had to ask for a kettle so we could make coffee in our room in the morning (we brought our own supplies - cups, coffee, cream & sugar. There's a Tim Hortons 1/2 a block away & a Cora's breakfast 2 doors down.

We had a King Suite. The carpet was not laid correctly and was a tripping hazard. Major rolls that kept catching. Since it was in the direct path to the washroom, it was a concern. Bathtub did not drain properly. As I took my shower I stood in a couple inches of water. Old building issue I think.

Perfect Location to get around Downtown Vancouver. There is a very good Breakfast right next to the hotel. The rooms are clean and they make an effort to clean the rooms everyday when you're gone. You get everything you expect from a 3 star hotel. The staff is also very friendly. Would recommend if you are on a budget for a small trip to Downtown Vancouver

The Location is GOOD in Downtown Vancouver… everywhere is walkable, but the gentle hills can take a toll if an extended stay…. But the #6 Bus is handy running along Robson St…. So many food options on Robson St, or a 10 minute walk over the top to Davie St finds many more as well as at the end of the #6 Bus Route at English Bay. I had two stays… a Three Night, and this SIX night…. The room for the six night was better than the three night, better location in the back corner of the hotel as opposed to the front facing onto Occasionally Noisy Robson St… also the bathroom was bigger and in better condition than the first stay.

I was happy enough with it.

Room was a good size, two comfy beds with extra pillows and blankets in the closet. Fridge is a good size if you'd prefer to have drinks in your room. Being so close to many restaurants and shops made it easy to grab a bite early in the morning or late in the evening, depending on our plans.

The windows don't have screens in them, so if you want fresh air without running the A/C you do run the risk of bugs getting in. Pretty small concern overall though.

For the price and the location it felt like a good bargain! The interior of the building was well-kept and staff were polite and friendly. Check in and check out was supremely easy.

The pillows were a little on the thin side, and I wish the property was pet friendly. The exterior of the building is older and needs a little bit of work, though in fairness it did seem as though some renovations were taking place at the time.

Old hotel with no elevator. Great staff. Fabulous location and excellent value for a solo traveller

Of course there is some noise as it is right on Robson street. I turned my AC unit on and used the fan as white noise to block out the city noise.

Absolutely fine stay for the price in Vancouver. Our room was very spacious and clean and comfortable, we stayed 2 nights but could have stayed more. I liked the architectural charm of the lobby area. Location was unbeatable. You can walk the entire CBD from here, so close to each coast and walkable to stanley park, 15 min. I think people with all the complaints of this property might be a bit fussy.

Might be nice to have a microwave and an iron in the room. Fan/aircon was quite noisy but couldn't hear with earplugs in. You do have to carry your bags up the stairs so if you can't do that, find a place with a lift.

The staff at the front desk was phenomenal. (Older gentleman with glasses) Very kind to let us check in early, gave great help with public transportation and any other questions we had. Location was great near Stanley Park and the shopping district. The room was huge and the bed was very comfortable!

Seems a bit unsafe with extension cords looping everywhere in the public spaces.

excellent location easily reachable by the city centre skytrain stop. 15-20 min walk with suitcases through shopping area. The staff were excellent in accommodating us, even changing our room to one at the back as we were an older couple. easy walking distance to most city centre attractions and events. The hotel may be a little dated and worn but it is very clean with towels changed every day and sheets on bed made up each day. good wifi, lots of hot water day and night. It is not a posh hotel and really more an hotel for the budget conscious traveller that needs somewhere safe and clean..

nothing

I loved the charm of a hotel from a different era. Reminded me of something I'd seen in an Agatha Christie movie. Beautiful marble floors chandeliers art glass panels in the doors, and woodwork details. From a Time that was slower and more restful. Loved the location.

Sadly because it was of a different time the hotel was without a lift. I have mobility issues so it was quite a big deal for me. At the time the hotel was built we were not so paranoid about sound deadening properties so there was a little bit of noise. Certainly not sufficient to deter me from staying there.
