My little escape was very comfortable. The room wasn’t fancy, but it was large and clean and i slept well. I don’t usually eat much in the hotels where i stay, but the food here was excellent and i ate there everyday.

Nice time at a historic building in great locatio
Overall a great stay. All staff are welcoming and helpful. Washroom is a bit outdated, especially the shower but nothing to complain about really.

I stayed one night with my friends to celebrate my birthday. It was one of the nicest stays I’ve had in a Vancouver hotel. And I’m a local. The front desk staff was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, kind and just made you feel at home. We all had such a great time!!

Not worth the price, stay elsewhere
Nice location, but this place is way overrated. I realize it's a historic building, but the walls are paper thin -- I could hear not only my next door neighbors on either side, but also everything in the hallway, and the neighbor across the hall too! If I wanted to feel like I was staying in a hostel, I could have saved a ton of money and done just that. Also, check-in begins at 3PM, and I received a voicemail at 4:30PM asking me where I was... I was on a plane! And since I didn't answer my phone (again, on a plane), they charged my card for the first night as if I was going to be a no-show... seriously? If they cared so much about when I was going to arrive, perhaps they could've asked me more in advance, which they did not. This hotel just seems to be too full of itself, save yourself the money (and get some better sleep) staying elsewhere.

A good Vancouver drop in spot
A Vancouver institution. My room felt very dated, but overall the hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the view onto English Bay from the restaurant is lovely.

Quirky hotel, yes it's old with no air conditioning but none of that mattered. Staff all friendly, great location for Stanley Park and right on English Bay. About 30-40 minute walk to Canada Place but public bus 5/6 2 mins walk from hotel. Easy access to airport no. 5/6 bus to Yaletown Roundhouse then Canada Line to airport. Approx 50 mins total.
