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.

Iconic hotel in heritage building. Mixture of some "old" & some "newer" rooms, but no a/c. Premium location with southwest-facing views over English Bay waterfront & seawall walking. 300m to Stanley Park entrance. Dozens of restaurants within 1km walk. Popular onsite lounge / restaurant with views. Parking $32/day with taxes. Lovely staff.
