The hotel offers decent facilities like a bathtub, mini fridge, and working space in the room which was comfortable and clean, although a bit grubby. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially when they moved us to a higher floor and carried our bags. The location is the highlight, being fantastic for exploring Vancouver by foot. The dining was okay but could improve in offering more food options for guests with dietary sensitivities. Overall, a good value for money option.

The hotel's location was perfect, offering easy access to public transit and situated on Granville Street. While it's a budget hotel, the price is fair for what you get. The rooms, though a bit small requiring shuffling luggage around, were upgraded so there was no outside noise disturbance. The dining was a bit notorious at check-in, but the Welsh pastries were definitely worth it.

The hotel is very well located downtown between the art gallery and Stanley Park, offering great value for money despite small rooms. The service is attentive, with staff willing to assist with bags. The location is excellent, being in front of the bus stop and near Stanley Park, making it convenient for visiting tourist places in Vancouver. The dining options, although limited, offer good service and value with Earlybird specials. Overall, a cozy hotel with a few limitations but ideal for short stays.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, close to main attractions in Vancouver, but the area felt a bit sketchy. The rooms were clean and satisfactory for a solo traveler, but noise from high heels on the tiled floor could be bothersome. The service was nice and helpful, especially when dealing with slippery marble steps early on a Sunday morning. The dining options were more than reasonable in price and the classic Italian dishes were a welcome convenience.

The hotel rooms were spacious, with a very comfortable king-size bed and a ready-made sofa bed for our daughter, making it adequate for our one-night stay in a convenient location. The service was friendly and accommodating, although slightly off-putting at times. The location was incredibly close to various restaurants and shops on bustling Robson Street, perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience, priced reasonably at $6.30 per person, was not exceptional. Overall, a mixed stay with both positive and negative aspects.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were good for one person and very clean, but the sound from the tile hallway outside was very loud, especially on weekends. The service was lacking, with rude staff during check-in, no iron or coffee making facilities, and a tiny basic room. On the bright side, the location was excellent, close to great eateries and major attractions in Vancouver. The dining was just okay, not living up to the advertised standards. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. The rooms are a bit on the small side with some worn-out furniture, but the value for money is good compared to other options in the area. The location is safe and convenient for exploring downtown Vancouver, but there could be more food options for guests with dietary restrictions.
