The hotel is located in downtown Vancouver and is a 15 minute walk from the Scotia Tower station which is on the Canada line. The Canada lines runs from Vancouver (YVR) airport and downtown. A taxi from the airport cost $31.00. The reception staff on arrival were very friendly and check in only took a few minutes. There is a restaurant and coffee shop in the hotel. The gym is modern and open 24/7. If you wish to park a car at the hotel the cost is $17.00 (+tax) per day. The one bedroom suites come with kitchen and separate bedroom for more privacy. Our friend stayed in a studio suite which also had a kitchenette yet the bed was in the same room as the lounge. There is an IGA supermarket a short walk down Burrard street which is open until midnight most nights.

The Burrard Hotel Vancouver

The hotel is older and could use a tiny bit of maintenance. However, it was super clean and comfortable. The courtyard was beautiful and I loved the little touches that they put around the place like the cute little signage. The staff was friendly and there was complimentary bottled water and coffee in the room. The location was good too. We were easily able to walk to the main shopping streets. The only downside was the $35 a night for parking!

We go into Vancouver quite regularly and have stayed in many different hotels and decided to try the Burrard for the first time via a Be Vancouver promotion. We stayed two nights and loved the place! The front desk staff are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms, although not as spacious as other hotels we’ve stayed in have everything you need for a comfortable stay and are absolutely spotless. It has a very “retro” feel to it and I really enjoyed the courtyard with the trees lit up, the open fire pit and the music. I felt like I was in a tropical resort when we walked into the courtyard despite the chilly Vancouver weather. The wi-fi is free along with complimentary bikes and they even offer a pass to the nearby Steve Nash although I didn’t make use of that. There is a coffee shop and restaurant on either side. Had a nice chat with the maid as well who was also very personable. Will definitely stay here again.

Free parking although they are a little tight. Lots of very good restaurants within walking distance. A 2 min walk to the Kingsgate mall. We have actually walked to Science World and to see Cirque once. A very short cab ride to see the Canucks or BC Lions as they are virtually next door.

Our two negatives at this hotel were the scruffy-looking evening receptionist and the fact that our room wasn’t serviced on the first day (we just received a shrug when we mentioned it at reception). We later found a form buried in a drawer which we should apparently have handed in, stating our servicing requirements but next time we just hung the sign on the door requesting it.

Apart from that though, we had a nice large room with comfortable bed and chairs and a peaceful night’s sleep. We were at the time able to enjoy the good choice on the breakfast bar. The staff were cheerful and attentive, as were the daytime receptionists.

Its location could be a disadvantage to someone without a car, as we were, as it involves a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest metro station (although there is also a nearby bus route). There is, however, a convenient shopping mall with supermarkets across the road and several restaurants, although we didn’t feel the need to explore these as the Italian one next door does delicious food.

Great neighbourhood for restaurant and coffee shop choices, access to the beaches and Stanley Park. Friendly staff. Small quibble with the older tub and tile surround in an otherwise well renovated bathroom. Good hardworking housekeeping staff.

We stay here whenever we are in Vancouver. The locations right on English Bay makes all events reachable. There are many good ethic restaurants within walking distance. The facilities are a little older, but have been upgraded beautifully. We always get an exceptional sleep due to comfortable beds, good bedding, windows that open to let in air, and the quietness of the area. The rooms are large, very clean, good bathroom amenities and a feeling of comfortableness. The staff are always very professional, helpful and smiling. We would not hesitate to recommend this facility to others and will stay here again.

Best Western Sands Vancouver

Located on Davie Street and across from English Bay beach, and a few short blocks from Robson Street’s shopping and dining.

Contemporary rooms come with free WiFi and flat-screen TV’s. There are also mini fridges and coffee makers. Suites add living rooms and pull-out sofas; some tack on kitchens and/or whirlpool tubs.

One night stay in August. Ideal location close to subway and Canada Place, We were upgraded to a suite – lots of space, harbour view,, but the bedroom and bathroom were both tiny…. the suite seemed to be two single rooms combined, Kitchenette in lounge of suite a bit strange for an expensive CBD hotel (though probably cheaper than the Fairmont almost next door), but useful. Furnishings w were a bit tired. However all was clean and quiet, ideal and recommended for our purpose of a one night transit.

The location is excellent close to ferry terminal, close to shops and eateries, also the shipping terminal for cruise ships. Staff were friendly, free breakfast. Rooms excellent with great view of the city, we had the high rooms on the top floors which offered great views.

In the Terminal City Tower with views of the mountains and waterfront, this luxury hotel is a 6-minute walk from the Vancouver Convention Centre.

It is a great location for concerts at pacific collision, very friendly staff. We had checked in on Friday and left Saturday, still felt welcome. The rooms are a bit outdated I think some updating of the room would be good to improve buisness.

We were here for four nights while in Vancouver. Fast, friendly check-in. Our room had two queen beds and a small balcony. Room and bathroom were very clean. Wifi was included, but no mini-fridge. The building/signage didn’t stick out, and we rode past the building several times before finding it – GPS kept taking us down the alley behind it where you can’t get in. Parking is underneath the hotel. Would stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel because of its excellent location close to the PNE grounds. An easy walk to the Pacific Coliseum. Hotel does not look to fancy from the outside but nice and clean and updated on the inside. Rooms were spacious and clean. Nice bonus was the free hot breakfast, good variety of various food items, hot and cold. Very helpful and friendly staff.

The Coast Coal Harbour is a very modern and comfortable hotel right in the heart downtown. You are just a few minutes walk from Robson St, the water front and Canada Place, Canada Line /SkyTrain and lits of shopping and great restaurants. The rooms are adequate size, clean, comfortable and modern. You will not go wrong with thus hotel.

I was here on business and the hotel is quiet, very good location if tending to business in the downtown area. If possible I would recommend a room with a balcony – wasnt put to use this trip due to weather however, I really like the option – very spacious balcony where you can relax in the “fresh” air…. such as it is in a city…. highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is filled with friendly and accommodating staff. I stayed for two nights and the front desk agent remembered my name and room number each time I went to the desk. The views from the upper floors were spectacular, the rooms were clean and inviting, the valets were prompt. I would definitely come back again. The only slight dislike I had was there was a valet-only option. Though the valet attendants were prompt, I wish I had the freedom to go to and from my vehicle at my leisure. Other than that, this hotel is everything I wanted.

This hotel is within a reasonable walking distance to the convention center. Love the route I chose to use had a bank along the way and a few (cheaper) eateries around various corners. Urban Fare is my stop! Had a nice view of the inlet and those beds … extremely cozy. Very enjoyable.

This was our choice for a 3-day stay in Vancouver prior to a cruise. The people were very friendly and helpful and the room was large and well cared for. Fresh cookies on the front desk in the evening! Walking around town is easy with this hotel as a starting point.

We were very satisfied with our stay at the Best Western Chateau Granville. We got an excellent value for a very good room in downtown Vancouver. The restaurant provided a very good breakfast. I also enjoyed a workout in the modern fitness center.

Our heater didn’t work with -2 degrees temperature. They brought a heater, our luck that didn’t work either. And there was no other room available that night. They brought up extra blankets.
The next day our room was changed and they also treated us to a great breakfast for 2. Jonathan was excellent and took care of the inconvenience that we experienced really well. We’ll stay there again.

I stayed here for 4 nights in August with my husband and 2 girls. The outside of the hotel looks quite dated, but don’t be put off! This reception area of the hotel is lovely and modern, and our room was really spacious with the most stunning view straight down Burrard Street. Arriving from the UK we were awake the first morning ridiculously early and were treated to the most gorgeous sunrise! The room was big – separate bedroom and large lounge/kitchenette. The girls each had their own fold up beds and the room was big enough to leave them both out and still had a sofa to sit on and admire the view! The pool in the basement was a bit of a disappointment, but we were too busy seeing the sights anyhow!
Superb location – IGA supermarket just a few mins down the road, a superior Starbucks over the road, 5 mins walk to Brekka bakery which was open 24 hrs (again great when we woke at 4am!), bus stops right outside. We were slightly concerned to find we were next door to a hospital, but it didn’t really disturb us – to be honest anywhere in central Vancouver you would hear the odd siren! Basically it was good value , spacious and clean so we would recommend!
