We liked the gym, room space was good. Room had a fridge and microwave which was handy even though we didnt use the microwave. Shower was great, hot water pressure was good. Wifi was good too- no issues there. Service staff is great, really polite and friendly. One of the staff offered to switch our rooms as the toilet extractor fan wouldn’t switch off but we managed to turn it off by switching the dial to ‘on’ which was odd but it did the trick. Location was great too, so close go granville, yaletown and quick bus to Gastown.
Extractor fan in the toilet couldn’t switch off at one point, it was very fiddly. One power socket beside the bed wasnt working but thankfully the other one did. Tv/ tv controller didn’t work. We watched netflix on our phones anyway. Heating turned on and off but the temperature overall was fine and we were comfortable. Overall value for money and we understand it’s an old building.

Fridge, microwave, coffee maker all pleasant features. Bed comfortable.
TV didn't work most of the time. The remote was hard to use and didn't work well.

Attentive and responsive staff. Common area kitchen and lounge were a plus. Great location. Carlos was excellent in addressing our issues and worked to come up with a solution that worked well for us. We truly appreciated this attention and professionalism in meeting our needs and making our stay pleasant. He is an asset to the property.
Housekeeping only every 3 days. Really not reliable timing, either. Some age shows in the elevators, hallways. Lack of working hot tub for patrons. Area has some road work which was somewhat problematic for walkers.

Checking in was quick and the staff was pleasant and professional. Our room was clean and quiet. One of the windows overlooked the street, as a result the room felt bright and airy. The microwave and small refrigerator worked as they should. The bed was comfortable and the climate control worked well. The room safe was easy to use. The hotel is centrally located and close to transit. We loved the rooftop patio!
Vancouver is a metropolitan area, so there are street people in the area of the hotel. Not the fault of the hotel, we felt very safe and secure. Unfortunately, guests of the hotel use the rooftop patio to smoke even though it’s not permitted.

The hotel is near many bars and clubs, Granville island and market and plenty of buses. The staff were wonderful, kind and attentive. The rooftop kitchen, sauna and rooftop are really cool. We cooked breakfast and dinner and met some lovely people. The rooms also have a small fridge and coffee machine. The room is big enough and the beds comfortable.
Granville street has a lot of poverty and obvious drug use. Although we didn’t feel unsafe, it can be surprising and sad. The hotel needs a few renovations. The full kitchen could do with more forks, pans and toasters (1 small toaster wasn’t enough). Overall- small things for the price.

I stayed here while attending a work conference. The room was great value for the price and the facilities offered, very clean and spacious, and the hotel was within walking distance of everywhere I needed to be. The gym was small, but no one else was using it at the same time as me in the afternoon/evenings. They have a communal kitchen and lounge on the top floor, which was spacious and tidy, and saunas, which seems great but I didn't get to use during my stay. They were also able to store my luggage after checkout as I had a late flight.
The only thing that could be improved is the addition of free breakfast - though they did offer a discount at the attached restaurant. I also wasn't able to access the rooftop. Some crumbs inside drawers/cabinets in the communal kitchen. The bathroom fan in my room made a weird intermittent loud noise when turned on.

Incredibly impressive corner room with lots of light streaming in. The mattress was very firm the way I prefer. You can sense this older building has had many thoughtful upgrades with lots of attention to style and detail. Some mid-century modern foyer design, along with hallway carpeting that looks fresh with a tasteful diamond pattern in gold/navy. Interior room furnishings are updated and stylish, yet simple...on trend with minimalism vibe. Extremely efficient and well-appointed with space to maneuver. Superior bathroom lighting for putting on make-up. Smart laundry line in shower. Exceptional service from each staff member from front desk to maid service to TV maintenance for a simple fix. Absolutely LOVED the cafe White Spot attached to (but not affiliated with) the hotel. Excellent brussel sprouts, famous burger, perfect soups.
The bathroom flooring seems ready for an upgrade, replacing worn dated tile to match the darling midcentury vibe created elsewhere. The hotel has premium access to BC Stadium, but there are a couple streets you will want to avoid while exploring.

Location was good.
Room was little smaller than we expected. One king bed instead of two double beds would have been good. Electrical outlets next to our bed did not work so we had to use the other outlets to charge our devices. Initial staff when we checked in were not very friendly. We were given a room first which wasn’t very comfortable so we had to move to another room. One of the staff, Carles (I think) was great and made our stay more comfortable by attending to our needs. He was very kind and friendly. If not for him, our stay wouldn’t have been that good. He was the one who gave us a better room. Though we paid for breakfast when we booked the room the options were limited which was disappointing. We ended up eating breakfast only 2 out of the 5 days we were there.
