For the price, it's a great choice to be close to QE Theater.
After I found out I was in the room not in the photos, they gave me the room I requested. It had a view of English Bay. It’s a dated hotel. I knew that when I booked it, however, it’s always the odours, especially in the elevator, that isn’t expected. The bed was comfortable. Nice hot shower/bath. Also a kitchenette which we didn’t end up using. We walked everywhere we wanted to from the hotel.
Great location on the west end, near beach and lots of restaurants. Walkable to Grandville Island and Stanley Park. Parking is a pain and large vehicles can't use the hotel parking which is much cheaper than other nearby options. Hotel furnishings are dated but spacious rooms for a good price.
Very good location and an affordable stay. Very close to the beach and lots of dining options. It is very old school, but our room and bathroom were clean. The carpets and kitchenette flooring could definitely use a revamp, and the same goes for the flooring in the hallway/stairwell. Having the kitchenette with a nice-sized fridge was a plus! Also, very comfy beds and clean bedding.
We had a quiet restful sleep here in April 2025. We were surprised because we arrived at 10pm on a Friday & the neighbourhood was lively with folk in the streets. Our room faced out back & thankfully very quiet! The hotel is old, not much to look at, & all the eqt /furniture in our room was old, but it was remarkably clean & the staff very friendly. Lastly, & all so important along w cleanliness & safety, this was the cheapest place to stay in West end Vancouver! Thank you!
The English Bay Hotel offers a cool and laid-back 1970’s vibe. It is located in a very peaceful and friendly area of Vancouver. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and kind. Thank you, English Bay Hotel.

Back at the English Bay Hotel in Vancouver! The rooms are cozy, warm, and have a cool 1970's vibe.

I normally like four or a five star property however for a two store it was wonderful. The beds were extremely comfortable and the view was spectacular and the staff was really good with my requests.
The English Bay Hotel offers genuine service and hospitality in an ideal location. The rooms have a 1970s kind of vibe, which can be remarkably refreshing in today’s fast-paced and pretentious world. Thank you, English Bay Hotel.
The staff were really nice and and that made my trip worth it. They were always saying hello and waved. They were very informative and have excellent advise for where i could find a resturant or places to eat.very family friendly, i will definitely stay here again and recommend them to family and friends thankyou 😊
It's certainly an older, outdated hotel, but is our favorite to stay at in Vancouver -- you can't beat the price and location: what a great area! Rooms are always clean, you get a full kitchen, and a view of the beach!
