Great staff and nice, clean, safe facility; but, be careful walking around the immediate location. There is a large homeless population nearby.

Room was spaceous and nicely decorated with indigenous art. Friendly and helpful staff, nice facilities, comfy bed, conveniently located to transport and walkable distance to town - enjoyed our stay! Free savories and coffee from an indigenous brand were nice and expected - gave a great start into the day. Unfortunately, the hotel is located in a troubled neighbourhood, which can make you feel unease, especially at night. Nonetheless, would stay again.

The staff were very nice, the property itself was really nice. The only thing I didn’t like was the area in which the hotel is located. I did not feel safe walking back after the concert. This however is no fault of the hotel. I did not realize the area it was in, therefore my fault.

Vancouver stay
Cheap and cheerful place. Located near the unfortunate side of town but close to Gastown and a walk to the city centre. Friendly staff good for the price in Vancouver. Comfy bed.

I would stay here again. The room was really interesting and unique and was good value for downtown Vancouver. There was also a roof top garden and sauna. The staff were very friendly and there were baked goods available in the morning. It was also just a short walk from the bus stop. The only down side is that it is right on the border between a touristy area (Gas Town) and a rather sketchy area. However, it is easy enough to avoid the sketchy area by heading west out of the hotel for a block or so before going north towards Gas Town.

It’s important to know that there is a lot of homelessness and drug use in the area but we walked back from the concert at 11:00pm with no trouble. This hotel is a great option for accommodation close to the Roger’s Arena for concerts. The hotel is well kept & has beautiful artwork throughout. The bed was comfortable and the room had great amenities. The croissants and coffee in the morning were delicious. We would stay here again.

The hotel staff were SO great - accommodated requests, gave recommendations, etc. the property itself was nice and the rooms were spacious. I only had two complaints: the room’s AC units are very loud and when they kicked on in the middle of the night they’d wake me up. Two: while the area is very walkable to Gastown and Chinatown areas, there’s also a lot of people hanging out on the street by the hotel. I didnt have any issues, everyone was minding their own business and no one was aggressive, but it was still a little bit unsettling.
