Times Square Suites Hotel
Our stay at Times Square Suites Hotel was absolutely fantastic. Check-in was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond with their friendliness and assistance. About an hour after we checked out, I realized I’d left a ring on the kitchen counter. I called to ask if anyone had found it, and they immediately had housekeeping check—within minutes, they confirmed it was located. Even better, they offered to mail it back to me since I couldn’t return to the hotel. This kind of thoughtful, proactive service is rare and truly impressive. It’s clear this team genuinely cares about guest experience. Highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and exceptional hospitality.
Days Inn by Wyndham Vancouver Downtown
Staying at Days Inn by Wyndham Vancouver Downtown was a great experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Canada Place and within easy reach of the main shopping streets. While the room isn’t large, it’s well laid out and feels more spacious than expected. What really stood out was the surprisingly generous bathroom size, which made morning routines much more comfortable. Breakfast was included with no extra cost—simple but satisfying, with basic items like fresh bread and boiled eggs. It wasn’t fancy, but it filled you up without needing to go elsewhere. For travelers looking for convenience, cleanliness, and good value in downtown Vancouver, this hotel delivers exactly what you need without any frills. Highly recommend for budget-conscious visitors who prioritize location and comfort.

Out of all the places I stayed during my trip—including a few solid hotels—this one truly stood out as the absolute best. The room was incredibly cozy and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a warm, welcoming home away from home. The bathroom was spotless, and the linens were fresh and high-quality, which made a big difference in comfort. The hosts were incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They even shared local tips that made our stay so much more enjoyable. And then there’s the cat—adorable beyond words! He stole my heart the moment I saw him, and I couldn’t stop smiling every time he wandered by. I genuinely fell in love with him. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Vancouver.

Staying at Skwachàys Lodge was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and genuine kindness—always ready to help with tips, directions, or just a friendly smile. The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep. Located in a great part of Vancouver, it’s easy to explore the city on foot or by public transit. The whole atmosphere felt welcoming and authentic, reflecting local culture in a thoughtful way. I’d definitely book here again on any future trip to Vancouver—and I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know.
The Cambie Hostel Seymour
Staying at The Cambie Hostel Seymour was a fantastic experience, especially for the unbeatable location. Just a short walk from the SkyTrain station—only a few meters away—and with multiple bus stops nearby, getting around Vancouver is so convenient. I took the 19 bus straight to Stanley Park and arrived in no time. The hostel itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the whole stay stress-free. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, central place to stay in Vancouver, this is definitely a top choice.
Vanest
Stayed at a B&B managed by a Chinese host. Originally booked a hostel, but due to a staff error, it was already fully booked and we couldn’t check in. The team quickly arranged a transfer to another nearby B&B just a 10-minute drive away—no hassle at all. The alternative place was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. While the initial mix-up was a bit stressful, the staff handled it professionally and with great care. Their quick response and willingness to help made a big difference. Overall, despite the hiccup, the experience was positive, especially considering the value and friendly service. Definitely worth recommending.
English Bay Hotel
Staying at English Bay Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Vancouver. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with ocean views from the room and a short walk to restaurants, shops, and even a local Chinese supermarket. I loved being able to grab fresh ingredients and cook a simple meal in the fully equipped kitchen. We warmed up milk and reheated bread using the microwave in the morning—so convenient! It felt like home away from home. The combination of easy access to nature, dining, and amenities made this stay truly special. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver.
Windsor Guest House
Staying at Windsor Guest House felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and full of thoughtful touches. The staff went above and beyond with genuine kindness, and the room was spotless, cozy, and well-appointed. Located just steps from the subway, getting around Vancouver was a breeze. I especially loved the little extras: a freshly brewed cup of tea by the door and a handwritten note that made me feel truly seen. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience. High on comfort, value, and hospitality. Definitely returning and recommending it to everyone.
The Cambie Hostel Gastown
Staying at The Cambie Hostel Gastown was an excellent experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, compact but well-organized with comfortable bedding that made for a great night’s sleep. Common areas are thoughtfully designed—great kitchen facilities, working laundry machines, and free coffee available throughout the day. A small tip: bring your own toiletries, towel, and slippers as these aren’t provided, which makes things much more convenient. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the nearest subway station and right next to the iconic Steam Clock. It’s also super easy to get to North Vancouver without transfers. Whether you're exploring downtown or heading out on a day trip, this hostel offers both comfort and convenience at a fantastic value. Highly recommend for budget travelers and solo explorers alike.
HI Vancouver Downtown - Hostel
I stayed at this hostel and was really impressed overall. The place is quiet and spotlessly clean, making it a peaceful retreat after a long day exploring Vancouver. It's a bit of a walk from downtown, but the route is pleasant and well-lit, and the location is still convenient for public transit. I appreciated the free luggage storage—perfect for early check-ins or late departures. With such a great atmosphere, excellent cleanliness, and a smart price point, this is definitely one of the best budget-friendly options in the city. I’d stay here again without hesitation.
Kingston Hotel
The Kingston Hotel truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the place felt clean, peaceful, and well-maintained. The staff went above and beyond—they were friendly, helpful, and made me feel right at home. While it's a bit on the higher end of the price scale, the comfort, quiet atmosphere, and overall sense of security make it totally worth it. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Vancouver. It’s a great choice for travelers who value quality and a relaxing stay.
Tropicana Suite Hotel
Staying at Tropicana Suite Hotel in Vancouver was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to transit, restaurants, and shops. While the hotel isn’t brand new, it’s impeccably clean and well-maintained. I was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with a stunning city view overlooking the water and sunset—truly breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond: on the first night, I mentioned the room felt chilly, and within minutes, a warm blanket was brought up. Later, I noticed we’d forgotten to use a dish towel after cooking, so I didn’t wash the dishes. When housekeeping came by, they not only left two fresh dish towels but also took the time to wash the dishes for us—such a thoughtful touch! And when we checked out late due to our evening flight, they offered free luggage storage without hesitation. It’s rare to find such genuine care and attention to detail. This stay exceeded all expectations—comfortable, convenient, and memorable. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in Vancouver.
