10/10 Exceptional

Unique Hotel, enjoyed immensely!

Check in was quick & even though we were very early, they stored our luggage so we could sightsee & have lunch. Each room was decorated differently & unique! The hotel was an easy walk to “Chinatown”, Steam Clock or Hop on & off bus & Several restaurants

8/10 Very good

Nice people, nice interior, dicey neighborhood. A few blocks from the best restaurants and the Steam clock
Farrell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is close to Gastown and is within walkable distance to Waterfront station. Rooms are big and well equipped. They also provide simple breakfast like muffin and coffee. Price is relatively lower than other hotels in downtown. But one issue is it’s near a community centre and Tim Hortons where homeless people and drug addicts gather. Feel a bit unsafe during my stay.

Although you need to be aware of your surroundings in this neighborhood, the hotel itself is very secure. Great friendly welcoming staff. The room was an adequate size, clean and had everything you needed. If you needed anything else, the front desk person was more than accommodating. Loved the artwork inside the room and also in the gallery downstairs. Beautiful sauna and waterfall on the 6th floor. Plus you get a continental breakfast too! Will definitely stay here again when possible. Close to lots of amenities.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall good condition. Unique and antique while preserving local culture. God staff and friendly. Water pressure sauna and patio were only concerns. Located near Hasting street. Do your research in advance.
roman, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very cute hotel. Reception staff was very quick in checking us in and recommended a nice Mexican restaurant. Downfall was the stairs that we had to drag our heavy luggage up to our room. Once we got settled the room was clean, unique and very comfortable. There are a lot of homeless people in the area but the hotel is very safe
Michele, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel was lovely but no parking and no real help from the person who checked us in.
Nicole, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved the unique art design in the room. The stories of the artists that were shared with me by the host.
Cathleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was wonderful. Modern but artistically themed and very clean. A lot of thought was put into the decor. The neighborhood is pretty bad but the hotel was grest as was the staff. Only quibble. There is a pretty loud plumbing noise coming from the bathroom when others flush, I was ok with ear plugs but this is an issue. Thanks

Sharon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We walked into the lobby and it just stunk. Asked to could see the rooms we booked, they were totally unacceptable. The reviews that we had read online had to be false! They were so far from the truth. Even the Uber driver who took us to the hotel asked if we were sure, we wanted to stay since even he was not sure about our safety! Orbitz should verify reviews before they post them
