Convenient location near cruise terminal. Felt safe in the hotel. There was a large homeless population in the area, and they were using the alleys as bathrooms today.

10/10 Excellent

We stayed there to attend a conference. It was located well for us to walk to both the conference center and the BC Stadium. The staff was responsive, sending us up more great coffee pods, hangars, etc promptly when requested. We would stay there again if in Vancouver
Tina, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel itself is very good but its location in a less than desirable area of Vancouver reduces its attractiveness for a return stay.
Elena, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean. We had a room at the back of the hotel that was very quiet.
Deena, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Heart of downtown Vancouver with great access to good food. As many mentioned a-lot of substance abuse and homelessness but don’t let that stop you from staying at this great hotel!
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved this hotel. The room was wonderful, as was the staff. We stayed in the King Salmon Suite. The decor was beautiful and we enjoyed the balcony. It is definitely a hidden gem of Vancouver.
Jason, 2-night trip

Barbara, 2-night trip

Joli, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a unique property. We felt safe at all times and the staff was wonderdul. The rooms were unique and clean. If you want to feel like you are supporting an effort to improve the lives of others - please stay here.
Deborah, 3-night trip

8/10 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.
