Pros:

Posizione ottima in pieno centro a Vancouver, struttura pulita e dotata di ogni comfort. Unica pecca, una delle due stanze è un po' troppo piccola.
Forse potrebbe costare qualcosa in meno. Nel complesso, ci tornerei

Nette Unterkunft mitten in der Stadt
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind sehr grosszügig was das Platzangebot angeht.
Die Lage mitten in Downtown Vancouver war toll.

Cons:

Der Feuer-Fehlalarm war spannend, jedoch eher beunruhigend, da niemand von der Hotelleitung den Lead betreffend Kundenkommunikation übernommen hat.

A Special Hotel with a Kitchen and Superb Staff
Pros:

In April 2024 I made a reservation to stay at the Carmana Hotel for a few weeks while searching for more permanent accommodation. Nine hundred plus days later, I'm still here and felt it was time to post a review and share my experience. Prior to the Carmana, I have stayed in different hotels across the globe, including five-star hotels in London, Dublin, New York, Toronto and Vancouver, so I'm a seasoned traveller.
Since checking into the Carmana on Alberni Street, Vancouver in 2024, I have felt very much at home. The staff are welcoming, caring and kind, with old school manners and the customer service far surpasses other hotels. The Hotel is spotlessly clean, well-managed and well maintained. This likely is the reason so many guests return time and again. I also know of tenants who moved elsewhere and later returned to the Carmana. Security is a high priority and something long-stay guests greatly appreciate. While in the lobby occasionally, I've overheard visitors get agitated when not allowed access to a suite without a key or a guest's permission. Unfortunately, negative reviews have later been posted online. This, in my opinion, is unfair to staff, especially when names are mentioned and false accusations are made. Government buildings now post notices asking that staff be respected. On occasions when the alarm has been accidentally activated at ungodly hours, I've tried to stay calm and follow emergency instructions rather than trouble staff. A fire alarm is scary, but knowing the necessary personnel are never far away gives one peace of mind.
In summary, the Carmana Hotel is a very special place to call home. The location is excellent as is the customer service. Thank you all for your courtesy, patience and understanding, with a special word of 'Thanks' to the Front Desk staff, who take care of day-to-day concerns.
Sincerely, AC

Huge, spotless rooms in a perfect location
Pros:

It was actually a huge apartment rather than a hotel room. Spotlessly clean, modern, equipped with everything needed. The downtown location is unbeatable, with sights, shops and restaurants right at your doorstep.

Cons:

While the quality and space are excellent, its price is definitely very high, even by Vancouver standards.
