Nos cancelaron el vuelo y entramos en el hotel un día más tarde, nos reembolsaron la primera noche sin tener por qué hacerlo. Un 10.

Great spot for a cozy stay!!
Pros:

Just had the most delightful stay at The Kingston Hotel in Downtown Vancouver! This charming spot is perfectly nestled right next to Fable Diner & Bar and just across from the ever-popular Cafe Medina. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to Vancouver Transit, Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and the Vancouver Public Library. The staff were not only super friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, offering great directions to all the local hotspots. Plus, the hotel is wonderfully quiet and equipped with all the amenities for a fantastic stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area! 🌟

Cons:

I liked it all but if I was to suggest 1 minor improvement; it would be a plug outlet close to the bed. There were several plug outlets in my room but they were at the desk further away from the bed. That's it!

It is good value for the money, across the street from a Michelin restaurant, excellent brunch!
Pros:

The staff were very friendly, courteous and prompt about any request. The location was excellent for my purposes, as I needed to walk to the QEII Theatre daily. It is a very old, family run business. They have "outlasted" the crazy expansionist tendencies of extremely high, modern housing in Vancouver, thankfully.

Cons:

Carpeting could use a change. The building is lovely, but a bit quirky. The elevator is old and slow, the handrails for walking up and down stairs (which I do a lot) is not always connected consistently.
