Pros:

The team couldn't have been more helpful, they were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The location was also ideal, right in the heat of the action and a short walk from the sea wall and Stanley Park. The room was simple, but had everything you need for a stay including a little kitchenette.

A tidy but older hotel in an excellent location.
Pros:

The location on English bay is excellent. Our stay was during the world cup, so the noise from the street was obvious until around ten at night or so. There are lots of good food choices nearby.

Super Lage mit diversen Abstrichen
Pros:

Großartige Lage direkt am English Bay Beach und dicht am Stanley Park, Bushaltestelle und diverse Restaurants direkt vor der Tür. Günstiger Supermarkt in nahe gelegener Einkaufspassage und Zimmer mit vollständiger Küche. Matratzen waren ok.

Cons:

Hotel ist sehr einfach und in die Jahre gekommen, die Möbel alt und zusammengewürfelt. Vor allem aber war es sehr laut (Straßenlärm und Gastronomiebesucher) durch extrem einfache und alte Fenster, die sich nicht richtig schließen ließen. Fenster und Fensterbank waren eklig klebrig und auch in der Küche und im Bad durfte man nicht allzu empfindlich sein (Abfluss etc).

Très bien, très bon emplacement
Pros:

très bon emplacement près du Stanley Park et de l'English bay beach. Loueurs de vélos à proximité. Arrêts de bus à proximité. Personnel très sympathique et à l'écoute.

Cons:

Un peu bruyant la nuit : beaucoup de restaurants et donc beaucoup d'animation

Large, clean rooms, but dated.
Pros:

The staff was great and did their best to accommodate us. Though dated, the facility was clean. We like the location.

Cons:

Some items in the room are dated (stove) and didn't work well. The street front rooms can be noisy.

A hole on the mattress.
Pros:

The location is perfect, just 100 metres fron the beach

Cons:

There was a huge hole on the mattress that made impossible to sleep without pain. Everything was dirty and the kitchen covered with oil. I don’t know what happened to the floor but they were sticky and smelly.
I asked the staff for help with my baggage and he replied: “You can do it by yourself.”

Belle découverte proche de la plage et d'un des plus beaux parcs du monde, presque au centre ville
Pros:

La situation de l'hôtel est vraiment idéale, proche de la plage et du parc. Départ de corse à pied et de balade en vélo

Cons:

L'appartement est très vétuste mais le sommier est très bien et il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour rester quelques jours.

Great Vintage Hotel! Exceptional Value
Pros:

Absolutely love this little place. Came down on a whim for FIFA, and not much was available and we were so grateful to get a room here. The staff were exceptional, the room was super clean, and it’s very nostalgic with some vintage fixtures. It’s been recently painted. Beds were fresh, view was great. It was hot in the hotel, so thankful there was AC in the room. Full fridge, easy with underground parking.
