I Really Love the Granville Island Hotel.
Pros:

Staff is very friendly and helpful. The Hotel is beautifully located.

Cons:

I was a little disappointed in the server in the restaurant- dining alone - I didn’t feel very comfortable- with our interaction or service. That had definitely been better.

Great place to stay for a day or two.
Pros:

Great location. We enjoyed using the Aquabus, to get to Downtown Vancouver.
We were able to store our luggage for hours and use a showerat the hotel, after check out, while we filled in hours before our evening flight.

Cons:

As an Australian traveller, I wish there was a kettle in the room and real milk, not just a coffee machine and creamer.

It was a calm place to stay close to artisans, the waterfront, and good restaurants.
Pros:

We didn’t expect a view but we’re thrilled to receive a room with an incredible view of the city, water and boats.

Nettes Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist super um schnell in die Innenstadt zu kommen . Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut.

Unser Zimmer hatte Blick auf die Außenterrasse des Restaurants, die Leute saßen direkt vor unserem Zimmer. Die Bettwäsche hatte Flecken.

THE place to stay when visiting the Vancouver area.
Pros:

Great location. Nice room. Very friendly and helpful staff - especially Pavel at the front desk. Convenient that they have e-bikes to rent. Rode over 20 miles around False Creek and Stanley Park - a must do on a nice day.

Cons:

Cost of parking.
