Ideal for visiting all of the places on Granville Island
Pros:

Beds were comfortable
Location was great for the market, shops and restaurants
Reception staff very friendly and helpful

Cons:

It felt quite dated, and the “spa” option wasn’t really up to scratch. Despite following the sauna instructions of heating the room 10minutes before going in, it wasn’t spa hot. The jacuzzi wasn’t filled up enough, wasn’t that warm and not all the jets worked.

Nuit agréable
Pros:

L'emplacement était super avec une jolie vue sur le False Creek.
Le personnel accueillant
Le lit était confortable

Cons:

Etant sensible aux bruits, la soufflerie de la salle de bain était bruyante, j'avais coupé celle de la chambre.
Les draps étaient un peu juste pour le lit, mal bordés et tendance à faire des plis

Beautiful property, great value for excellent location.
Pros:

Such a convenient location ! That was the main reason we booked , walk everywhere . We took Uber from Hullo ferry to hotel early in day , dropped off bag , told they would contact us when room ready ( check in 3pm) 1pm we were texted that room was ready ! Such a nice surprise . Rooms were very clean , bottles of water supplied , beautiful view , super comfy bed and pillows. Quiet stay …no traffic of course being in water and only a walk way. Will plan another visit and try hotel restaurant next time . Oh and the lovely ‘scent’ of the lobby !!! Not sure what they use ….so nice when walking inside !

just as expected and desired.
Pros:

Location was superb for our needs. I liked that the hotel was small and intimate - not a big brand name space.

Cons:

I accidentally booked a "pet room" but wasn't traveling with pets and couldn't get it reversed.

Excellent place to stay!!
Pros:

Granville Island is a great place to be in Vancouver. The public market is a wonderful destination for a morning walk. The hotel has a nice patio restaurant overlooking the harbor and the staff is always helpful. The water taxi runs regularly if you need to go into the city.

Cons:

Our room was small and hadn't been updated recently, but it was clean and the shower had a spray wand.

love waking up on granville island. beautiful morning strolls and evening stroll with the dog. safe
Pros:

We like that the hotel is pet friendly. we were given the 2nd floor when we checked in. we initially accepted and then we went back to ask and Pavel said he could arrange for that. Very willing to accomodate for a ground level - so that we could leave the hotel easier as our dog doesn't like to be too close to people and it can get quite closed in for her that when she is in narrow hallways and around the elevator.
For that, it was a great start to our stay.

Cons:

parking has gotten even more limited due to the excavation/construction in the back. one night we had to park in the passenger loading zone. we let the front desk know and he came out to check and look and assured us that it was acceptable to do so.

We enjoyed our stay at Granville Island hotel the staff really made the stay so pleasant and enjoyable
Pros:

Nice location on the water that made for beautiful walking along the harbor and down the street into the Granville shopping district. Property is clean and well maintained.

Cons:

The furniture was too big for the room, making the room feel claustrophobic and hard to move around in. There were two full-size beds in the room and probably should’ve only been one king.
