Arundel Mansions Hotel

Sky train noise

Egy felújítás már ráférne különösen a légkondicionálás, az árnyékolók és a nyílászárók esetében. Nagyon zajos a mellette futó vonat miatt és a régi ablakok nem hangszigetelnek.

바닥이 나무이고 오래돼서 걸을 때 삐걱거려서 아랫층이 너무 신경 쓰였습니다.
바로 옆 창문 높이로 전철이 지나서 소음이 아주 심했습니다.
선풍기만 껴도 차단기가 내려가서 몇번이나 차단기를 올렸습니다.

1. There was very dirty. Guys, hire a normal cleaner and let him show you how to clean! If there is dust as thick as a finger on an antique radiator, it creates the feeling of old furniture, not an antique. There was a lot of dust on the windowsill and other places. There were also dried stains on the upholstered furniture. There were streaks on the mirrors. The bathtub had stains from detergent that hadn't been flushed properly. The area under the toilet was also dirty. All of this made the room look very untidy and didn't create the feeling described in the hotel description. 2. The metro ran right next to our windows, making it really noisy. 3. The floors creaked a lot. 4. There were broken items that needed to be either fixed or thrown out: chipped dishes, missing handles on the dresser, and a burnt-through tablecloth. 5. The room description didn't match. It said it had a view of the river and mountains, which wasn't even close. This is a big minus for lying. 6. Cons: Very dirty. Guys, hire a normal cleaner and let him show you how to clean!

Bed was terrible. Squeaky floors, smells in hallways

The fridge didn’t work and we had to throw out food. There was no bedding for the second bed. The toaster didn’t work. The couch was very old and stained. We placed a blanket on it but the blanket had large holes. The architecture of the building was nice, but nothing has been updated. What they call “charm” I call lack of effort. The kitchen supplies and linens were obviously thrift store finds. There were people sleeping in the “on-site” parking.

We were so hopeful of a historic experience given the age of this building but unfortunately it in no way lived up to our expectations. Sadly the building and its furnishings have been allowed to deteriorate to a point where it feels more condemned than authentic. The furniture is worn to the point that it has tears in the upholstery and is in need of either replacement or restoration. The flooring (rugs) needs a deep clean as do the kitchen and the bathroom and pretty much all surfaces. The bed needs replacing and the towels need updating so they don’t feel like you are using something that you would use when washing your dog. The place just felt dirty.
With some honest care and appropriate upgrading this could truly be a magnificent old building.
Having said that you cannot change the location.
Being right next to the skytrain was extremely loud but to be fair we knew that when we booked.
The most troubling and heartbreaking thing for us was the unbelievable amount of homeless people at both the front and rear entrances to the property. I know this is in no way the fault of this property but it made for an uncomfortable experience when there was drug paraphernalia laying in front of the doorway. At least have it removed for the health and safety of your customers.
As much as we loved the idea of living in such a historic place we left after 1 night of a 2 night booking and found somewhere else to stay.

This is a very outdated hotel.Rarely a person in reception. The bathroom was really not ok. Bit dirty and no stopper for the water. Never cleaned the room, never made a bed. Despite telling in advance that the guests are elderly and come for medical reasons (small OP), they were given a very noisy room. Directly by the train.
