Good price, friendly staff, an old hotel but well maintained. I walked the 1.7 miles from downtown along Hasting Street. I would not recommend this unless you are trying to score drugs or view the homeless. There is a bus that runs along Hasting Street so you can bypass this mess. Nearby Commercial Street is lively for food and shops.

Give this one a skip

Generally lousy experience. The room was tiny and very dated. Felt like the furniture hadn’t been changed since 1952. Not enough power outlets to charge our tech and no USB ports at all, which would have been fine if there were plugs. The carpet felt filthy although the room overall seemed clean enough, just old. No bathmat in the bathroom and we didn’t even use the shower because there was mold on the caulking. The volume on the tiny tv didn’t work. But the worst part was the noise from the downstairs nightclub. We were alerted by the hotel ahead of time that they hosted events but the noise level was simply inhumane. Our entire room shook from the base until 2-3 am. And the hotel isn’t accessible. No elevator and quite a few stairs so if you have mobility issues do not stay here. Would definitely not recommend this hotel. (The staff were nice but that’s the only good thing to be said really.)

We chose this hotel for the convenience of going to Canada place to embark on an Alaska cruise. The room is over priced, hallways are dirty, noisy and the room we had very small with a seriously outdated bathroom. The whole hotel needs updating. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the food\ and drinks in the restaurant were pretty good.

This is a great little hotel if you are just looking to sleep and occasionally relax. It is by no means a luxury hotel, but it is conveniently located close to The Drive and is clean and comfy. Staff are lovely, attached pub is good, free parking is close and while there are people around who you may feel are sketchy, it is safe and not different from a lot of busy areas in major cities. I will stay again.

There is a nightclub in the basement playing and VERY LOUD music that shook the walls until around midnight. Hotel was very out dated and in poor condition. The Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no elevator, and all the rooms are upstairs. I would strongly suggest you go somewhere else.

If you’re looking for an affordable, clean room in a safe area with lots of food shops and other points of interest then this is the place. Not many frills here—it appears to be a converted building that served as a theater ages ago. No elevator or air conditioning in my room but not an issue most of the year. Worked great for a single guy that needed a place to overnight. Older folks might need someplace more accommodating.

Staff and service were excellent, and the price was great. Bed was comfortable and I liked that there was a fan already in the room. Cheap Uber rides into downtown, so the location was actually very convenient. Seems like there are some fun events happening on the property (drag shows, etc). Felt very safe while I was there. Unfortunately, the walls are very thin, and it's easy to hear people in the hallway. I could hear my neighbour talking and snoring on the other side of the wall. I had to move to another room so I could sleep the second night. Both rooms had significant traffic noise from outside. The bath/shower in the second room didn't drain properly, and both showers had hot water issues. If you're a light sleeper or picky about amenities, I would avoid. Great if you need a cheap place to say and want to have an adventure! 👍

Yikes

Avoid this hotel. They say they are in a safe neighborhood, but there are bars on the windows. You think parking is behind the hotel but it’s not- you’ll get boxed in. Disappointing to me that in the two emails they sent ahead of time, they said nothing about parking. The parking they do have is a surface lot next door, right on the bus line. I honestly expected the windows of the car to be smashed the next morning. Gratefully they were not. Room was outdated but clean. Bed was quite squeaky. Didn’t matter, cause your’re not sleeping with all the street noise, even with ear plugs in. The two plusses of this hotel is that it’s a 20 minute walk to “the drive”/little Italy and a 5 minute uber to Gastown. Not a place I would recommend to friends.

Staying at the Waldorf

The room on the street side was extremely noisy all night long. They were very helpful in changing us to a quiet room. It is an older hotel but one can see that they are really trying to keep it nice. The staff was always very helpful and friendly.
