If you enjoy Hookers, pimps, drug addicts, vagrants, mentally disturbed people, and security bars and grates on everything--you found the right area. If you enjoy the inside smelling like an ashtray (hallway worse than room), air conditioning by open window (with the noise from the road below coming in) and table fan, fire sprinklers plumbing as decoration on the ceiling,...

I spent here 20 days. It was the best deal in Vancouver: 2 minute walk to China Town, 5 minute walk to Gastown, 10 minute walk to downtown, 1 minute walk to Main Street, a bus stop just round the corner with 4 lines heading to downtown. Fairly old Vancouver building (1919 or earlier) but well maintained, with lovely historical... More

I was not told by the hotel staff that they were going to charge me $5 a night to park. When I checked in they said it came with the room. If I had know I would have parked on the street for free or got a much nicer hotel. They make it look cheap for the room but then... More

Have read other reviews of the Patricia, some critical of it's location, here is our experience. Since my wife owned a Restaraunt on Robson street West End for 28 years, we were very familiar with the area, and the skid row people didn't concern us at all. They are pretty harmless amusement. We stayed here 6 nights, while winding up... More

Stayed for 2 nights, and would gladly have stayed longer. The room was very clean, the bathroom was large with a huge deep tub. Mr Noordin at the front desk was more than happy to share low-cost and FREE places to see in this lovely city. The other staff were just as helpful and friendly. Due to the great location,... More

Special Thanks to Nurdin for making our stay very hospitable and comfortable. We had a fantastic time at Patricia, the area seems dodgy but in reality it is a safe place, and great location not too far from downtown. The staff are very friendly, helpful and respectful. There is a pub joined to the hotel with live music almost every... More

Located in the heart of a major tourist side and with budget in mind this is the place to be. East Hasting Street is a absolutly must see for every traveler and visitor of Vancouver. Everybody will find out by himself what East Hasting means and tells.Pure education! Without walking twice the East Hasting you can't even say you have... More

The Budget inn Patricia Hotel was good compared to the price. about the location: it is a bad neighbourhood, but good distance to downtown. would recommend Powel street, if your walking home from downtown at night..

taxi driver told us it was a bad area, we didnt know it was this bad. As soon as we turned on Hastings Ave we saw a few hookers, bums everywhere. When we tried to check in they charged us even though we were booked with travelocity. I was worried bout that, but travelocity did not end up charging us... More
