I think that you get what you pay for here. The rooms are basic and in need of renovation but they are very reasonably priced ,and are clean with plenty of hot water and soft towels.The common room/lounge is very nice and has lots of helpful literature on Vancouver and free tea and coffee. We found the front desk staff... More

This hostel-like hotel is 2 block from Staney Park. The rooms are very spartan but clean. Beautiful area, and again, 2 blocks to Staney Park, with the 9 Km sea wall to wak or run along, bike trails, beautiful gardens, restaurants, outdoor theatre - lots to see and do. More

This hotel is located close to Stanley Park, close to downtown and great restaurants, bars, ocean front and the sea wall. At 70$ a night, it's pretty good. I got in early on Friday morning and didn't expect to be able to put my things in my room but the room was ready so I was quite happy with that.... More

Super location and very good price for central Vancouver. However, could do with a little TLC. Very basic room. Bed was clean and comfortable. Furniture was old. No phone. No elevator. No complaints. Good for sleeping but wouldn't want to spend too much time in the room. Great restaurants just five minutes away. More

This was a better deal than staying at either Jericho or SameSun hostels. It can be difficult to find a quiet hotel room anywhere in Vancouver, but THIS IS IT! Finally a place where I can sleep like a baby without hearing a party going on in the street below. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, the shower... More

I got a room on the first floor and it was nice, clean and comfortable. I used the shared shower (which no one ever used but me it seems!) but had a toilet and sink in my room. The toilet was a convenient suprise as I payed for only the basic room. It was also more reasonably priced as I... More

We had a brilliant stay at the Buchan. Staff friendly and helpful, very knowledgable about the local area and even allowed us to extend our stay by an extra night. The front room is full of pamphlets, maps and information about what to do in Vancouver. The staff were available 24 hours a day and were always polite. Our room... More

This place was great! I felt like I was staying in a piece of history. The room and hotel itself is very basic and old, but well maintained and very clean. It also has an exceptional location in the best neighborhood in Vancouver. More
