The staff is always warm and welcoming,helpful and knowledgable of the ongoings in the city. My room as in my past experience was clean and prepared/ready... More

The hotel was below average, tiny rooms, no parking, rude customer service, not clean BUT two stars just for two things: 1. Restaurant was good and the atmosphere was fantastic for young people, couples, family, etc. 2. Location of the property - in the heart of the downtown where everything is happening. The street where the hotel is....actually the entertainment... More

The location was great; downtown Vancouver. The room was not so great. It was too small and it was out dated. My room was facing another building which was that great, but I know this is the downtown. The washroom had a weird smell when we entered. We called the front desk about the smell and they took care of... More

Paid $189 + taxes+ $.75 each for a few local calls and $19 unsecured parking came to $238.71 If I were driving a luxury vehicle or had any contents of value I would have been very uneasy about the open parking lot. The Room was tiny to say the least. Luckily we only had carry-on type bags. A traveller with... More

I stayed at this hotel on a week end. I was on my own. At first I was somewhat taken back by the numerous Friday night party-goers that were going to all the clubs/bars down the street. I asked for a quiet room and the friendly staff got me one. Admittedly the view from my window was of the rooms... More

My wife and I stayed here while visiting family. We were initially reserved at the Best Western right next door but they didn't have parking to accommodate my truck. The check in process was fine but trying to get the card reader to work on the elevator was hard! The hallways and our room had a definite funky smell to... More

I spent five days in HoJo, Vancouver. Hotel is on great location, within walking distance to Canada place, English Bay, Davie Street. Rooms are clean but most of all staff is super nice. Definitely would come back.

I stayed for 3 nights and was happy with the services provided by the hotel. The room was comfortable and as I had a room at the back, quiet. The location is good for all of downtown and you are close to good eating places. The fact the hotel has free wifi and a self service laundry is a bonus.
