I managed to book this hotel at a reasonable rate but was a bit apprehensive after reading all the reviews. First thing when I checked in after an over 14 hours flight, lovely Eric at the reception took pity on us and checked us in straightaway at 10am! I find him to be more than helpful and ready to help... more

Ideal location at the lower end of Georgia Street, 10 minute walk to China Town and only 3 or 4 mins more to Gas Town. A 15 minute walk will see you in the heart of downtown Vancouver. A 10 minute $10 cab ride will see you at theCanada Place cruise terminal. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and a decent... more

Pros: - Excellent location for events at GM place / going downtown - Secure parking ($11 a night) Cons: - Window was covered in bird poop - Carpet between bathroom and bed was soaking wet - Pigeons created a next in the wall between rooms. Could hear them all night - Elevators take FOR EVER to get to your floor... more

I was very disappointed with all the time we had wasted in the elevator as the security cards were not being read properly... more

Stayed there for a hockey game. Staff were extremely rude and the hallway smelled like a university dorm. Though it was low priced for downtown Vancouver I would've expected a lot more and afterward found much better deals to be had. Never again. more

This shabby hotel needs work. The first room I had was next to the elevator, which made a lot of noise. It was a tiny room, all bed, hardly any floor space, and no drawers for clothes. I called and asked for another room and they obliged. It was bigger (still no dresser drawers) and farther from the elevator. Called... more

We stayed here in July of this year. We were in town for a bachelorette party and we had two rooms. When we booked, we had asked for adjoining rooms or two rooms on the same floor if adjoining rooms were not available. We booked 2 or 3 months in advance. When we arrived, we were told that only one... more

myself my wife and 2 children stayed at the Sandman in vancouver and were very worried with the write ups we saw prior to coming out fron England. How wrong we were to be worried. The Hotel is situated in the most convinient part of town for visiting Vancouver with excellent shops and restaurents nearby, we would recommend Rickys Diner... more
