I stayed at the Ambassador only for 1 night. While I was there I took a shower and staff let themselves into the locked shower cubicle that I was in apparently to fix the blocked drain. When they walked in on me they seemed to find it highly entertaining and after walking out just continued to knock on the door... More

I had been staying here for 10 days and was going to extend my stay for another week, but they wouldn't because the manager left a note not to. No one told me this ahead of time so when it came to my atttention that a so-called friend of mine had dropped by the night before and given my name... More

This hotel has now changed its name to Ambassador Hotel but is exactly as it was, it really is more of a backpackers than a hotel but for the price quite comfortable, although the room we had was terribly hot, we had to sleep with the window open and the door partly open though secured as there was no A/C....

I was in Vancouver for 4 days, and stayed here. It was a small cosy room, great to come back and unwind in after a day of sightseeing. Shared bathrooms, but these are very clean. Nice cozy lounge where you can watch TV and also enjoy wi-fi. Great friendly staff. Best thing about this place is that its walking distance... More

Apart from the lack of a lift, we couldn't fault the rooms, cleanliness and service at the Granville Grand. It amazes me that people expect 5 star accommodation from a truly budget hotel. After 2 1/2 months travelling all over canada, we found The Granville the best in it's class.

3½ stars, totally. Since our flight arrived in the evening and it was way past regular check-in time (I had sent an e-mail where i asked for extended check-in time) I was expecting problems but there were none, the guy at the reception was really nice and truly intrested in what we had to say. All the rest of the... More

The Granville Grand offers European style accomodations, which means shared bathrooms. There are two full baths per floor (men/ women) and two half baths; individual vanities can also be found in the room. In general, our room was pretty acceptable- clean sheets; a dresser, TV, and mini-fridge. However, there was no closet but a triangulated bar from which to hang... More

I loved staying at this hotel. Very friendly people and excellent service. The people at the front desk are very nice. Great deal for the price you pay.

The Granville Grand sits somewhere between being a 2 star hotel and a very nice hostel. My room, and others that I saw, were large, with Queen bed, wash bashin, TV and storage closets and rails. There is one shared shower (and toilet) and one toliet per floor, a shared kitchen (equipped with 2 microwaves, a large oven with four... More
