The location is wonderful. The rooms are small but cosy. The sheets are lovely to sleep in. The market is right there for you to wander around in. You can take an Aqua Bus across to Yaletown and wander around.
What a wonderful place to spend a few days.

The hotel is uniquely situated on the east side of Granville Island, which is one of the major tourist attractions in Vancouver. Granville Island was an industrial area that was converted to tourism in the 1970's with a degree of success that has proved impossible to replicate in other parts of the city. It is now a collection of shops, restaurants, and marinas built around the hub of an amazing produce market.

The hotel is just at the edge of all this, on a relatively quite side of the small island. Its modest entrance gives a small boutique feel that hides the fact that there are more rooms that appears to be the case from the outside.

The staff is great and the rooms are top notch. The views are amazing of the city over the waterway known as False Creek. There are many beautiful yachts everywhere you look, including those moored right out front (unfortunately the slips are not available to hotel guests).

The only negative we encountered was that the hotel restaurant was OK but not great. Fortunately there are many others to choose from with a few minutes on foot all over the island. A spa would have been nice too, but there is a non-affiliated one very close by.

Loved everything about the experience, location proximity to the market and short drive over the bridge to the city, excellent price, excellent amenities, beautiful water/city view, excellent restaurant and bar, friendly helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.

I have not stayed in the Granville Island hotel for a year or so. My stay this time was even better than before. The room was updated and upgraded, the lobby looks amazing, and the staff were friendly as usual. You cannot beat the location -fantastic restaurants within a short walk and the sea wall, for running or strolling, is right there. Overall - another excellent stay.
