Only good thing about this hotel is the close proximity to everything outside the hotel. Steps away from Granville Island amenities and close to downtown Vancouver. However, the hotel itself sucks! The rooms are so outdated. The bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood. My husband didn’t even sleep at all. Fitness area and hot tub area was outdated, not clean, etc. For $500/night you’d expect way way more. Do yourself a favour a pick a different hotel, even if it means a commute to the island. You’ll be disappointed going with this one.

We enjoyed our fourth stay at the Granville Island Hotel in early March. It was great to bundle up and walk to the public market for a morning coffee and pastry, wander the shops and enjoy a variety of restaurants, including a fantastic smoked salmon Benedict breakfast at Dockside. We'll be back again for another family meet-up weekend!

The staff was great, restaurant had lots of options with incredible views of the bay and city sky line. Granville Island has so many interesting shops, the walking paths around the bay. I highly recommend this location, the rooms were cleans and comfortable and if you have kids, lots for the kids to do in the immediate area.

This hotel gave us a room that was quite disappointing compared to our first stay. There was no view of the creek, just the parking lot. The windows were covered with wooden louvered shutters that did not darken the room from the street lights outside and made the room very dark during the day time. The thin quilt did not offer a warm bed in a cold room on a winter night when we arrived. I had to ask for extra blankets. The room was not cleaned after we had been out all day and we had to leave to have it cleaned around 4.00 pm. Why did the housekeeper schedule this for remaining guests? We will not be returning to this hotel.

Dear bromovancouver, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It’s through insights from our guests that we can refine our services and ensure a better experience for all. We're truly sorry to hear that your recent stay did not reflect the high standards of hospitality we aim to provide, especially considering your previous positive experience with us. We understand how disappointing it must have been to not receive the room type you were expecting and to encounter issues with the room's comfort and the timing of our housekeeping services. It's disappointing to learn that these aspects did not meet your expectations and negatively impacted your stay. Our hotel aims to provide a peaceful and comfortable environment for all our guests, and we regret that we missed the mark during your visit. We are one of the few hotels in Vancouver to offer housekeeping services daily between 10 am to 4:30 pm, striving to ensure all our guests' accommodations are fresh and welcoming without causing inconvenience. We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our housekeeping schedule and for the inconvenience of having to adjust your plans to accommodate our cleaning times. We take your comments seriously and have shared them with our management and housekeeping teams to review and address. It is our goal to not only meet but exceed our guests' expectations, and your feedback is invaluable in this pursuit. While we understand your decision, we sincerely hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to your comfort and satisfaction. Please feel free to reach out to us directly for any future stays, so we can ensure a room that meets your preferences and a stay that is seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you once again for your review. We wish you the best in your travels and hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve.

Granville Island Hotel is located a short walk from downtown Vancouver and all that it has to offer. Furthermore, there are many amenities on the island itself: restaurants, shops, bike rental. The staff at front desk is very helpful and always answers with a smile : - ))

Love this place- as soon as I see the outdoor fire fountain and walk in past the fragrant flowers lining the entrance I feel like I’m home again. The service and housekeeping is always excellent and I love being so close together the market and everything else the island has to offer.
