Review of the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel Vancouver
December 4, 2011
Hmm..I almost don't want to talk about this hotel as it might be
full the next time I try to stay. This is a very classy hotel,
with good service, food, comfortable and quiet rooms with great
blackout curtains...I usually find it difficult to sleep in
hotels, but not in this one.

Stayed with Coast Coal Harbour for three nights in Vancouver
while attending conference. Facilities were great and Hotel is
in a great location to access the city with a beautiful walk
steps from the main door. Staff are exceptionally friendly and
always with welcoming smiles and willingness to assist and make
your stay perfect. Conference meals were excellent! Thank you to
all!

Booked two nights via Hotwire and received about a 35% savings!
Our room was nice and updated; however the door joining to the
next room and the hallways door were both lacking any sort of
sound proofing.
The first night we were kept up by out neighbors watching TV,
and then in the morning we were woken buy them getting ready for
the day. It’s not that they were not being loud; it was just the
poor sound proofing between the doors. The second night and
morning were a little more restful, as we did not have anyone
next to us.
The entrance door leading to the hallways was also lacking any
sort of sound proofing, which was concerning for our own
privacy. We could hear clear as day, the conversations of guests
and staff outside our room. Both mornings, we were woken by
staff knocking on doors and calling out “house keeping” as well
as the opening and closing of a storage closet used by
housekeeping.
During our checkout, I was asked by the desk agent how our stay
was and I informed him of the noise issues. Instead of
apologizing, he informed us he does not receive this complaint
very often and because we booked our stay on Hotwire, we didn’t
have much choice in our hotel options. I told him we were happy
with the hotel and service but just thought he should know about
the issue. He didn’t seem too concerned. We had one room charge
of $75 for two nights of car parking and when he entered the
amount into the debit machine he only entered $14.04 (which was
our room number), so I asked him jokingly, if the amount was
correct and if he were giving us a deal because of our room
issues…. He said “opps, no I’m not” I thought this was the
perfect opportunity to make up for our two noisy night, but I
guess not.
Would I stay at this hotel again?..… Only if it were deeply
discounted.

I stayed at the Coast Coal Harbour for a few days in June, and
was really pleased with the value for money and location - I am
constantly amazed at the quality and value of Canadian hotels
compared to those in Europe.
The staff were friendly and courteous throughout our stay,
ensuring we were provided with maps and helping us to arrange
transport when we were ready to leave to make our way to the
coach station for the next part of our trip. A minor complaint
was that we were initially allocated a double room having booked
a twin, but this was quickly fixed and whilst we were out for
dinner on our first evening our things were moved into a
different room - unfortunately we lost the wonderful harbour
view of the first room and ended up in a room which overlooked
the neighboring office block.
The hotel is in an ideal location for exploring downtown
Vancouver, and we found we were able to walk to most places that
we needed to go to. However, it's not far from the local
underground station if you don't want to walk or are travelling
a little further.
All in all, I was very pleased with my short stay and would
definitely return on a future visit to Vancouver. |
