Guest Review Best Western Hotel Uptown Vancouver
13 October 2011
We stayed here in Sept and arrived at
5.30.in the morning to be greeted by the
manager
doing night shift. He was lovely and made us
welcome by opening the breakfast room so we
could make coffee. He also laid out Danish
pastries etc so we could help ourselves. The
rooms weren't ready as they were booked but
he organized for 1 room to be ready asap
so we could drop our bags and go out.
The rooms were spotlessy clean and very
comfortable and the beds were really good.
Overall we had a great stay and the bus
service is really good just up the road.
Would stay here again and recommend to
friends travelling to Canada.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of September (should have been 3, but
thanks to Aer Lingus spent 1 night at Heathrow). We were on the ground floor,
the room had high ceilings and was quite old fashioned but clean. Breakfast in
the morning was plentiful but a bit of a squeeze and as we were right next to
the breakfast room, there was no chance of a lie in as the chair scraping
started at 7am. The staff were friendly and helpful and there is a supermarket
right across the road. I would recommend the hotel to anyone staying in
Vancouver on a budget, it is about a 30 min walk to Gastown, but just be careful
as we met a lot of unsavoury characters just when you leave Chinatown and that
was only about 9pm.

After having staid at the BW+ in Kelowna, we expected much more from this hotel
and were extremely disappointed.
On the truly + side were the free parking and really speedy free wifi. Leave
your car here and grab the number 8 or 19 at the nearby bus stop and you're
quickly downtown.
Apart from this the hotel badly needs renovation and his rather gloomy.
Everything looks old and sad in this place.
The lobby is small and unpractical.
The rooms are average size and beds are too short if you're over 6 ft (my case).
The breakfast room is small and noisy and the choice of food limited and very
basic.
The elevator is slow and you have to wait for it ages.
Some of the staff are ok, some merely so-so.
I wonder why criteria are chosen by BW to grant the + label but this hotel
certainly does not deserve it.
Business centre is a joke
