Typical Best Western with a little more comfort. The room was clean and
comfortable (a little on the small side) but the bed was outstanding.
Great decor in the room and a huge triple-sheeted bed...for people who
dislike hotel bedding...this will put you at ease. Lovely sheets, clean
and extremely comfortable.
The location is great, right downtown and within walking distance to
public transit (which I suggest taking. It's nice not having to be in
traffic and pay for parking all day!)...also being on Granville street,
it's the perfect location for shopping and going out at night.
The fitness room and hot tub are up on the Pent House level and offer a
great view.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.
The only drawback that it has is there are no balconies...which is a
shame when its a beautiful night and you have to go upstairs to sit on
the common patio.
I would definitely stay here again.

First time visit to Vancouver.. Had an amazing time exploring downtown..
Couldn't have gotten a better deal at the Best ... Western downtown.. Hotel is
very very nice for the price! Very convenient location! We found our room to be
very nice! Only down side is no breakfast, however the restaurant attached has
great food!

A solid place to stay for the star rating it is given. The rooms were clean,
with conveniences such as a fridge and microwave provided. The building is kept
well and the penthouse floor not only provides a gym, sauna and whirlpool, but
also has a fabulous terrace where you get beautiful views of Downtown

Honestly, I normally can't be bothered to write reviews for hotels I stay at
even though I read them all the time when choosing hotels. However, I've been
really impressed with the BW Downtown. In terms of facilities it's nothing
special, but my room and the public areas are spotless, the bed's great, the
location's fine (with useful amenities such as supermarket and takeout places
right next door), the free wifi and lobby internet facility (with printing) are
a great added bonus, the included breakfast's fine (yogurts, good selection of
pastries/cakes, toast, fruit etc. - not the nicest breakfast room in the world,
but functional), and the rate was good value. But the best thing I've found here
is the service: everyone's been friendly and really helpful even though I've had
quite a few requests including a room move (I don't like being near the ice
machine as I know they can be noisy). So if you're looking for a quality,
mid-priced hotel I would definitely recommend this place.

Good location, only about 3 blocks into the downtown streets. Was very easy to
find coming from off the highway. Stay was good for what i expected with a few
exceptions.
When we first arrived, we went to check in and the man at reception was very
un-welcoming, made me very uncomfortable. After checking us in, with the bar
minimum effort we parked the car and headed up to our room, walked in the room,
and was blasted with the smell of smoke. It was quite strong and i wanted to
change rooms, but felt reluctant to call reception and bother them after a
not-so-nice check in. Eventually did, and was asked to come back down to
reception to get our new room key. After heading down and picked up or new key,
it almost felt like the gentleman (same one that checked us in) didnt believe
us, and pointed out that it couldnt smell like smoke as it was a non-smoking
hotel, well someone obviously broke that rule! After going into a new room,
everything was perfect. Headed out that evening, and when returned was greeted
by a different gentleman at reception that was extremely kind and full of
smiles. Check out was a breeze. The hotel was nice, but due to my un-welcome
welcoming would not reccomend this hotel.

We stayed here at the Best Western Downtown Vancouver for 2 nights - one each
end of our trip - and found it to be a good location for downtown without the
high price of being in Robson Street or on the waterfront.
We were able to walk to Davie Street, where there is a good selection of
restaurants, and the seawall which is a beautiful strolling area.
Our first room had a kitchen area the second didn't, but both were a good size,
clean and quiet despite the hotel being situated on a busy corner.
We had a problem with the door key on our second stay. It wouldn't open the door
and was re-keyed three times before it worked, but the Best Western staff were
very helpful. Parking is $10 per day, but it is underground and reasonably
secure.
We had two breakfasts and one evening meal in the restaurant and found it good
and a reasonable price.
