I have been staying at this hotel on a regular basis for a number of
years and continue to really enjoy the experience. The location, for me,
is ideal, the reception very friendly and efficient and the rooms great
value for the price. As I live in the UK I almost regard the hotel as my
second home!

A clean, comfortable, convenient and scenic place to stay for visitors
to Vancouver. Hop on a nearby ferry to explore downtown, the West End,
Yaletown or Chinatown. Visit all the amenities on Granville island and
enjoy a meal at the hotel restaurant Dockside - especially on the
waterside plaza in the summer! Even though we're local, we've stayed
here a few times when we've turned our place over to out-of-town family.
Request a room on the north or east for the best views.

One of my favorite weekend retreats. The hotel is located on Granville
Island in the heart of Vancouver. Granville Island is a shoppers bazaar
by day for gifts, clothing, groceries, baked goods, quick snacks,
sophisticated dining, aboriginal art and more and also popular among
locals and tourists alike. Being on the water, there is never a lack of
things to do or see. At night there is live theatre and great dining
both on the island as well as a short drive or cab ride away. The
evenings are quiet and perfect for a good nights sleep.
Living in the 'burbs' of Vancouver, my wife and I enjoy staying at the
Granville Island Hotel as our home away from home. It allows us to enjoy
the Vancouver night life without the drive back home in the early
morning hours. We find the hotel rooms well appointed and comfortable;
the staff friendly and accommodating.
The dining room in the hotel is the Dockside Restaurant which offers a
fine menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On the weekend, we
especially enjoy items on the brunch menu.
We have on occasion had many out of town guests attend a celebration or
reunion and have not hesitated to recommend the Granville Island Hotel
for their stay in Vancouver.
The Granville Island Hotel continues to be one of our favorites.

What a lovely hotel! We attended a company Christmas party in the
Dockside Restaurant (fabulous) so decided to stay in the hotel. Great
decision. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the bathroom was very
modern and spotless, the bed and bedding were comfortable, the staff
very friendly and helpful. No complaints at all. The location is the
deal clincher. Very eclectic collection of shops, galleries, and food
establishments, but the main event is the market. We wished we had more
meals on Granville Island! We hope the company chooses this location
again next year.

Staying on Granville Island at this hotel feels like a getaway from
Vancouver and the traffic, it is it's own little oasis. The staff are
helpful and friendly, the room was well appointed, very clean and
comfortable with a very good bed. I was taking a 4 day class at Maiwa so
parked my car, shopped in the market for fresh fruit, seafood and
vegetables and enjoyed my room at the end of each day. It is a gem of a
hotel and I am sure my husband will enjoy it when we next visit
Vancouver.

We travel a lot and I stay at far to many hotels, making us a little
fussy. The Granville is just wonderful. Excellent staff, perfectly new,
great beds, and great breakfast overlooking the marina. We have stayed
at 5 star places that were not as nice as this hotel. On top of this, we
thought it was great value.

This is the second time we've stayed here and once again it has
impressed. What I like is how close it is to downtown but with the
relaxing Granville feel. Walk to the market for snacks and coffee then
ferry across false creek to cruise downtown. Rooms are very comfortable
and bathroom is above average. Really enjoyed our stay.

Booked Granville Hotel was a great decision, very comfortable well
priced hotel and very practical travelling with my three children. The
restaurant has great service and good food and offers as well perfect
options for the kids....The location is perfect, it is like being in a
small village atmosphere just 5 minutes from a major metropolitan city
center....we used the aqua bus to get around everywhere, for diners
elsewhere, to go to downtown Vancouver to go to science world...a great
experience with my young family, and do not forget to take a look at
Granville market.....
