Guest Review of the Moda Hotel in Vancouver

Stayed here because of price and location. Rooms are small though good value. $10 coupon was included for breakfast. Restaurant was closed first morning because of staffing issues. The discount was honored for lunch with an apology. Would have been a five if more was offered.
Staff were polite and helpful. Will be back.

Booked in for two night because the reviews on here were pretty good. Hotel is around 100 years old and the ground floor is very nicely finished a great looking sports bar, wine bar and restaurant. The rooms however reveal another story and don't look as fresh and hip as they did on the website and in fact I thought I was walking into backpacker accommodation with some nicer furnishings. The worst part was the floor had a very steep lean into the centre of the room which meant that it was impossible to sit at the narrow skinny desk without the feeling of sliding of your chair. After of couple of hours putting up with this I decided to raise it with the gentleman on the front desk who was very empathetic and decided to find me a better room. After reviewing 2 other rooms it was clear that they all had the same problem (well at least on the 3rd floor) and this all related to the age of the hotel apparently. Eventually I was given a corner 'King' room which was identical to the other rooms I viewed with the exception of a larger bed and larger floor area - other than that everything was identical. In this room the desk was located in a different part of the from and didn't have a ridiculous slope. The bed however sloped from the back to front which proved to annoying when I went to sleep because I could feel all the blood rushing to my head - the easy solution was to sleep with my head at the tail of the bed which now cause the blood to rush to my feet and resulted in a similar sensation of sleeping in one of those old business class beds on planes that 'don't' fully recline.

Apart from my bad room the restaurant on the ground floor was fantastic with excellent service and apparently the chef had worked at the famous 'River Cafe' in London which I could believe as the food was very good and they served a great selection of wines from the Okanagan Valley (which I love).

The more casual dining restaurant were I had breakfast on each day was very hit and miss in regards to serve. On the first morning I wasn't offered water and after the waitress delivered my coffee and granola disappeared and never came back to offer more coffee, water or maybe a glass of juice. The next morning the service was the exact opposite and worthy of a 10. Just goes to show how service is key and had not been for my $10 breakfast voucher I wouldn't have given them a second chance.

So would I stay here again? Only if there was nothing better available. I will definitely come back to the restaurant when I visit Van again.

Great location, great price my husband and I stayed during Grey Cup 2011..The location was great for all the venues and for the game. Shopping was walking distance for me as well. The staff was great the room was on the small size but we didn't spend much time in it . I agree with (Charmsy) a fridge in the room would have been great. We would stay again for the location and the price..

Charming and well located! I loved the quirks of the old building. My room was small, but so nicely furnished I can't complain. The price was FANTASTIC! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Note: no fridge in room or pop machine available (it's been removed). These 2 changes would make it perfect.

Definitely no real wow factor here but I enjoyed my stay at Moda. The hotel is really well located in the middle of downtown V.C and within easy walking distance of good places to eat and drink, loads of shopping, and the harbor. Staff were great too, genuinely friendly.

I didn't think much of the room though, whilst clean and comfortable, it seemed you are going to end up either a) facing a rather bleak inner courtyard and with a huge tower opposite and above that had rooms looking directly down and into yours room - or b) the rooms facing the very busy street. I had the cheapest room so I suppose you pay for what you get - but it was no frills.

The breakfast in their cafe which took about half an hour to come out after ordering and was fairly plain but not unpleasant. They also had an offer giving you a $10 voucher towards your morning meal which paid for most of it so certainly no complaints on the price.

So a good place to stay especially if you are short on time and not that bothered about extras with your room, and the price was very reasonable.

This boutique hotel is in a very convenient location in downtown Vancouver. The first time I stayed there, I was in the outside corner room (just luck) and it was great, windows on two sides, lots of light, big room, very nice! The second time I stayed there, it was the inside corner room, so much smaller, only one window and less light. Fine, just a disappointment compared to the other room. Otherwise a great place, charming feel, great little wine bar in the basement with great cocktails and small plates. Overall a great spot to stay. Good value.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Moda Hotel. if you are looking for a retro room, this is it! The staff was excellent and courteous. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent as well and the food was delicious. Thank you for the espresso coffee and taking care of our luggage. We will certainly stay at Moda again when we are in Vancouver.
