English Bay Hotel

Wir haben dieses Hotel nur aufgrund der hervorragenden Lage in Vancouver gebucht, über den Zustand waren wir in den Bewertungen schon vorgewarnt worden. Selten hatten wir auf unseren vielen Rundreisen in USA oder Kanada ein Hotel in so schlechtem Zustand. Großes Zimmer mit angrenzender Küche( Hat Museumswert, haben nur den Kühlschrank angerührt, alles andere war schmuddelig!!!)über den Zustand des Teppichbodens haben andere Reisende schon berichtet. Der Zugang zur Tiefgarage war sehr abenteuerlich aufgrund der Großbaustelle direkt neben dem Hotel. In der Lobby konnte man sich jederzeit frischen Kaffee holen.

Es war prinzipiell ok. bis gut. Die Umgebung ist nichts für Touristen.

Accommodations were simple but complete. Staff were friendly and available. Parking was reasonable and affordable. Location was wonderful. Restaurants of innumerable cuisines and all types of stores and services within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay there again.

My family just stayed for a night. It was the cheapest we could find. The room was way bigger than I expected for 5 people (2 full size beds & a twin), a full kitchen & small family room. They had plenty of towels for us. Parking was in garage underneath building. Next to the beach, local foods and if you wanted a good walk down Robson St wasn't too far. Only negatives was that it's an older building/furniture, and the lobby smelled of food (I think it was the Mediterranean/Greek restaurant next door - maybe need better ventilation when cooking - but we didnt have smells in our room or notice anywhere else in building. By the way, their food is really good.) The guys at front desk were very friendly. My family enjoyed the free hot drinks. It was a good stay.

Pros: - Room had 3 beds, a double and a queen in a common area and a separate room with a queen bed. It made it ideal travelling with two young children. - There was a power bar with USB already in the room. - WiFi worked well. - Our room had a full fridge, oven, sink and a full set of dishes and cookware. - Room appeared to be clean and in good condition. - Parkade was big enough to navigate a full sized van without issue. The $10/day cost was also reasonable. - The hotel itself was inexpensive. - There are several dining options very close that are child-friendly. - Very close to Stanley Park. Cons: - The room decor is straight from 1989 (it was in good condition though). - The room smelled like it was inhabited by a cat that peed all over the place. Opening the windows helped. - Traffic noise was high even with windows closed. - There was only a portable air conditioner, which was fine when we were there, but would be unsuitable for a hot day.
