While the property is clean, it is VERY outdated. We were charged half a room rate for early check in to hold our bags since we had come in early from a cruise. Staff were not very accommodating. The street noise outside accompanied by the window a/c unit and old mattress makes it nearly impossible to sleep.

A good location, older hotel

I booked here because of the location, knowing it was a older hotel. The location could not have been better right across the street from the water. The room was a two bedroom apartment with plenty of space, but the furniture was all very old the front desk staff was friendly And accommodating, and the coffee in the morning was good many restaurants and good bars right around the area.

Property very old and is in need of some major renovations. Chair was broken, shower did not work and carpet and floors were sticky. The area is nice and the old Asian gentleman was very helpful.

I stayed one night at the English Bay Hotel before heading out on a cruise, and it served its purpose well. The location is excellent—just 2 km from the Canada Place Cruise Terminal, which made for an easy walk with luggage. While the hotel isn’t modern or recently renovated, it offers a full kitchen in the room, which was perfect for preparing a quick meal. The surrounding area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store nearby, making it easy to stock up or dine out. The beds were okay—not luxurious, but comfortable enough for a short stay. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-frills option with a kitchen in downtown Vancouver, this is a solid choice. Just don’t expect anything fancy.

We liked the area that the hotel is in but the hotel itself could use some sprucing up. It smelled when you walked in and when you got in the elevator. The carpets in the hallways are filthy and they smell of mildew. The room is nice when you walk in but when the cleaning staff come and clean, all they do is make the bed, take the trash and change the towels. There is no cleaning of the sink and bathtub and they don't vacuum either. Needless to say, we were disappointed with the hotel itself, but the location was great.

It’s a dated building but was exactly what we needed for a concert trip. A place to lay your head. It felt safe and did what it was meant to.
