Guest Reviews of the Best Western Downtown Vancouver

I stayed for four nights with my husband and 3 year old daughter in April 2010. This is a very good hotel and the location is great. Its right on Granville street and is very close to Robson street (mecca of shopping & dining). The hotel has secure, underground parking for $10CAD per night which is reasonable in downtown. The total I paid for four nights was $447CAD(which includes parking, taxes)
The rooms were very clean and the house keeping was exceptional. Our room came with 2 queen beds, flat screen TV, mini-fridge & microwave. The room was a decent size and came with a downtown view. Best western offers 2 free water bottles every day. They have a Jacuzzi on the pent house, though we did not use it. There are some picnic tables on the roof top and they had a great view. They hotel offers a complimentary shuttle drop off service. The hotel also rents bikes free of charge for 2 hrs. There is also 7-eleven just across the hotel which was very handy especially if you have kids. They have free internet in the lounge. The only thing is that they don't offer complimentary breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel because of the price and the amenities they offer and proximity to major attractions.

Nice hotel, very clean and great location. Close to public transport, shopping and restaurants. Has a cafe/restaurant that is open from breakfast til dinner. They also offer a free shuttle service every 30 minutes which was very helpful. There is a good sized fitness centre on the top floor, with a hot tub. Staff were helpful too.

The Best Western Downtown in Vancouver is a good value hotel. It is functional as opposed to luxurious - but overall the rooms are well maintained - the beds really comfortable - and the staff are very nice. They also offer a free shuttle bus which is very handy. The hotel is located on Granville Street - it can get a bit wild and a little noisy on Granville street on the weekend nights - but the hotel itself feels safe and secure.
We were in the room with the kitchenette - if you having a longer stay this is a good option as the kitchenette includes a stovetop (small), microwave and decent sized bar fridge. Although it is in close proximity to good resturants. In the lobby there is a computer and you are able to get free internet there - just ask for a code from the staff. Also free wireless in your room if you have your own computer.
The location of the hotel itself is very good - a short walk to the main shopping districts of downtown Vancouver and the skytrain - also a short walk to the Aqua bus which will get you to Granville island very easily. Oh and the water is great there too - tap water is fine but they also offer bottled water (free) - you can even ask for extra bottles to take out during the day.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone and when I go back to Vancouver (hopefully soon!) I would stay there again! Also my Mum stayed with us and even though it was three sharinig the room there was still plenty of room for everyone. Plus my Mum really liked the shuttle bus and thought the driver was very friendly and knowledgable - added bonus!

The hotel had everything we needed for a great night. It was close to the clubs, restaurants, theatres, stadiums and arenas. The front desk staff was very efficient and friendly. Parking was a good deal at $10 a night. Only downfall was the wireless network. It wasn't very strong in the room. The rooms we clean, modern, and comfortable.

We booked a one night stay here the day before driving up to Vancouver from Seattle. It was our first trip and we really didn't know where was best to saty in terms of sightseeing and getting around. We only paid around £60.00 including breakfast and free parking which was a bonus. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who allowed us to check in early at no extra charge. There was some confusion as to the parking being free but she eventually agreed it was and remarked no-one had noted it on the booking. The manager came over and introduced him self personally to us, even gave us his business card as he had overheard the confusion regarding the parking. He was so friendly and nice asking about England etc.. it was nice but a bit OTT really. The room was great, far better than I had expected views up into the city centre (away from the bridge which the hotel is just over - on the left hand side making it a doddle to find). The curtains were really good black out ones, the bathroom was neat and tidy with everything clean and well presented. We had a tea tray, ice bucket, great sized TV, everything you could want and more really for our purpose - I didn't take my first trip to Canada to sit in a hotel room! You can walk to pretty much everything in the downtown area if you don't mind walking which didn't - 30-40 up to gastown and china town (with lots to see on the way I hasten to add).

Breakfast the next morning was great and you got a real plate full! It was the hot breakfast option included not the full breakfast but it was plenty for us choice of Juice OR hot drink and then a huge plate of bacon, egg, sausage etc...

We did book the shuttle bus they promote in the morning to take us up to the top end of town for the day which all went a bit wrong really - I can't remember the exact times but we booked it and then they called the room 15 minutes early and said we would have to go then or in an hour because the driver was waiting - they do not operate the shuttle so have little control over it really, we weren't ready to check out so had to pass on the shuttle and walk into town - not the end of the world but a little disappointing as they made a thing about the fact you could only book certain times in advance which we did!

They did allow us to keep the car in the garage all day at no extra charge whilst we went sightseeing till tea time which was nice of them. They also have a rooftop garden which was good for a few pictures and imagine is nice in summer when it's a bit warmer! The gym was up there too and it looked fine enough to me for a small hotel. All in all we found it a great place to stay in Vancouver and I would not really hesitate to stay there again next time I visited

This is an excellent hotel located in Downtown Vancouver, which has friendly and helpful staff. We stayed there for one night after staying at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. First of all, the room was less expensive than the Hyatt, and it contained furnishings that were comparable to the Hyatt’s. In fact, the LCD TV was bigger than the Hyatt’s. Second, the Best Western offers 2 free bottled waters (compared to $5 at the Hyatt), free local calls and free wi fi internet. There is also a laundry room on site, which is convenient. The towels and toiletries were plentiful, and of good quality. This location also offers a free shuttle service to any destination within 5 miles. This hotel was a refreshing change to the Hyatt, which seems to charge for everything. I would recommend staying here anytime, a look forward to returning on my next trip to Vancouver.

We have stayed at the hotel in the past. We are satisfied with the location. The hotel is in a safe location. Check in was quick and courteous. Room was clean and comfortable. Location was central to shopping restaurants and nightlife.
