Cassandra Hotel offers the amenities that you can get from a 4-5 star hotel, yet at very reasonable prices. There is new management and they are particularly focused on the service aspect. Recreational amenities at Cassandra Hotel include a spa tub and a sauna. Cassandra Hotel also offers wireless Internet access, multilingual staff, and business services. The property has a 24-hour front desk. The parking is complimentary

The hotel is nice and clean. Our room was on the 3rd floor and was pretty quiet. The staff was very nice, pleasant and helpful. The only negative comment we can make concerns the mattresses/beds, which were a little dated. Also, the hotel is about 15-20 minutes away from downtown. If you don’t mind the drive, this is a good place to stay. The breakfast (consisting of a snack bar, an apple and a small juice box) was very modest but free. The parking is free too!

I am a businessman who frequents Vancouver on business a lot, and requirement for a decent hotel with excellent service and price can be hard to find sometimes. However I have found the Cassandra Hotel to offer reasonable rates and the cleanliness is excellent! I highly recommend Cassandra Hotel to all travellers.

The Cassandra Hotel seems a bit remote from downtown Vancouver at first, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. Located in a nice residential neighborhood, the rooms are good for the price and, if you get a room facing the mountains, it will afford you picturesque views to dream by. If you don't know where to visit, just ask the super friendly staff who were very helpful and hospitable. If you need any extras (towels, pillows) just ask. Added perk: free 30 min internet use per room. It's also located a short walk from the train, which is super speedy & frequent. No car is needed: You can buy discounted transit tickets at the local 7-lls and just purchase a 1day tour to Victoria. Internet cafe 1/2 block away.

a good value for the price. room was comfortable, not cramped. the microwave and fridge were very handy. located within walking distance of the free sky train - great for visiting downtown Vancouver. the neighborhood was ethnic and working class - interesting, but not much to see and do. the underground parking garage was also a nice feature. the attached restaurant always seemed to be closed, and they never posted what times they were open.

Stayed for 3 nights Sept 09. The hotel is based near china town, about 8 stops from downtown Vancouver on the SkyTrain, the station of which is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. There is also a bus stop just next to the hotel.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, but a bit stuffy due to the fact that the windows did not open. But once the AC kicked in it was okay.

The only problem with the room other than the windows, was that there were cigarette burns on the bedspread and cobwebs on the ceiling but all in all the room was nice. I cannot comment on the hotel amenities i.e. spa, launderette etc as we did not use them.

I would recommend staying in this reasonably priced comfortable hotel.

The price was good and the bed was okay
The ice machine was broken for almost all days! Even so with the vending machines! Room was big but not effective the furniture is far too old for this century. Breakfast is not every day and the staff was unfriendly and even tired. We do not recommend this hotel also because it is too far from downtown.

Most of hotel staff at check-in area were very friendly and helpful. We had a window with a view of the mountains which we really enjoyed. One of the main reasons we originally chose the Cassandra Hotel was because we did not have to pay an additional amount to park! nice room, the air cond took a while working iout how it worked

I stayed at this hotel for a business trip. The staff was helpful and friendly. I had a problem with my room's heater/aircon, but it got fixed fairly quickly. The room was a steal compared to other hotels that I was looking it. The Collingwood area was also nice too since there were a lot of ethnic restaurants that I got to eat at. Overall, good value for what you get.
