Century Plaza was the only hotel on web site in our price range, so we expected
to end up somewhere rather shabby. However, we were very pleasantly suprised
when we arrived there! The hotel is in a great location, and the lobby is
beautiful. The rooms are large and spacious, and beds are very comfortable.
Breakfast was not included in our rate, but was available for a very reasonable
price. Wifi was available for free in the lobby but not in the rooms.
For the price, the hotel is an excellent choice in Vancouver.

Stayed here for a girls night out the rooms were spacious, clean and fairly
roomy for the price. The hotel is within walking distance to waterfront,
Granville Island, famous Robson shopping street and various nice restaurants so
can totally recommend it location-wise.. The comedy club in the basement proved
to be a lot of fun. Good things about this hotel is the location and the view
(we were on the 25th floor)

We stayed there the last week of October and stayed in an Executive
Suite in the upper 29th level. The view over the city was fantastic,
but the noise very disturbing, also given the fact that a hospital
was next door. The room was very big but interior not the latest and
walls could do with some refurbishing; a night lamp was missing in
our bedroom as well as a closet to hang up some clothes.
Nevertheless we enjoyed the space and the king size bed was okay.
The sink in the bathroom looked nice but was completely unhandy for
real use :-(
The restaurant & bar were very good and service attentive in the
evening, in the mornings - once you showed your breakfast vouchers
to choose from either eggs & hash browns, waffle or pancakes with
coffee - the service was a bit abrasive. One thing that annoyed a
bit was that WiFi was only available in the lobby area and no
complimentary computers around for guests; the only option were the
public computers in the adjoining coffee bar (6 $ per hour).
We did not experience the Spa as the prices seemed pretty high
compared to average Canadian prices for food and else so even in
Euro it seemed pretty much.
However, the hotel is within walking distance to waterfront,
Granville Island, famous Robson shopping street and various nice
restaurants so can totally recommend it location-wise.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Century Plaza on a
recent visit to Vancouver. We found the staff friendly and caring,
the room was large, clean and complete with all the amenities. The
location is as central as you can get and handy to most downtown
Vancouver sites. We will definitely stay there again.

Travelling with a fussy 10YO (daughter) makes it difficult at times
to find a place that make us all feel welcome, but we had no
concerns staying at the Century Plaza. From the moment we arrived,
we knew it was a family friendly, as well as business-like,
environment.
The location is great, being within walking distance to
downtown/city, and even Stanley Park and around to Granville Island.
We (despite the occasional pathetic, whiney-voiced protest from the
aforementioned 10YO, bless her) managed to do a full circuit easily,
accommodating all of the above areas in the space of an hour & a
half.
Staff are very happy to help out with every aspect of our needs
which basically involved providing the following services, and with
a smile....
1. The occasional (o.k....frequent) huge cold beer for me,
2. Keeping the Leader of the Opposition (Missus) fed with big
servings of good quality tucker, and...
3. Maintaining amusement levels for our nipper with stories on where
to go/what to do while in town.
The bar staff (my favourite people) are a mixed bunch, and have
information galore on stuff to see & do, and are very tolerant of us
fellow ex-colonials.
Rooms were great/huge/clean and excellent value for the money, with
both (we lobbed twice over a 1 month period) affording us excellent
views over the city and surrounding water/mountains.
We stayed at the hotel at the start of our trip to Canada, and
again, at the completion of our trip...hence we have no hesitation
in recommending the place as a top venue for a family friendly stay.
It's very hard to beat.

We had a very good experience at the Century Plaza Hotel. It's central location
was the perfect launching pad for our weekend, it's kitchenette was perfect for
us since we were traveling with a baby, the size of the room was great and gave
our little girl a great place to crawl around and the price couldn't be better.
Our room was clean and comfortable and that's all we really needed. And you
can't beat the price. I've never found a hotel in a major city in that good of a
location that was that nice that had that reasonable a price. Solid.
We'll definitely stay at The Century Plaza again.

Love to stay at this hotel when in Vancouver. Every Feb. they are the hotel of
choice for the Esthetique SPA International spa show visitors. I have never had
a complaint about staying here. It's beautiful, the rooms are great, and it's so
inexpensive for how how nice it is. The staff is very friendly and helpful as
well.

My husband ended up in ICU at St Paul's just after Christmas and I needed a
place to stay that was close, clean and reasonably priced. The staff at Century
Plaza were excellent in getting me into a room that night and accommodating my
subsequent 3 week stay. They gave me a preferred rate and waived the additional
amount they would have made on a New Years rate. The staff were gracious,
helpful and courteous. They made an extremely difficult time in my life and my
children's life easier. I cannot say enough good things about the people in this
hotel from the housekeepers to the doormen to the front desk staff, all were
fantastic. I will remember this hotel and refer it to all of my friends who come
to town. Thank you Century Plaza!

Good Price, Good Service and Great Location
I had read some reviews that made me question this choice but based on price and
location decided to go for it. I am glad I did. The room was very nice and gave
me great views of the city. The staff was very helpful. The location was perfect
for my needs and I really appreciated the regular shuttle to the airport. It was
extremely stress-free and I would recommend it to anyone.
Traveller's tip on dining
There are great local restaurants. I enjoyed an awesome Asian meal at a small
restaurant near Davie and Thurlow--it’s the best I’ve had in a long time--and it
was very inexpensive. I also had really good sushi at a restaurant on Main
Street--good stuff (and it didn’t break the bank!)

Decent if can get a discount rate on room
Bed was best part of room - very comfortable. Location is great. Older building,
with slow elevators. TVs need to be replaced. Bathrooms are modest. HVAC system
not the best. Front desk staff are a bit stuffy... they are in a 3 star hotel,
acting like they are in a 5 star... it’s rather amusing.

I needed to travel from a small town to Vancouver to have my 6 month checkup for
my new valve at the hospital nearby. I was excited to see the hotel after having
read reviews both good and bad on the net and stared at all the pictures. I was
not surprised neither with the convenience of in-and-out parking right there nor
the shining beauty of the comfortable lobby-then they told me I was being
upgraded for nothing to the honeymoon suite on the 21st floor. Well, what can I
say? i had to be dragged off the balcony where I watched twinkling xmas lights,
city lights, ships on the water-my own little Shangrila! In the morning I was
back there staring into the daylight world and ordered in a very reasonably
priced breakfast. The coffee in the room was good. I can't wait for my next
checkup- I stepped out a side door of the hotel and into the side door of the
hosital right across the street.

Home away from home but with more style...
I really like this hotel. The concierge was excellent. He recommended the best
places by price and food quality. It was within blocks of everything and the spa
is to die for. You can save money and cook your own if you can keep yourself
away from the international cuisine.

My boyfriend and I stayed here as well as two other couples. We had a standard
room, one other couple had a junior suite and the other had the executive king.
we were all generally happy with our stay with a few issues.
The carpets could definitely use a cleaning, you have to go all the way to the
lobby with your ice bucket and get ice from the restaurant there. They charge
you for each local call out of the hotel. It looks like there's complimentary
water for you on the counter and in the fridge but if you read the tag on the
bottles it says you will be charged $3.50 each if you drink them, so don't just
get all excited and start opening one up like my friend did. Every suite has a
kitchen but no dishes. you get glasses and cutlery though.
Overall it was a typical stay for the off season prices but I can't see it being
worth full price. Great location and the views are outstanding.

Excellent location. Rooms are ok if you get an refurbished one with air
condition. The corridors are dark and small and the elevators are very old.
Windows open a with a little gap. Staff was ok and room was clean and reasonable
sized

We were very impressed by this hotel. The price was reasonable in comparison to
similar hotels that we looked at. The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms
were clean.
All rooms are suites, so rather large and comfortable.
It is a little noisy, but the hotel is in the middle of a large city, so that is
to be expected. The location is excellent and serviced by two hop on and off
tourist bus services. You can also walk to just about any location in downtown
Vancouver. We got a taxi to the airport for four people and lots of luggage for
$25.00!
Only negative I can think of is that the rooms are getting to the point of
needing renovations (tears in drapes, stains on carpet, scratches on walls...)
but still a great value for the money.

Stayed 13 nights at the Century Plaza End August/Beg.Sept 2008 and enjoyed the
experience - all the staff were professional and friendly. Our room was a corner
one on the 18th floor and afforded views down/side of Burrard Street, especially
lovely when lights came on over the city at night. Any requests to staff were
attended to immediately. The Beyond Restaurant/lounge was a very relaxing place
to have a meal.
There was siren noise from ambulances, etc. in the street below but I guess this
noise is heard all over the city wherever one stays. Perhaps it is heard more in
the locality of the Century Plaza as there is an Emergency Hospital nearby.
We would certainly return to this hotel if ever in Vancouver again.

We stayed on the 28th floor by chance (the lower floors were already booked)
and, after reading the negative reviews of the lower floors, I'd say that was a
good thing.
My wife and I received friendly, attentive service from the hotel staff from the
moment we drove in including the bellhop, front desk clerk and concierge (and
even the staff person who gave me the Internet ID and password).
The room was large, clean and comfortable. Everything worked including the
shower and TV. We had views of ships in the bay. It was nice having a full
kitchen instead of the usual microwave and dorm refrig.
There were some negatives, of course, but we compensated. Elevator noise could
be heard from the bedroom and may have made sleep difficult, however we ALWAYS
sleep with earplugs when away. The sheets in the bed have way too much polyester
and are not fitted-it's a pet peeve of mine to have the bottom sheet come
completely untucked and ride halfway up the bed so part of me is sleeping on the
mattress in the morning.....

We stayed at the Century Plaza, along with two other couples, on May 18th. Our
rooms were on the 30th floor, very clean, with lovely views of the city. The
hotel employees provided excellent service. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the
hotel. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Compared to other properties
in the same area, the cost of this hotel was very reasonable.

Hotel Location: Great. About a 10 min walk to the main street packed with shops, bars
and restaurants
Room: Good. Massive 'suite' room with 2 kingsized beds, lounge with sofas,
kitchen, large well fitted bathroom, tea & coffee, lots of storage. Clean and
comfortable but the decor was a little dated. Brilliant views over Vancouver
from the 11th floor.
Hotel: Impressive contemporary reception, modern lounge, great bar, nice
restaurant serving a decent breakfast. Well equipped spa and relaxing pool. We
didn't have time to check out the comedy club but would have liked to. Friendly
staff and faultless service.
Overall: Great Hotel Location, good facilities and impressively large rooms. Little
bit dated but excellent value for money. I would definitely stay there again and
recommend this hotel.

I booked a package that included the Executive suite, 2 tickets to Yuk Yuks, and
dinner at the Beyond Restaurant. I thought the service was terrible from the
moment we checked in, to the moment we checked out. The room was beautiful, and
had great views of Vancouver. My only complaint was there was never any hot
water, day or night. Dinner at the Beyond was also sub-par. We had a horrible
server, and the food served was completely different from what the menu items
stated. The only good part of our stay was the Yuk Yuks experience. That I can
definitley recommend, but stay at a different hotel, and just purchase the
tickets.

Hotel has upscale amenities like the spa, restaurant and lobby, however
rooms were moderately priced we booked an executive king which had
breakfast included the room was very large and the bowl sink in the
bathroom gave a contemporary feel. The best part of the hotel was the
way the staff treated you starting from the doorman to the maid who was
very obliging with extra coffee requests. Had a great stay and will be
back
