Booked this hotel through www.Allure-hotels.com  for $ 75 per night. Although the furniture is somewhat dated, the location is excellent. Round the corner from shops and numerous restaurants and a 2 mins. walk to the Seawall. Staff were friendly.

Overlooking the city We were greeted at the deck with a friendly staff.
We stayed on the 34th floor over looking all of the west end of Vancouver.
The view was just lovely . The room was well stocked with everything that I needed. With actual size lotions and shampoos. Cannonballs and Q-Tips.
I loved wrapping up in th big robes that are in your closet.
I'd love to go back and stay at hat same hotel.

Very convenient location to all the restaurants and Denman St. and near Stanley Park. Rooms are old and need remodeled. Beds were not that comfy.
Our stay was short but very satisfactory and we encountered no problems. This property is absolutely recommended for a stay.

Don't let the older building put you off. The Coast Plaza is clean, neat, well-maintained and staffed by terrific people. The kitchen suite is an awesome value for the cost.

The hotel was very nice. A great location. A couple blocks from English Bay Beach and Stanley Park. My kids loved the pool, used it everyday. The hotel only had one restaurant for kids. It has a bar & grill that has pizza and a pasta bar, but kids are not allowed. There are a lot of restaurants with in walking distant.

I stayed at this hotel in Sept 2009 and the wireless internet service was spotty, and an office that is available in the lobby for web browsing and printing often had others waiting or door was locked. Room was clean, included a kitchen area and maid service was fast and effcient. for what I paid I was pleasantly surprised and would stay at this hotel again

I stayed in the King Suite - it was perfect for me & my family. There was a separate bedroom, living area & full kitchen. The view was breathtaking & quite frankly worth it alone. The area was very bustling with the beach 2 blocks away & lots of restaurants & dessert places within 5 minutes walk. We didn't eat anywhere but near our hotel & still didn't go to all the restaurants we wanted to. Our concierge was an awesome help, & gave great advice re places to see & eat. The cleaning staff were very good & because I had a baby & told them to come back in the morning, they just kept coming back til I was ready for them & they weren't rude or irritated by it. My hotel stay made the business trip easy - while I was away in sessions, my babysitter could take my son & be busy all day without any inconvenience, or stay in the hotel & have all the necessary amenities. Definitely the hotel made the trip for me!

Open windows and balcony with a view. Constant signing out of wifi access to the Internet. Irritating to have keep signing on over and over again. Well located, comfortable hotel featuring big windows with a beautiful view of Vancouver, English Bay, and the nearby mountains. The balcony was a plus, as was the refrigerator. Even the elevator was very quick.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this clean hotel, largely owing to the awesome location and friendly! We didn't try any of the hotel food because West End had so much to offer just steps from the hotel or along Robson, Davie or any one of the streets nearby.

We were on the 33rd floor (premium king) - the room was spacious and quiet; we loved it because we were the only guests in our corner (I guess we were between housekeeping/staff areas but no problem at all re: noise, esp. at night). The room was incredibly clean and had a large balcony with amazing views of Stanley Park, English Bay and even Coal Harbor. The bed was very comfortable, and there was plenty of bathroom amenities.

The gym is on the 4th floor, I think, with two floors (cardio and some machines above, overlooking the weight room and racquet ball below). Great, easy access to do some indoor exercise if you're not walking or renting a bike outdoors. The various bus stops across the street and nearby can take you around town or to connect to SkyTrain, etc. We didn't rent a car and just walked - how could you not? - or used their public transportation with its easy rides and connections to downtown, Granville Island, etc.

We have absolutely no complaints about this hotel, their staff or service. We'd stay here again for sure and ask for the same room (smile).

Once inside this hotel, it has most things that you need from a holiday hotel - bar, restaurant, free wi-fi, pool etc - the hotel rooms are somewhat old and dated.

Whilst the hotel is situated within reasonable walking distance distance of the main centre of Vancouver (30 mins walk) and the False Creek area (15 mins walk), Denman Street is not somewhere that I would recommend single travellers being alone in at night.

After leaving Victoria. we added one more kid to our group and headed by ferry to Vancouver.
The Coast Plaza is very well located for family travel. Turn right on Denman and you are in Stanley Park. Turn left and you are on the English Bay beach. We even went swimming and slide in the Pacific, the weather was gorgeous.
We had a large suite on the 33 rd floor: what a view!. Too bad we had to leave before the fireworks on Wednesdays.
2 rooms, a kitchen, a large living room, a small dining room. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. We had no problem with the portable AC.
The beds were not as comfortable than in Victoria and there was a bit more noise ( from the street instead of the seagulls ) but we slept well .
We had a few nice attentions: chocolates and a turn down service at night, gifts for the kids. I think you can also borrow rackets and stuff for the beach.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Through the concierge, you can obtain rebate coupons for certain attractions.
If you have kids, the Vancouver Aquarium is a must see and you can walk there from the hotel. Other fun places are Playland , the Science center and the Burnaby village ( you will need a car )
We used the kitchen every day.
WiFi Internet is free and works well
There is a parking and a pool. Also the hotel connects to a mall and there is another supermarket on Denman and Robson.

The neighborhood is trendy with a tons of restaurants on Denman ( Malaysian, Mongolian BBQ, Sushi, Fish and Chips, Korean, French and so on ...) It is also a residential area which makes up for a nice vibe

On a more personal note, we appreciated that the Coast Plaza Hotel sponsors a young springboard diver from Vancouver, as two of my kids and myself are divers also

I stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks the rooms are extremely clean and well kept .

The hotel is in a magnificent location on Denman street near English Bay. This is one of the most trendy and happening places in vancouver and the restaurant scene just outside the hotels front door is very diverse, with cuisine from Greece, Malaysia and Canada available (I personally recommend the Raincity Grill.)

The staff in the hotel are amazingly friendly and efficient, I arrived from the airport around 1pm, fully aware that check-in was not available until 3pm, the staff apologized for this and offered me free drinks in the hotel bar!!

I had the pleasure of staying in a superior suite which was the largest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Although I didn't use the kitchen it was well equipped and large, for hotel standards, and would be a huge advantage if anyone was considering self catering on their holiday. Adjacent to the Denman Place Mall, it is easy enough to have a quick trip to the supermarket or pharmacy to get anything you may need.
All in all this was a fantastic hotel in a fantastic location in vancouver, I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have been staying here since 2002. I love the location. Certain rooms have the best view in the town. There is a grocery store in the shopping center on the 1st floor (good when I was sick and went down for some soup), gym attached. I love Denman St. and English Bay. There are so many terrific ethnic restaurants and it is 2 blocks to the beach, English Bay and Stanley Park. So anytime of year, you walk out and are in a great , beautiful place, not like the downtown hotels. I love this place.

The location is good for Stanley Park, a few blocks away, and for Robson St (the main shopping street). Granville Island and areas such as Yaletown, Gastown and Chinatown are perhaps up to 30 minutes walking distance. Check-in was quick, friendly and efficient, as was check-out. The room was on the 14th floor, not very high up, but still with a good view from the balcony. It was spacious with double twin beds, but the decor was somewhat dated. The bathroom had a brown bath (white sink and toilet), and some chipped floor tiles. That said, the shower was fine, and the room was very clean. Room facilities included a fridge (no mini-bar), coffee maker, iron/ironing board, and TV. The pool was 46 ft long and appeared well kept although heavily chlorinated. The adjacent hot tub was rather small, but suitably hot. There was also a sauna in the changing room (not used, so can't comment). Free wi-fi was available in the room with a password from reception, and we had no problems with it. The lift descended below lobby level to the underground shopping mall with access from outside, and therefore security is a concern; the room key card was only required to access the lift after midnight. We had a comfortable stay for three nights, and have no complaints for the price we paid.

My husband and I stayed at the Coast Plaza on Comox Street for one night; Friday. It was our first stay at this hotel and I found the location one block from Stanley Park and on English Bay excellent. Our room was 3004 very spacious with a separate seat area with couch and chair. A proper table and chairs were available for dining had we brought something in along with a fridge and coffee station. The hotel is older but I found it very clean and everything in good working order. Went for a swim and enjoyed the pool. We had supper at the Bistro which was disappointing but with all the interesting restaurants in the immediate area there are lots of great options for all tastes.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in.
Great Jacuzzi suite
Great views
Awesome fluffy beds with duvet covers and feather pillows
Turndown service
shopping center in the building
Continental breakfast was top notch.
If you are in B.C and want a romantic getaway, they have a romance package. Ask for the Cypress Suite.

Stayed here for a week and found everything top notch, the food was good in the restaurant, and the rooms were more than adequate.

Nice to have a shopping mall underneath the place, accessible via the lifts...

Very close to English Bay, if you fancy a walk around and with lots of nice stores within easy walking distance.

I stayed for 7 nights here with my fiancee and found this hotel added to our trip. The room we got was spacious and in fairly good condition if you accept the distrinctly dated decor. Hopefully they will start to do the rooms up soon.

Other aspects of the hotel were excellent - service was always prompt, rooms were clean. Breakfast was a particular treat and is a real attraction of the hotel.

The biggest let down was the pool, which is in the basement, and is really not at all special.

The location is good for Stanley Park, however is a fair way from most businesses and shops. Overall though, a good base in Vancouver.

Terrific suite with view of Stanley Park and Beach. Location perfect for what we wanted, tennis and walks in Stanley Park, English Bay Beach and local neighborhood feel. Don’t understand complaints of it being dated. We loved it and would most definitely return. Found some great little restaurants just blocks away. Fabulous experience

When we visit Vancouver again, we plan on staying at The Coast Plaza again. My wife and I were very pleased with the service, the location and the atmosphere of the hotel.
Customer service was outstanding comparing to Montreal or much worst Toronto. Coast Plaza Hotel & Suites give us a crib for our baby even thought I haven't particularly requested. Personnel is very friendly and always ready to assist you. Moreover, the hotel is near the beach and big Stanley park. The next street has some very nice restaurants. Very satisfied with the hotel.

Upon check-in we were upgraded to a suite with kitchen and living area. This was great for the needs of our 2 kids. Everything is clean. The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. The milk and cookies at bedtime were definitely a plus for the kids. Conveniently located to shops, restaurants and the park. Can’t wait to go back

Great service the concierges were the best so helpful. Had a suite that worked very well for my teenager and myself. I gave the place a 4 because the ac was not very efficient it was 80-90 degrees. The view was nice of downtown. The location is great, a walk from English Bay, Stanley Park, water taxi and trolley tour stop. Also many good restaurants close by. The kitchen had all you need except dishtowels. Also best price groceries just below and fruit stands nearby. If you take the air porter from the airport you will have to walk 4 blocks. Place did not feel like a hotel. The doorman was super helpful when my rental car battery died. We’d stay there again. Great Hotel. We’d come back again
