The staff were nice and accommodating and we had an overall nice stay. The rooms were on the small size, but the room was pretty reasonable for downtown Vancouver so I think we got what we paid for. The location was great. Anything on the peninsula is within walking distance of anything else. It's an extremely walk able city. The only drawbacks we found were that breakfast was overtaken by children. I don't think we ran into any children in the halls or heard anything loud. In fact, our room was pretty secluded. But when we went to breakfast around 9am we could hardly find a seat. And when we finally did it was constant shrieking and Cheerios being thrown on the floor. I wasn't as bothered by it as my husband, though I do admit it I would have chosen a more peaceful breakfast. The food itself was pretty good.

This was our second stay at the Hampton and since we were so happy with the first stay, we had high expectations this time. We arrived a little early, but not too much before the official check in time. We were there with another couple (separate rooms) and they were told their reserved room wasn't available, but they managed to get another room.....they never said anything to us, but just gave us a room. Turns out both our rooms were RIGHT next to the elevator....like touching. We went down and got different rooms, but one of them was on the 4th floor and definitely lacked the view. We managed to scoop the higher floor room with the better view. As usual the bed was VERY comfortable, and they have a large, flat screen TV in the room. Bathroom decent with the curved shower rod and peek-a-boo shower curtain to avoid any of those "Psycho" moments. Pretty decent access to ice machines, but plastic cups in the room. All was going fairly well until breakfast rolled around and a large group of hung over concert goers were faced with a very horribly managed breakfast "buffet". Items were not replenished quickly, and in some cases not at all. It was sad. And this was one of our highlights last time! All in all, it was a decent stay and the location is perfect for concerts.....especially if the concert is at BC Place (this time we went to GM Place).

This was my second stay at this hotel, and it will not be my last -- this is a great hotel for attending concerts at BC Place Stadium. It's right across the street from the venue, nothing closer except the Georgian (which is usually booked by the roadies of the band, at least in U2's case). Check-in was a breeze, took all of 30 seconds, and check-out was even faster. Parking was super convenient in the garage, although kind of pricey. We didn't get up early enough to eat breakfast, so I can't attest to the included breakfast -- we ended up walking two blocks or so to McDonalds.

The room itself was wonderful: nicely decorated with clean, white bedspreads and down pillows. Flat screen TV, beautiful bathroom, not bad water pressure. The best part of the room, however, was that two whole walls were glass windows, floor to ceiling, looking over BC Place (we were on the 10th floor). What a view! Admittedly, it wasn't looking onto anything really cool like a pretty city view, but it made keeping an eye on the proceedings of the concert below super easy (so we could decide when to go down to the venue without having to wait in line).

If you need a place to rest your head, then this place is fine. Excellent location if you plan on going to a Canucks game. Other than that, the rooms are very plain, small, and suffocating. The location isn't that great for most sightseeing in Vancouver. And the free breakfast? A completely chaotic experience. You get what you pay for here. And the views are undesirable. The opposite end of Robson St. has a lot more to offer. Skip the restaurant. The food and service is lousy.

This was our first time staying at a Hampton Inn & Suites within the Hilton chain, and it was a most pleasant experience supported by many reviews . Nice helpful reception and efficient check-in. Located just off the stadium on the east end of Robson St, it is a short walk to the main shopping area but on the night that we arrived, there was a musical event outside the stadium due to a major football match that day. Thankfully that ended by about 7pm otherwise the noise would be unbearable, and otherwise the rooms were quiet and no traffic noise was noticed.

Self parking is CAD17 per day which is reasonable for downtown.

Rooms (we had two king size bedrooms) were spacious, clean and bright with very comfortable beds (two queens in one room, and one King in another), free in room wireless, flat screen TV and a nice lap-rest for using the notebook in bed. Air conditioning was very efficient and quiet - there is even a humidity control feature. Toilet/shower bathroom clean and spacious enough as well. Large In-room safe. Free coffee/tea making facilities in the room and free bottles of water each day.

All rooms include hot breakfast which has a good selection of quality cereals, pastry, some fruits but poor quality of hot meals (weird plastic looking fried eggs that don't even look like proper eggs, and poor quality of sausage or meat patties - only one type available each day). Good selection of teas and coffees which are freely available to-go as well.

We were happy with the experience

We were able to walk to Chinatown, Yaletown, and Robson shopping district and walk to the ferry to Granville Island. The breakfast buffet was good though a bit crowded and slow one morning. The rooom was clean and the beds nice. They had a great fitness area for the family; ping pong and foosball, in addition to the usual fitness equipment.

My wife and I stayed at this Hampton Inn prior to our Alaska Cruise. This hotel was perfect and here are some examples: Most comfortable hotel bed we have experienced. We learned the beds were just recently replaced. Extremely courteous & helpful hotel staff. Awesome complimentary continental breakfast. Free shuttle to the ship. Robson Street (hotel location) is a main shopping thoroughfare so it was convenient to walk to shopping and dining.

This hotel is situated at one end of Robson Street the main street in Downtown Vancouver making ideally situated to visit all the surrounding area plus Stanley Park. The Breakfast is good if a little busy and the food available in the Hotels Restaurant is very good. Staff very helpful and cheerful. Rooms well equipped and spacious.

The front desk staff was incredible. What a difference from the Sandman that is right beside it. Great location and great value.

We stayed over for 4 nights and consistently found the service at this hotel to be excellent. The front desk staff are very helpful, and can offer plenty of suggestions about which parts of downtown Vancouver to visit! Renting a bike to zip around Stanley Park was a highlight - even in November!

My first stay at the Hampton-- excellent reception on arrival, marvelous and
plentiful fresh food at breakfast, friendly helpful staff who appear to like their
jobs. Location cannot be beat in beautiful Vancouver - enjoyed the panoramic view while using the fitness room. Excellent hotel, I will be back.

The service at the Hampton Inn Hotel is great. People are friendly and helpful. Two years ago I stayed with my daughter and we have a wonderful time. So close to everything we were able to walk everywhere. I have stayed this year with my sister, and again we enjoyed the service, the rooms, and the lovely breakfast.

A Great Value for a family of 4. The location is not perfect but good - Down side is you must walk a few blocks to either Gastown or somewhere else to have solid dinning choices. Upside is you get some exercise. Other upside is their is a water taxi next to the Casino which is right behind the Dome (which is right next to the hotel so maybe a 5 minute walk to the water taxi). The water taxi connects to most places.

Breakfast is above average but not perfect (could use some more protein selections = no meats or cheeses and no eggs for the first 2 days.....only had eggs the last day and the way they "made" them was a bit odd = too hard to explain) - but the value of the breakfast being included with the room is undeniable and they do an excellent job of keeping it stocked during peak times.

No pool but nice jacuzzi on the top floor with a rec center and place to hang out.
The bottom line is you almost have to give this place 5 stars simply for the value.

I love this hotel. I stay here every time I am in town, about every 4-6 months. The location is great, right on Robson street, the staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are amazing and the free breakfast is the icing on the cake! Not your typical continental bagels and coffee, but we're talking pancakes, different cereal, eggs...yum!

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
