It is situated on a W. Pender Street, which the public transportation system is very accessible, whether train, bus or sea bus. It is near to convenience stores and fast food. It is very near to the downtown city's attractions like the Harbour Center, 20-min bus to Stanley Park, and 10-min sea bus ride to Lonsdale Quay. Though situated on a busy street, the room is sound-proof. The room is compact, but the quality and cleanliness of the room makes up for it. Customer service is excellent.

We stayed for one-night and the breakfast is more than continental. It included generous bagels, danishes, cereals, orange juice, fruits and has pancake-styled scrambled eggs. The breakfast-attendant make sure there is always abundant supply, utensils are complete, and the tables/chairs are clean/ready for the next occupants. We have given her a generous tip, though not required, which is worth taking the breakfast than grabbing one from to-go-breakfast station/s.

One downside is the aisles'/corridor's smell due to dampness. Probably worth the management to invest further in forced heated ventilation. Don't worry, the faint smell doesn't go inside the bedrooms.

Definitely worth the stay, will even do it next time --- a good bang for the buck!

TIP: Staying in the rooms at the west side of the hotel would able to see the Harbour Center Tower.

We stayed in Ramada Downtown Vancouver for 2 nights before we took the Alaska cruise. The hotel is located close to the seafront as well as the historic gas town. The room was a trifle small, and had a view of the terrace of other buildings-so not great. But, once we got out of the hotel and walked out we were right in the heart of downtown and the water front. All the tours had a pick up point at the hotel itself. The breakfast was in a basement room. It was minimal with no hot food like omelets etc, but was sufficient. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and I will surely choose the same hotel if I were to go again.

The hotel is just one block off the Gastown district, which is convenient but also close to some less than desirable parts of the city. That is the only negaitve comment. The desk personnel were fabulous, valet helpful, and the facilities remarkably like many European hotels. The breakfast room in the basement was particularly continental, and the meal was quite sufficient. We even had a whirlpool tub in our room and did not request it. For the price, could not be beat!

Helpful, friendly staff, great room and bed, good breakfast. Easy access to sights in downtown Vancouver BC and also only a short walk to the sky train. Good value too. So much better quality/price ratio than the Sheraton I stayed at afterwards (which was nice but charged extra for every little thing, including WiFi, which the Ramada doesn't).

The hotel did meet my need and is well located. The flooring in the room made squeaking noise when you walked on it. The hotel is well located to downtown Vancouver. The hotel staff was friendly and pleasant. It is not in the safest area but just don't park on the street there is a parking lot about 2 blocks down from the hotel or you can do valet parking.But overall the hotel served our need best.

Room is quite cramped, as the bed is nearly 2 feet away from the bathroom entrance. The rooms are tiny and the continental breakfast was average. Other then that, staff were friendly and full of smiling faces. The hotel was quite well kept, clean and the location is quite good. The air conditioner in the room is quite large, obtrusive and noisy. Bathroom is tiny. Not the nicest shower head but not the worst.

The staff were very pleasant, informative and knowledgeable. The rooms, although small, were very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the convenience of the location of the hotel and were able to walk to most of the historic downtown, Yaletown and Gas Town. Inexpensive bus service to Stanley Park is also a very easy walk from the hotel.

This hotel was perfectly nice for the price we paid. It was conveniently located in central Vancouver and the desk staff were very helpful with directions and recommendations. The breakfast buffet was a little underwhelming but it was a fast and free way to grab a quick bite.

Hotel was very accommodating for our one night stay in Vancouver. A good stay for one night if getting there a day before cruise. Employees were very polite and very helpful.

This hotel was my first stay in Vancouver before moving out in the Spring. I found the check in was painless and efficient. They staff were very knowledgeable and easy to approach. The area is ok- I was not intimidated to walk in the area after dusk and the front entrance was well lit. Lobby was refreshing and well updated. Elevator was a little slow. Room was pleasant and well lit. Temperature was well regulated and room had tasteful decor. Window did not open all the way and was frosted- a bit of a bother. T.V. stopped working my first night there. Phone call to front desk got me the duty manager and the TV was replaced (or fixed- not sure which) the next day. Bathroom was clean and well maintained. Water pressure was hit and miss. Room price was decent value, however there is no on-site parking and valet to a parking lot is $20.00/ day, which I found a little unfair. Breakfast area was clean and well stocked at 7:30 AM, 8 AM, 9:15 AM and 10:10 AM. Housekeeping staff was friendly and willing to address any concerns. Hallways were clean and looked un-traveled (a rare occurrence in many hotels). Stairways were clean and properly maintained. Valet service is sometimes backed up in the mornings, so call half hour ahead of time. Site does not have a pool or sauna- but I think it is acceptable for the area and age of the hotel. The building is a gem, and more surprising it is very well maintained. Many of these old buildings used as hotels are not kept up properly due to maintenance issues and costs, but that was not so in this case. Very impressed with staff and management.

We spent two nights here before our Alaskan cruise and were very pleased. Room was very up to date with a comfortable bed. Breakfast had good variety but the breakfast room was hot.
People at the desk were very helpful. Very good value.

We were very happy with this hotel. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, and happy to answer any questions.

The room was on the small side but perfectly big enough and what you'd expect from a city centre hotel. There was still plenty of room to put things away. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in and the bedding looked brand new. The bathroom was a good size and the shower was always hot and had good pressure.

The breakfast was good and had a surprisingly large selection. The only problem was that it was so hot in the room, and gets quite crowded.

We thought the hotel's location was excellent, and easy walking distance to most of the sights. In fact we walked everywhere, even to stanley park but that might be too far for some people. Yes there are homeless people but no more than anywhere else in the city. We felt perfectly safe but we didn't go out after dark so can't comment on what it was like then.

The only negatives about our stay were that when we arrived the carpet in our room wasn't hoovered properly, although it was the next morning, and that although we heard no street or other guest noise, there was a really loud but unidentifiable white noise coming from the corridor. It may have been a fan or something like that but although it didn't keep us awake it was intrusive.

Overall though I'd highly recommend this hotel.
