This hotel is a great spot for extended stays. It is an all suite hotel and in my room, I had an oven, microwave, fridge and stove top. Perfect for the traveler who wants to save money on dining out. It is in a great location on Robson Street close to theatres and sporting events. It is a bit tired and could use some updating, plus the bed was not the most comfortable, but for the price and location, this is a great spot.

We stayed for 4-nights at the Rosedale on Robson. This was the beginning of a month long independent tour of BC and Alberta - mostly staying in small B&Bs - and we were not disappointed with our first accommodation, the first of two hotels out of the total of nine places we stayed.

I was a bit concerned prior to our arrival by other TA reviews regarding the refurbishment (or lack of) of the rooms but my concern was unfounded.

We were allocated room 508 - a refurbished suite for two. The whole of the 5th floor appears to have been refurbished. The space was brilliant with a separate bedroom with king size bed (spare pillows and blankets in drawers). There was a galley kitchenette (fridge/hot plates and sink) with tea, coffee and milk which was very useful for a 'cuppa' in the morning. The bathroom was very clean with good toiletries, towels and flannels. There was a living area with writing desk and TV and a second TV in the bedroom. The rooms were serviced every day.

The hotel entrance is actually located just off of Robson Street and I was expecting some noise as it is in the heart of Vancouver (there is also a fire station a few doors down). However it was fairly quiet, especially as the rooms are double glazed. As I am married to a fresh air addict the window was opened a little each night and despite being a light sleeper I had no problem, although some people might want earplugs to be on the safe side. The location is perfect for accessing Robson Street for shops (30 seconds!), Gastown (10-minutes walk) and Canada Place (15-minutes walk). There is a cash-point for Visa and Master cards situated in the 7-11 on the corner of the street which is safe and has no charge for Nationwide Visa holders.

There is a pool and Jacuzzi along with some running machines etc. on the ground floor (to the left of the reception) which we did not use but looked clean etc. Breakfast is not included but Rosies is situated in the hotel and is good value.

Our recommendation however is to have breakfast in 'Cafe Vancouver' a turkish cafe situated on the opposite side of the road next to the fire station. The coffee is superb and they have free WiFi access. We ended up there each morning having cinnamon muffins and pastries whilst catching up with emails. In fact that is the only downside of the hotel - is a lack of free internet access. The only way to access the internet was to register with an external company and pay by the minute. In this day and age I expect all big hotels to have internet capacity. However this is a small down-side and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to all.

The Rosedale is a great place to stay. The hotel is within a couple of blocks of the Yaletown shopping and entertainment district and centrally located to other tourist attractions in Vancouver. Although the rooms were a bit small for a suite, the one we stayed in had a small stove, nice size refrigerator, and a great view of the area. Regardless of the size of the room, the hotel was well kept and reasonably priced. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

The room was very comfortable and clean. We asked for a different room because the first room smelled of smoke, and immediately apologetic staff came to assist with room change. Microwave, coffeemaker, fridge and cookware included, good for family trips. Great central location, but away from noise. Pool was a little greenish?, but jacuzzi and sauna good. Small little continental breakfast in hotel special was fresh and well stocked. Good overall experience, would go again.

The room was a lovely size, with a kitchen/living area separate to the bedroom, which was very handy with four girls travelling a great bonus. Laundry facilities are excellent, pool was really nice to have a swim. The staff could not do enough for us. highly recommend.

This is a great hotel. It is right in the middle of everything in downtown Vancouver. It was a great "home base" from which to go sightseeing during the day, and then to come home to get ready to experience the night life in the evening. Very close to the art gallery, shopping, bars/clubs, and restaurants. The room I stayed in was very comfortable with separate living and bed rooms and a kitchenette in between. The views were spectacular (I was on the 17th floor). During my 3 day stay, I always felt "at home" when coming back to the room after a long day.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were able to help me plan my sightseeing around town both with transportation and tips on where to go and where not to.
Overall, this hotel helped to make my first trip to Vancouver a great one. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be in the heart of it all, who still wants the comforts of home!

The Rosedale on Robson Hotel has a lot going for it including its location in downtown Vancouver and its reputation with Travel Agents. I found it to be clean, adequately roomy and serviced by friendly and helpful staff. Almost without exception the staff at the front counter have good knowledge of local facilities, entertainment and advice on what to see and where to go. The restaurant and bar of the Hotel is popular and provided large meals at competitive prices. If the menu wasn't to your liking then there are many, many options a short walk away - particularly in nearby Yaletown. As you would expect for the price, rooms are cleaned on a daily basis along with fresh sheets and towels - love that part of Hotel accommodation!

You may be able to find cheaper but if you were looking for a safe, reliable option then this is a good place to stay.

I highly recommend the Rosedale for anyone looking for a suite or even a normal hotel room. The location is great and rooms were clean and lobby was quite big, there is a restaurant/bar downstairs that you could buy off=sales liquor and served pub food along with a daily breakfast buffet. There were lots of firemen and policemen staying at the hotel as Vancouver was hosting the World Firefighter and Police games. This place is a great location and decent value. No real thrills but the staff is friendly and close to everything

Location is great, service was excellent, however the interior is sadly dated and in need of a refresh. The first room I was booked in smelled strongly of smoke, so if you are sensitive be sure to request a room on a floor that has always been non-smoking. Kitchenette may be useful to families, not particularly useful for a business traveler. For the money, there are better options in Vancouver.

Based on the reviews on TA, we decided stayed at the Rosedale as the location seemed ideal as a base and we got a great corporate rate. We had a one-bedroom deluxe with a king bed in a separate bedroom along with a queen sofa pullout in the living room. Each room had a television with lots of channels, a small kitchen area with refrigerator, microwave, oven top and coffee maker.

The Rosedale was in the perfect location for us to do all of our sightseeing... it's on the corner of Hamilton St and Robson St, at the east end of Robson. It was more quiet as we were a few blocks away from all of the hustle and bustle of central Robson but still only about a 5 minute walk from everything. If you head down Hamilton St., you will end up in the very chic area of Yaletown with lots of very cool restaurants, shops and bars/clubs.

This is a hotel that understands overseas tourists - and I'm sure locals as well! We stayed here three times during our 4 week stay in Canada. Arriving via Japan early in the morning and were welcomed and given our room key. We returned twice. The rooms are more than adequate and we loved Rosies where we joined the locals in their support for the Canucks. We would return there any time.
