Frommer's "Its rates remain a bargain almost year-round and upper floors have sweeping views; rooms feel a bit little like a high-rise motel but they are spacious and quiet." Full review
Lonely Planet "The good-value suites have the kind of quality, business-hotel furnishings common in pricier joints and all have corner balconies." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"The location is the highlight of this mid-range hotel, situated alongside the restaurants and bars on Robson Street and within walking distance of numerous Downtown Vancouver attractions." Full review
Time Out "Whirlpool, lap pool, sauna and treadmills - all at an affordable price and, what's more, in the centre of town." Full review
Star Service "Unlike the true boutique-hotels in town, including the mediocre Moda and fine Hotel Listel, this place has a rater banal ambience that suits business travelers better than romantics and vacationers." Full review
BlackBook "A renovated '60's charmer whose humble, unfussy rooms with ocean-hued accents are made spectacular by the real thing on display from private balconies or top floor meeting facilities."

Not too surprisingly, it’s extremely busy in summer, so be sure to book ahead.
Rough Guide "In a former nunnery on a quiet residential stretch in the West End one block from Davie St’s restaurants and shops, this hostel has 222 beds split up between shared and private rooms."
Time Out "Despite the 'downtown' in its name, this HI is in the West End. Bike rentals and daily tours/activities around the city are offered." Full review
Lonely Planet "It says 'downtown' but this purpose-built hostel is on a quiet residential West End side street." Full review
