Lonely Planet
"While some recent revamping has taken place, most of the 52 rooms at this 1910-built Euro-style pension are still conventionally basic."

"An affordable downtown hotel is a rarity for Vancouver, but if you can do without the frills, the Kingston offers a clean, safe, inexpensive place to sleep."
