Top Vancouver Hotel Reviews

The Burrard

The Burrard

8/10 Good
"Great location with many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The hotel has some fun art and all employees we interacted with were professional and provided quality customer service. The property very obviously was a motel in it's layout and the room itself was basic but clean and served its purpose. We were facing the street and it was loud at night and you could hear every sound from surrounding rooms. The attached coffee shop was a bit overpriced but convenient, however there were many other options nearby."
