Business Independent hotels in Vancouver, British Columbia

We were delighted with the quality of the accommodations and the staff at the River Rock. My wife claimed she had never stayed in a more luxurious room and the staff went overboard to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. A delightful weekend by all accounts!

We came yo Vancouver for a party that was held in one of the ballrooms at the hotel. We checked out the ratings and decided to stay on site. Our room had a water view with a balcony. The weather was beautiful and we opened the sliders and enjoyed the sea breeze and the view of downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park. The party was great, catering was spot on delicious and unobtrusive. We walked to the Longsdale Quay market and had coffee and breakfast outside. The hotel staff was welcoming and efficient.

My parents and I shared a room (it had 2 double beds). The room was a tight squeeze for 3 of us and our luggage, but it was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. We found all members of the hotel staff friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was delicious and the service was excellent! The hotel is well located with convenience store, A&W, Tim Hortons just across the street; shopping centre within 5 minutes walk; train station about 10 minutes away. A bonus was the free phone calls to anywhere in the world. We had a problem with the TV on 2 occasions but a staff responded to our call immediately and the problem was resolved within minutes.

Beautiful walk on the boardwalk while having our coffee in the morning

Location on Granville Island is lovely....market, art and artisan stores, funky shops, children's playground and a variety of restaurants all within a half hour circular stroll. Hotel's restaurant and many rooms look out into a yacht harbour and condo high rises in downtown Vancouver. Hotel is small....3 storey...quiet and tranquil in décor and atmosphere. Parking on Granville Island can be tight, but the hotel has enough reserved 24 hour spaces.

Accomadating reception, great food & service. Comfortable King bed.

The room was very quiet and the mattress was very comfortable. I slept very soundly.

It's awesome....

We enjoyed our stay in Viva for 4 nights, whilst the décor is a little dated, its pretty comfortable and in a great location. Has safe underground parking, decent Wi-Fi and an ok gym - for a hotel anyhow...there is a proper gym a block away. Recommend the sushi place around the corner near Tim Hortons. :)
