Nelson Island Vacations from $888

The hotel needed some work on the outside. The inside had been refurbished for the upcoming Fifa games. The room was cozy and bright with the most comfortable bed my husband & I have ever slept in. The room was very clean, but modest. We also had a view of the Vancouver skyline from our 3rd floor window. Hondra, the manager, was very gracious and helpful upon our arrival and throughout our 4 day stay. She was very available, though not always onsite. We had privacy and quiet. The hotel is located in the Vancouver suburb of Collingswood. It has a lowkey vibe which was wonderful to return to after a busy day in the dynamic high energy city. If you are looking for a good budget hotel this is the one.

The view is quite lovely! Wish the pool/hot tub area was a bit bigger, but loved the design of the property and the rooms were well kept. Ability to rent bikes to ride around downtown was a nice touch!

The hotel staff was incredibly kind and helpful.

"Traditional" style hotel (built in the early 1900's), well located in the City Centre and about 10-15 mins walk from the Waterfront area. 5-10 mins walk from the Skytrain stations at City Centre (Airport line) or Granville (Expo Line), plus close to several major bus/trolleybus routes. A pleasant change to find that the rooms were serviced (and bed made) each day as well, something that a lot of places haven't bothered with in the past 5 or so years. Will certainly look at staying there again on future trips to Vancouver. Didn't sample any of the associated eating/drinking establishments during my stay though, but discount vouchers were provided for those on checking in.

Great hotel, great staff, luxury at a reasonable price
