I booked a King Bed room for a few nights to attend a sporting event happening downtown. The Burrard has an excellent Downtown location with fantastic walkability. It's close to bars, restaurants, the waterfront, parks, the stadium, and a main train station. They had a cute courtyard to sit in and enjoy when the weather is nice, too. AND it has secure on-site parking if you are given a VIP upgrade (I got mine though Expedia). The hotel is also secure and safe with locking front doors after a certain hour, and an elevator activated by key card. I learned on my last night there that they offer snacks for a Sober Night In, which I thought was a cool perk. The lobby hosts chip snacks and non-alcoholic cocktails all evening. Very considerate for guest safety. The only thing that lacked was the showerhead in the bathroom. It was downright atrocious. The water pressure was non existent in my room. Maybe it is better in others. The temperature was great though so if you're a bath person then you'll be just fine. read more

I can't believe I found this hotel on my own. It is kitchy, it's turquoise and yellow with AstroTurf rugs all outside. You enter your rooms from an outside quarter not an inside hallway. And if you're on the top floor like I was your corridor overlooks the courtyard filled with palm trees, and a fire pit and ping pong table and lots of seating. And at night everything is covered with lights it is so nice I was in a king room facing the road because I didn't mind the noise but I ended up facing the St Paul's Hospital lights of Hope wall which was so pretty and a terrific View. In the room there's a fridge that they replace bottled water with free for you and cream for the nescafe coffee, which I actually really like I've never had it before. There's lots of Lights and a big giant television. The bathroom is Tiny and there's the most absurdly little sink that is also kind of cute. I didn't care what the bathroom size because I didn't find a big bathroom really necessary. Every night from 7:00 to 10:00 they have a non-alcoholic happy hour in the lobby where you can get cans of non-alcoholic cocktails and chips. One night they didn't have chips so they gave me two drinks, although drinks are unlimited they made me take two. In the basement there is a microwave for everyone to use, and washer and dryer. You can borrow a bike and an umbrella. I am definitely staying here the next time I go to Vancouver read more

Did a single night post cruise. It was in a great location, near a bunch of places to eat. The positives: Very convenient to the gay bars of Vancouver on Davie Bikes to use The room was clean. The room had a free bottle of wine, chips, a chocolate bar and two bottles of water in the fridge when I arrived. Nespresso Machine Kettle Big TV Iron/Ironing Board The negatives Paper thin walls Next door to a hospital, so there were ambulances The free bikes needed tuneups and their brakes fixed The laminate flooring wasn't flat in my room Things I didn't use was the garden area which had some games, there was a Galaga video game, and a piano to play in the parking garage. read more

For context, I started this review when I was in the middle of a 5-day stay here about a year ago, and so it's written in the present tense. It's a renovated 50s motor hotel, located less than a block from Davie Street on Burrard (duh), that's gone retro chic. All in all, I'd call it mixed-positive. Things I like: The room has a very comfortable king-sized bed and plenty of plugs, and there's free Wi-fi. By and large, housekeeping seems solid and when you call with a service issue, they seem friendly and on the ball about responding. Things I like less: The temperature control in the room seems a bit wonky (I basically had my heat off, but the room doesn't cool down much), and if you want to use the portable air/heat unit, it's loud as hell. There is no bar soap available--just this apricot-scented combo body wash/shampoo. Not my fave. Bathroom is small, with a small sink, so I frequently found myself spilling water (not much counter space either). Given that it's only four stories, there's not much of a view from the room. Ultimately, while I think it's a solid enough hotel, I also don't know if it's quite my vibe. I found myself wishing I'd picked the Sheraton or the EXchange, two spots I've stayed at previously. The rooms at both felt more comfortable, and perhaps I got lucky, but I had beautiful views. And I think I just like something a little bigger and aesthetically more modern. (Particularly in the case of the EXchange, I'm aware that it's a good bit more expensive.) However, my personal taste aside, The Burrard might be just the right spot for you depending on where in Vancouver you want to be. read more

staying at the burrard was a pleasure. it's in a great location, offers first come first serve parking (be prepared to have to park elsewhere if you arrive late in the day,) has lots of amenities that make for a comfortable stay and have a friendly, welcoming staff. the price per night is reasonable for what you get, the proximity to elysian coffee is going to make people happy in the mornings and there are fun perks like non alcoholic happy hour in the lobby and games like ping pong and cornhole in the courtyard. i would assume when warmer weather hits the hotel is thriving but on the vancouver sun run weekend with thousands of participants, the hotel remained quiet and a nice refuge from the busy street. when i checked out, i was asked if i preferred a printed itemized receipt or delivered via email. i chose the latter and never received it which was kind of annoying but if i have an issue when i see the final charge on the credit card, i will call the hotel directly. i'd not only stay at the burrard again, id recommend it to others as a good value for the comforts they offer. the sheets and bed were very comfortable, the housekeeping staff was amenable and the bathroom was spotless when i arrived. it made for a nice weekend stay north of the border. read more

The Burrard - inner courtyard - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Hotel in downtown Vancouver with a coastal decor - sort of like Miami. They have a nice patio area in the middle of the building with a fire pit, ping pong table, and a few chairs/tables. Rooms are a bit dated, but sufficient. it's an older building that's had a remodel. Across the street from a hospital, so can get loud from the street noise and vehicles. Our room had an inside portable air conditioner, which was loud and kept turning off and on to try to hold a temp. Luckily I can sleep through the noise. But may bother light sleepers. Front desk was friendly and welcoming. There's also a video game machine that was free to play. Not my first choice of accommodations in Vancouver, but it was available and price was inexpensive. read more

I stayed here for the first time for two nights on the recommendation of an acquaintance. There is a hospital right across from the hotel, so it is noisy on weekends, so I was recommended to go to the garden side. The room was said to be spacious because it was updated. I had everything I needed, but the sink was so small that every time I washed my face, the floor fell and the legs got wet. , which made me uncomfortable. The soap provided in the bathroom was quite difficult to use because it would not come out without squeezing the bottle. The hair dryer was in the opposite direction, and it was convenient on the left. Other than that, the room is clean and convenient. The hotel staff is kind and gives a good impression. Next time, I want to stay upstairs. read more

Nice comfortable king bed in our room. The shower was hot and perfect at the end of a long travel day. Convenient location. They have a free non alcoholic happy hour- palomas and chips in lobby- 7-10 pm ish. Dog friendly. Felt really safe. Nice courtyard. And you get to wake up with fresh espresso in the room! read more

A 50s style motor lodge that's been kind of tricked out, brought up to date for modern times yet retains some of that vintage vibe. LOVE IT. We stayed 4 days recently and also got other family members a room for 3 days. Love the small, intimate and cozy nature of the lodge, the quiet rooms and best of all, King size beds. Plenty of outlets for electronic gear and a refridgerator. The second floor has a fire pit with plenty of space to sit around and evenings after dinners out we found ourselves enjoying the warmth of the fire and the lights (not to be missed) and palm trees behind the area. Just off the lobby in the hotel is The Elysian, a superb espresso shop with snacks and light sandwiches. Some of the best coffee in the area was to be found here. The staff is spot on service oriented, friendly, and a real pleasure to be around. Bottom line: this is a great place to stay and is close to Davie street which has a lot of great places to eat, bars and small shops. Love this place, very highly recommended. read more

Would ya look at this joint? Full of classic history right smack dab in the mid-20th century, the recent management reinvigorated the sweet retro cool vibe of that era with enough modern flair to continue serving the masses. What I really dig is that none of the gaudy features of that era rolled over here. The interesting & indeed the appealing features of those good ol' times were the uniquely cool vertical, horizontal & geometric styles; coupled with slick cursive penmanship in "centerpiece" writing/names and ohhh baby, what a zinger(!). Also, that interior courtyard space is quite the vibe; it must be super charming during non-Winter seasons. Great location downtown. The front staff were cordial & friendly. Nice surprises that may not be noticeable during bookings are discounts to local businesses. I asked about onsite amenities and, while minimal, they were happy to share day passes to a local gym (which I totally used) are available daily. My room was fairly small & economical with compact bathroom but quite fine to make it work. The bed texture was fairly good, the recessed flatscreen TV with shelf ledge and view of the hospital holiday lights across the street were night highlights. One main ding I'd say is the unexpected bump at the door; I've almost tripped on it more than once (maybe a thumb height). read more

We stayed during the Taylor Swift tour. While the prices were inflated as all hotels were during that time, the hotel staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They provided a Swiftie welcome swag, snacks, and set up a special photo booth for concert goers to take pictures. Extremely convenient location with a new Starbucks right across the street. read more

The Burrard - Swiftie welcome swag - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A little over priced, but it was worth it. The Burrard is definitely quite a boutique hotel, it's very obvious this is an older property that has been renovated; but its been done so fabulously. The hotel is located downtown and in a perfect location for walking distance from all the popular nightlife. The staff were extremely friendly upon check in and even let me check in early. The price is a bit on the steep side but is very comparable to the hotels in the area. They give complementary bikes to ride around town, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The Nespresso coffee machine in the room was very convenient & the courtyard was extremely comfortable with a fireplace to lounge by! They also allow pets for a fee, however I was not charged for my puppers. Overall I would definitely recommend The Burrard! Will definitely return! read more

Great spot to stay during a visit to Vancouver. Centrally located - walk to the sea wall or shopping district. Short Uber anywhere in the city. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean and they offer free snacks at 7PM. Excellent coffee shop in the lobby - get the yogurt parfait...loved this place and would come back. read more

Posting this everywhere I can find in hopes it reaches management since all emails appear to go straight to the front desk. James at the front desk is so ridiculously rude. The website states to email for a price match. I found and booked a lower refundable price through Agoda, and emailed the hotel direct as per their instructions. James has done nothing but argue about it, tell me it doesn't include taxes even though it clearly states it does, argue about it being refundable even though it clearly states it is. He refused to listen to me even after I called to discuss and rudely ended the call. All I was trying to do was book directly with the hotel according to THEIR price match process, but I'm now cancelling my reservation entirely and booking elsewhere. Do not stay here. read more

The Burrard was the perfect choice for our quick little getaway to Vancouver. The location is great--many shops and restaurants nearby to explore. The staff in the lobby were friendly and even gave us restaurant suggestions. Also, they have a parking garage which is definitely a positive! Price was decent and the room was clean! read more

This gem of a boutique hotel is the perfect spot for our stay while awaiting our cruise. It is eclectic, fun and clean. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable-- in particular, Rachelle at the front desk. ELsa was our attentive floor attendant. She was extremely helpful directing us to the different amenities that the hotel has (i.e. microwave, washer/dryer). She also helped us with extra towels. read more

I booked this property because it looked fun and funky online. It definitely has those attributes but also really lacks in others. Positives: Fun and funky touches throughout the spot Fireplace in the courtyard to enjoy Negatives: In the room we had an extension cord/outlet poorly taped to the side of the desk for us to use. There are dings in most of the furniture and walls. Most hotels have several different types of pillows on the bed but they have only the overstuffed version which isn't comfortable. They don't allow debit cards (with Visa symbols through a major bank) to check-in. I understand it can take a little longer for debits to release the damage deposit, but isn't that on me to manage my bank account? Small bathroom with limited areas to put toiletries Overall the property is fine but I definitely expected more luxury funky than tacky funky for the price. Location is also a bit sketchy and didn't feel safe to walk around in. read more

I will start with the positives.... Pros: -Newly renovated, fresh, small boutiquey, cute hotel! -Cute sassy art -Comfortable bed and sheets -They put candy on the pillow for you -You can borrow a bike for no extra charge! So cool. -The hotel staff were all very friendly! -It is connected to Elysian coffee, making it a convenient place to work (and use the hotel's free guest wifi) - AC unit in room -Good location for walking around downtown -They have ping pong and a fire pit -They were nice to call me a taxi whenever I needed it (one sweet girl even ran outside to flag one for me when she couldn't get through on the phone) Cons: -I noticed some oversights in the cleaning department (hair on my towels and in the shower) -The pillows suck, I have such a crick in my neck from sleeping on them - AC unit, yes they have one, but it is not central air so it doesn't just click on or off so all night I was fighting with being too cold or too hot in my room = poor sleep -The courtyard feels like your are in an old apartment building, not a ton of hang out space if people have taken over the pit and ping pong table -Let's just say that due to a homeless shelter nearby the people in this area could be a little sketch (I didn't go out at night by myself). During the day though, I felt perfectly safe. -Price...way over priced this time of year (Summer) for what you get. -Shower- pressure in my room was just ok. Give it a go if you want to see for yourself. read more

The room was very clean and bright. I also appreciated the nespresso machine in the room, and free coffee. You could grab extra capsules in the lobby as well as bottled water as you needed it. There is an outdoor seating area around an electric fire, and palm trees behind it. It's lovely because it feels like a piece of paradise in the heart of the city. It is centrally located downtown, so you can walk to the beach, to main shopping streets, restaurants/cafes and the art museum. If you don't want to walk, you can use the hotel's free bikes or easily access public transportation. The staff were accommodating and helpful with getting new towels and supplies. Because covid measures are in place, you need to leave garbage/recycling outside of your door and request new towels, bedding, etc at the front desk. Everyone is wearing masks in shared spaces, and covid measures are followed appropriately. The fire pit in the shared outside space could get a bit noisy at night when guests gathered around it, so it would be good if there were a cutoff time, when the fire is shut off. Also, some products in the bathroom, such as shampoo/conditioner/soap could be upgraded. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay in the city if you want a retro paradise feel that's close to everything. read more

Five of us shared one room. There were two full beds plus one cot. It was still pretty roomy even with the cot in the middle on the room. The staff was excellent. They gave us extra towels (bath, hand, & face). We didn't ask for maid service during our stay, but when we needed toilet paper, it came within 5 minutes. One of the staff members (Maria) even said hi to us when we ran into her on the street. This place offers free bike rentals, but unfortunately we didn't get to take advance of this. The bikes we saw were cute though! It had a wooden crate attached to the rear to carry your belongings. One thing that could be better is the lighting in the room. It was hard for us to get ready when it was dimly lit. The extra cot is $30/day The self parking is $28/day read more

After a two night stay at The Burrard, I can say that it's a great hotel for young folks (age or at heart) looking for a hip experience in the heart of the city. It's a refurbished motel with basic amenities, along with some essential upgrades like a very comfy bed and soft sheets. Dual soap/shampoo dispenser in the shower and some ok conditioner. It doesn't really matter since the Vancouver rain and wind will surely have its way with your 'do, no matter if you try or not to tame. The location is perfect for waking around downtown. Street noise can be interesting at night. There was the occasional rant or loud vehicle, but as someone who used to live in a urban environment I find that strangely soothing. There's also a Burgoo and nice coffee shop next door so you've got good food and drink readily available. Kudos for the gummy candy left on the bed. Can't resist a sweet treat. read more

It is a cool little hotel in the middle of town. Pleasant staff, nice Nespresso coffee maker in the room, and bikes to use if you want. It is not like a typical big chain hotel so if you can adjust your expectations you'll have a great time. read more

Disappointing. I paid $400 for a "queen plus" room that appears to book for more than $500 on their direct booking site. The room is minuscule, but I could deal with that if the rest of the experience was worth the rate. The carpet from entrance to the other side of the room has large, long bubbles (see photo). I literally tripped over one on entering the room for the first time. Tiniest bathroom sink I've ever seen...where do you get this? So small that washing my face meant soaking the floor, my shoes, the entire area because there was no way to keep the water in the basin area. Soiled window curtain. Though it was cold and raining outside, the room was hot and stuffy. No place to ventilate the room except a window in the bathroom that cracks open. The AC is a stand alone unit that is incredibly loud. Scraped paint in doorways and cheaply made furniture. Blah. I booked because The Burrard holds a bit of hip cache and the rooms appeared from pictures to be crisp and comfortable. Two stars for pleasant front staff, location, water/coffee/tea. I would NOT recommend this place. Better to stay at the Howard Johnson or another chain nearby. read more

James, the nice guy at the front desk greeted us as we arrived at 1:30 AM. He offered us water, candy package and a warm hello after a very long flight and an efficient, but time consuming de board and customs check in. The hotel is a charming updated 1950's motel, with doors to each room secured by a wonderful center courtyard entry. At night the fire table and seating area outside on second floor provides a wonderful gathering place with a ping pong table. The room was well accommodated, extremely clean and meticulous in design and style. Great nespresso style coffee pods and nice shower system. Amazingly quiet in room 322. And the bed, heavenly. Two pillows to choose from, appears that a few are extra thick. Shower well supplied and room is so clean and linens, cotton. Overall, lovely start to our stay in Vancouver, BC. We will return! Mahalo! read more

Stayed here from the period of Oct 30 - Nov 2nd 2021. Had booked 2 rooms. One room in the corner with two beds and one room in the middle which was 1 king bed. The formation style of the room was different the King room has a tub and the 2 bed room had a walk in shower type of thing. Depending on your preference mine is the with the tub, put that into consideration before booking or Request. The location was nice right in downtown and walkable distance to everywhere. Note that its right next to the Sheraton Wall Centre if ever lost. But be aware that is right across from the hospital where there is a lot of sketchy people lying outside. The hotel has a a feature where they lock all doors after midnight to not let those people walk in and cause a Ruckus which happened quite a number of times. The front desk was very pleasant and easy to check in. Note they only have ONE elevator so the stairs was not bad as there was only 4 floors. Our rooms were on the 4th floor so treking up and down the stairs was an ok for us. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I would stay here again A+++ read more

This is a quaint hotel in the middle of a bustling city in downtown Vancouver. It is dated but we thought there would be a novelty to it. They tried to make it work but here's what annoyed us. The sink was so small every time you used it, my clothes were all wet from the backsplash of brushing my teeth or washing my face. I ended up just using the tub. Good thing we were at least on the third floor as I'm sure the city noises would have been bad if we were lower. The sirens and other city noises were frequent being by a hospital. Also, you have to go in the back alley to the entrance of the car parking on the first floor and basement which subjected you to the homeless and drug addicts that poop and pee in the alley. They would aggregate in that alley using drugs. It's not the hotels fault but they are a victim of this problems which is all over big cities. The Nespresso coffee maker helped us start the day right. And there is a fridge which cooked our fruit for after dinner snack. read more

Cutest, most affordable hotel in Vancity. My boyfriend and I recently popped over for a one night trip to eat and drink our way through Vancouver. Living just 2 hours south, it's easy to come for a quick trip and see what we can in spurts. So on this trip we booked a room at the Burrard and absolutely loved it. Wanting to be close to Granville Island, this hotel is walking distance to both the CBD and Granville. We got lots of exercise and the little sanctuary that was our room was in the heart of a lot of other activities in Yaletown. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a fancy place to stay, but that's what we loved about it. Simple, cute and clean, the room was small and just what we needed for a place to crash. Parking was below the hotel in a secure garage, there were free bikes to borrow to ride around the city on, and the style and decor here is unforgettable. Sort of like a time warp to the 1960's, you're transported to a colorful, clean Jetson's style hotel. On the main level there's a little restaurant called Betty's and even a 7-11 if you need to stock up on food or other supplies 24/7. I'll definitely stay here again! read more

Cool retro-themed hotel at a good price! They have these free bikes that they let you rent for free, which is nice because you have to pay for parking everywhere in Vancouver. They also give you complementary gym membership to a nearby gym for the duration of your stay (since there's no on-site gym), and free water bottles in every room. Nespresso machine, pods, and a mini fridge also included in-room. The hotel feels very cool and hip with the bright colors and awesome signs. The only thing is that the bathroom is pretty tiny, with a tiny sink and low water pressure in the shower. There's also no fan in the bathroom, only a window, which is not ideal for pooping during cold weather. There's also a courtyard on the second floor (first floor is parking) with lots of trees and plants and benches and tables. The location is pretty close to a lot of restaurants and shops, but we didn't want to walk because it was freezing when we came. All in all, I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Vancouver! read more

Affordable, sure, but I wouldn't call The Burrard "cheap". Firstly, when I was in Vancouver, the rate was well over $150 a night. Secondly, the amenities are far better than what you world expect from a "cheap" hotel. At check in, you give them your credit card so they can take a deposit for incidentals, but soon after they tell you about how you get free wifi, free bottled water, free phone calls, etc, and are left wondering what incidentals could there be? The Burrard has the appearance of a hotel that was recently purchased and has been remodeled and upgraded. Outside of the lack of AC, I have no complaints about the place. A $30 cabride from the airport, The Burrard is centrally located, downtown. Only a block away from the West End, there's certainly plenty of nightlife. A five minute walk south takes you to Robson, with all of it's fine dining, high end shopping, the mall, etc. _________________________________ Notes: * Free WiFi * Free & Unlimited Calls Anywhere in North America * Free Bottled Water (AKA. Zero Calorie Drink) * Nespresso machine in the lobby and in room with caffeinated and decaf pods * Pretty sweet LCD HDTVs with HD cable service (plenty of channels) * Power strip on the desk, with USB Ports * Mini Fridge, Cordless Phone, nearby coffee shop, nearby 7-Eleven, nearby taxi stand....okay, I'll stop gushing about this place, I'll be staying here on my next trip, for sure. read more

Melrose Place-esque I had reservations to stay here when they first opened, but a missing cat and broken leg thwarted my plans. Enter the summer of 2016; we were making our way up north for our friends 50th wedding anniversary, and decided to prolong our holiday by a few days and head up a little further north to Vancouver. I've always had a crush on this town and wish I lived a little closer. Due to some unexpected circumstances, we had to leave our friends party earlier then planned and arrived in the city VERY early. Entering the lobby, the decor and fun artwork made me smile. The young lady working front desk was very friendly and let us check in early. (Thank You!) We had reserved a larger room but they didn't have one available. They gave us free parking and a slight discount in return. The court yard was well planned out. I loved the landscaping, and colorful yet functional furniture. The room was a little tight but was cute enough and met our needs. The roll away a/c unit was much appreciated. The bathroom was spotless, but tiny. One of the shelves above the toilet was angled downwards a little and made me rethink putting anything onto it. The water pressure wasn't strong but they had plenty of hot water. The most important thing, the bed, was heavenly! We slept very well. Being on a top floor helped and is always appreciated. The location can't be beat, as it was walking distance to almost everything on our agenda. The convent parking in the lot below was a plus. We also enjoyed the coffee shop that adjoined the hotel. I loved our stay! I can't think of staying anywhere else. Give me charm over cooperate any day. read more

Neat hotel, great location, and very reasonable price. The Burrard is an old interior-courtyard-style motel renovated in a sort of neo-60s Palm Beach style and combined with gracious service and modern amenities to create a boutique hotel with oodles of personality. Just check out the photos which will show you more about this unique property than I could ever describe. Our limited interactions with the staff were pleasant and helpful. The building is within short to medium walking distance of everything that you would want to see or do in downtown Vancouver. The rooms are generally petty small, but well appointed. Besides, the hotel is just so neat that it's a treat to stay here. Here are some details that stood out: + Two free bottled waters + Wall-mounted flat screen TV + mini fridge + free wi-fi - No cups - Tiny sink - No exhaust fan in bathroom, leading to constantly damp room Another thing that I noticed is that all the decor in the room is black, white, or metallic, except for the (mostly hidden) bed frame and the bedside table, which are dark brown wood. It doesn't match, almost jarringly so. But quibbles aside, this was a fun and satisfactory hotel stay that was curiously cheap given the combination of factors. read more

I don't like giving 5 stars but I really can't think of a reason not to. This place was amazing. I'm from Long Beach, CA (Los Angeles) and my boyfriend and I traveled up here for a quick vacation. We wish we had an extra day to just lay around the hotel room and watch TV. Location: perfect, it was walking distance to everything downtown. There is a coffee shop located right next door. Green: The advertise a lot to save water and not wash the sheets if not necessary. Which is awesome. They also GIVE you for FREE 2 water bottles in the room and you can refill them in the lobby anytime. Amenities: They allow you to use they're Mac computer in the lobby and can print anything as well. (which came in handy when I forgot to book and print our train tickets). We went during Jan so it was a little cold, but we want to go back when it warms up and use their free bikes! Cleanliness: The place is very clean. I am a freak and typically show with sandals in hotel showers because the floor grosses me out. I did not have to use flip flops this time! Very very clean. Parking: They have an inclosed parking structure for $25 for a night and since you're downtown its pretty reasonable. We are trying to figure in another trip to VAN this year and will definitely stay here again. read more

Okay, so I won't lie. I had booked another, much fancier hotel prior to booking the Burrard. Then, last minute I decided there was no point in spending an arm and a leg, plus I found a great deal on Booking.com and it came highly recommended by a coworker. When I arrived, the front desk staff was friendly and helped to check me in, then directed me on how to get into the secured parking garage. When I got to my room I was originally a bit let down but it soon grew on me. It had a super cute and contemporary style and the bed was really comfortable. Being from California, this property felt like I was in Palm Springs - which was refreshing and made me feel like I was at home. The rooms were equipped with coffee makers and with a telephone that had free long distance calling in North America - YES! This was a great added bonus! On top of clean rooms and great service this hotel had a PRIME location. I went everywhere. And I did it all on the bikes the hotel has that you can rent. It was the dead of winter when I went so all of the bikes were available, but I hear when the sun is out they are harder to come by. I rode the bike to Granville Island, to Stanley park, to Robson Shopping, to the Gastown, I rode it everywhere and it was the BEST feature of the hotel. Armed with maps and recommendations from the front desk, each day I attacked Vancouver and saw a bunch! Great property! read more

Let me start with the fact that I really liked this hotel. The decor is thoughtfully put together AND the signage is clever. This is huge. I want hotels with character and personality, which this one definitely has. They clearly hired or have some great designers/writers. The only reason this is not a 5 star is because the hot water broke at night, and my husband had to take a cold shower to try to wash off face paint from the Women's World Cup. We called down to inform them. They were very apologetic and tried to get it fixed quickly; however, I feel they could have gone that extra step to comp a night of our parking when we checked out the next day. I hate the customers that complain in order to get free stuff, so I operate on the hope that (if the business has fantastic service) they will go the extra distance without prompting. Regardless, I would still return to The Burrard because a 4 out of 5 is still a great hotel with good service. read more

The Burrard - Parking sign! So clever - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

How did I ever forget to review this blast from the past boutique hotel. If the Burrard were to be Too Hip To be Square...well then it would be the furthest thing from square i wager! What a hip spot! This far out, recently reno'd motel, teal coloured, faux-grass carpet in the hall and rainforest smack dab in the middle is the perfect mix of hip, comfort, cool, vintage, and a pinch of awesome!! The rooms are a good size for travel, clean, and cozy. Equipped with flat screens, a huge comfortable bed, and a cornucopia of freebies such as: bottled water, wifi, long distance and not a standard in room coffee maker BUT an in-room Nespresso Espresso machine God bless this spot they know the exact way to my heart! There's a desk for working and a small area for relaxing. Each room has an safe and mini-fridge as well. Standard fare for hotel accommodations in my books, but exceeds a standard motel expectation! I did find the bathroom to be a touch on the small side. OK in size for 1 person but don't even try to squish 2 in there - god forbid your night goes really well and you try for a 3. No luck chuck.. that's what the killer king size bed is for slugger :) However, I digress. This review was a long time coming and I I must say that this spot adheres to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle and does it well on on fronts. Staff is friendly, warm and helpful. Accommodations are simple, comfortable and perfect for what you need while on short term business. Bottom line this is where I'll be staying the next time I'm in Vancouver! read more
