Prós: Breakfast, character, staff friendliness, style

Contras: Shared bathroom

Great location and old-world charm.

Prós: Great location, just a block and a half from Hastings St., near restaurants and shops. Breakfast room was great to be in, listening to all the languages and accents. Hotel exudes old-world charm, and my room was very quiet.

Contras: The lack of a writing desk was a problem, but I was able to use the nice desk in the communal hall on my floor. Most rooms share the bathroom, and the shower, among several rooms on that floor, but this was never a problem for me (staying almost a whole week). There was also no air-conditioning, but this was also never a problem, with the cool Vancouver weather (never above 70F during a week in July!) and a window that can stay open all day.

Great stay for young couple

Prós: Room was charming Clean bathroom Comfortable bed Boutique exposed brick Location Great value for traveling young couple not concerned with tons of ammenities
