A group of online friends from CruiseCritic.com decided to take an Alaska cruise together, and it left from Vancouver. One of our members travels to Vancouver on business, and took it upon himself to check out and query a few Vancouver hotels to find a good hotel with a decent group rate for us. He landed on the BW Downtown... more

This is an excellent hotel. Beds comfy, rooms clean and attractive, staff sharp and helpful. WiFi hooked right up and there was no additional charge. I'll stay there again any time. more

I got the prevailing deal (Expedia in my case). As previously stated here, the hotel is fine, with clean rooms of reasonable size and a good standard of cleanliness. I aimed "cheap" because I was travelling solo, but I would be perfectly happy to bring my family here. The thing which made me decide to write this review was the... more

Not much more to add to the already positive reviews. Good price. Walking distance to good restaurants. Convenient location to go to UBC. There was road construction occuring which wasn't a pretty sight but it did not interefere accessing the hotel nor did it cause a noisy environment.

If you don't want to walk they have a free shuttle (I didn't need it). They have free wi-fi but it's slow. The parking in the basement is... more

The Best Western Downtown is a great casual stay for the money. We have booked here a few times and always had a clean, well appointed room with no hassles. I would recommend this hotel if you want a no-frills, clean & stress-free stay. Location is relatively central as well. more

I stayed at the Best Western Downtown Vancouver for a couple of nights in May 08, and was very impressed. The hotel is modern, comfortable, and clean. The hotel staff were helpful and welcoming. It's in a good downtown location at a reasonable price. While there's not much directly around the hotel, it's a short walk to Robson St, and... more
