I chose to stay at the gage apartments while viewing UBC in an effort to let my daughter know a little about living in Res while at university. Honestly it is a residential room normally used by students, and for what I was looking for it was perfect. Our rate was taxes in 178 per night, excessive by any standards... More

The bed and breakfast summer visitor price is a great deal considering the cost of accommodation in Vancouver, but you'll feel sorry for the students who have to stay here all school year long when you see the spartan prison-like rooms with their tatty worn furniture. Wifi access is in the lobby only: this is clearly a very backwards university.... More

We went to visit the university when our son was looking for colleges and unexpectantly found we could stay on dorms. Our original room choice ended up being booked by a group but we stayed in one of the multi-room dorm suites and loved it. All of the rooms were clean and well maintained, the staff was very helpful and... More

I should start by saying my three nights in Gage Tower apartments in August were not the warmest I've ever experienced. Camping in the desert near Moab Utah in July was hotter. However, these are the warmest nights I've ever experienced in a $100+ hotel. Sleeping under the stars in the Utah desert was cheapet (ie free) and more pleasant... More

Those who are coming to the Gage Towers should know there are some areas where you will need to bring your own cooking supplies (pots, pans, dish soap, utensils etc). However the bed is made up for you daily, the residence is largely clean and it is an excellent price for what you receive. An added bonus is you can... More

Stayed in Vancouver for three nights, originally going to spend a night at the Pacific Spirit Hostel (also on campus). Ended up upgrading to Gage Apartments for a studio suite as the walls for the dorms at Pacific Spirit were paper thin and the mens bathroom was on a floor above or below me. if I had to do it...

I stayed in the Gage apartments for a few days to attend a meeting at UBC. The room got very warm at times because the ceiling fan was ineffective and I didn't want to leave the window open in a ground floor apartment. The shower was a plastic all-in-one insert but was powerful enough. Housekeeping came daily but didn't seem... More

I stayed at the Gage Tower for two nights in mid-December, 2010. They turned the heat to around 35 degrees but there was no air conditioning at all! You could literally suffocate if you don't open your window at night (which turned out it was also raining outside, the room became damp and hot). Ever since it's not even a... More

Stayed 2 nights during the Anime Evolution 2010. First night we were on a ground level 2 bedroom suite...a stones throw from all the action but didn't hear peep all night. Rooms were clean, nice, comfortable. Housekeeping knocked around 10 am but we weren't ready to leave yet. Being ground level during summer it was nice to find the room... More
