Good

My private room was adequate. shared bathroom and kitchen was clean and tidy. Location is superb as its right down town close to the waterfront, train station, skytrain, cruise ship terminal etc. I would stay again
For the price point of staying in downtown Vancouver, you're really just getting a bed to sleep in.
The staff are friendly and accommodating. The shared bathrooms are small. My mattress was so worn that the middle had a massive dent in it, and the building is always loud; bring earplugs with you! If you're looking for a very convenient, central location and a bed to sleep in for the cheap, this is the place.
The alley stinks and there were a mouse at the room. The personal is educated and collaborative.

This property is adjacent to a very noisy bar. The website is misleading because it suggests you can get a free SIM card, which is not true. Suggests that you can have one person per room, which is not true. I felt completely misled by the information on Expedia
Clean and comfy bed, we have private room so whole room was great for space though small as like any accommodation in an older style building. Service at front desk was friendly with each passing as well as check in and departure. Bathrooms well equipped & extremely clean and looked after.
