The English Bay Hotel offers genuine service and hospitality in an ideal location. The rooms have a 1970s kind of vibe, which can be remarkably refreshing in today’s fast-paced and pretentious world. Thank you, English Bay Hotel.

It's certainly an older, outdated hotel, but is our favorite to stay at in Vancouver -- you can't beat the price and location: what a great area! Rooms are always clean, you get a full kitchen, and a view of the beach!

The English Bay Hotel is located in a great location, a minute's walk from English Bay, close to lots of restaurants, and on two bus routes -- 6 Davie and 5 Downtown, which takes you right to the art gallery. Both connect with the Skytrain. The building appears to have been built in the 1950s and it is showing its age. Although the suites are fairly spacious, and include a kitchen, some of the amenities need an update -- the shower tap was very hard to control temperature, and there were not enough electrical outlets and those that existed often wouldn't hold the connection with appliances as the plugs were loose. There is a gated parking garage (extra $$) and on my trip in February, I had no trouble getting a space. Unfortunately, you have to climb a steep concrete stairway to get to the lobby, where you can catch a slow elevator. Given that many Vancouver hotels have risen in price exponentially, this was a slightly less expensive option. I recommend it for the location and for those trying to control their costs.

Great location

Very dated hotel. Taps were barely held on. Quite clean. Old carpet no renovations done. Kitchenette was very dated and only 1 burner worked on the oven. Happy to have a nice size fridge. Fairly well stocked. Nothing fancy. Was clean and beds were alright. Was nice they had a heater and fans. Great location!

Property location is great. You can see the water from the rooms. Convenient spot and has underground parking. Hotel staff were good. Unfortunately the property is very out dated and because of that, it feels dirty. To be clear the property was not dirty - it just felt that way. Prices in Vancouver were so expensive this weekend we didn’t have a choice and had to book this spot.

Interesting place, obviously very old and I guess you could say “dingy@“ but I saw no sketchy people or heard any crazy fights. My unit had a full kitchen, desk, satellite tv, everything a guy needs.
