During a business trip, my Wife and I were placed at your hotel for travel conveniences. Upon arrival with my Wife and her service dog, the gentleman operating the hotel front desk asked for a pet fee for the duration of our stay. The pet fee we were told was $200. Calmly, we provided proof of service certification and explained what an assistance dog is, just in case this was his first... more

A really nice affordable hotel in the heart of Robson street. It's a small 10 storey bldg with available underground parking which is great on some of those rainy days. All the rooms are suites with full kitchens and nicely outfitted. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about what's going on around Vancouver. Hanna, Veronica, Sam the manager, Carlos... more

The staff, Sam and Hana were absolutely wonderful. Including others I didn't get their names. The maid was so polite and nice. Wonderful stay. The room was spacious and also had a neat electric fireplace for added ambience and heat.

The location is absolutely fantastic on Robson Street - there is a fair amount of street noise but the bedroom air conditioners drown out the sound. Nice view of Vancouver from our window. This is a very spacious property and a perfect spot to call home when visiting Vancouver. Don't expect anything fancy but the rooms are clean, the beds... more

What they lack in cosmetics they make up in service. Very friendly and helpful staff. Helpful tip if u call them directly instead of using an online service U get 10% off and parking is half the price. My one complaint would be there's a lot of morning traffic and it can get a little noisy.

Really well located, really friendly service, the rooms are large with decent kitchens. This is our second time staying here in the last 30 days, as we had such an excellent stay the first time. Everything you could need is within walking distance.

We stayed in the one bedroom apartment for two nights before moving to the penthouse for a small upgrade fee. The hotel location is great and we had no complaints. The hotel has had some recent renovations as well as had some underway while we stayed. All in all, I would stay here again in the awesome penthouse suite, you... more

Nice place - close to shops and Stanley Park but THE stingiest wifi!!!

Dropped out twice as I wrote this.
I know I'm on holiday but I do need to check in back home, plus would be nice to google some places etc. I only use at night... more

Close location to our Vancouver office and the price for a kitchen unit was great. Not the fanciest hotel but well maintained and pleasant staff. Their extreme internet worked well for my needs including video conferencing and streaming.

We had stayed once before I went to this hotel to stay again.
The staff at the front was kind to us!
This hotel is really great value and reasonable price for each room!
If I should stay in vancouver again, definitely I'm gonna choose this hotel!

My partner and I came to Canada for a working holiday, so whilst staying here we had to search for permanent accommodation and a job. This hotel was in a prime position to do all of our searching from! Robson St is such a beautiful part of the city. The staff were always so courteous and nice, and most called... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riviera. Although an older building, with older building issues, the atmosphere and charm make up for anything like the lack of an extra outlet pale. Our penthouse suite was clean and the housekeepers were more than willing to help with anything required. Front Desk Staff are professional and friendly. Walking Robson Street, you... more

Great room for family of 5 for one night. Very centrally located. With this comes noise from the street late at night from people leaving night clubs. We were unlucky to have other guests on our floor returning home at 2 in the morning being very loud for hours.

I live out of town but was attending a concert during the weeknight so decided to book a cheap place to stay for the night (student budget). Not sure how weekend/high season prices are but for $59 the Riviera can't be beat. Got a queen bedroom apartment suite that came complete with a full kitchen, small dining area and living... more

Location was perfect for our 2 night stay. Our room on 10th floor was quiet with good views of Vancouver. Hotel is in need of updating but for the price you can't complain. Front desk staff were very helpful.

Hotel is in a great location in the west end near a Whole Foods, internet cafe, and many good and reasonably-priced restaurants. The two-queen-bed room was large and comfortable with good wifi and a kitchenette. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I was attending a conference at the waterfront and really enjoyed the 20 minute walk there by the water... more

If you need an inexpensive overnight place in Vancouver this is an option. Lots of space (600 sf) and a small kitchen. Small bedroom with double bed. Can be noisy on the south side facing Robson Street. Also, you can not control the central heat. Check-in was friendly however there are no amenities on site.

I was very impressed with the service provided. The location was handy to walk to grocery stores and a quick drive to English Bay Beach and Stanley Park. We paid less than $100 for a room with a kitchenette so it was excellent value. The only drawback was that although our room had been partially updated, it still needed some... more

Arrived at hotel and found staff to be friendly and efficient. We were allowed to check in early, which was appreciated. Room was large and clean. Kitchen was fully appointed with dishes . Location was close to Stanley Park, restaurants and shops and walking distance to downtown. Sky train to the airport was conveniently located as well. The main criticism... more

We stayed in a one bedroom unit. Room has a complete kitchen, spacious, and clean. It is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Close to stanley park, lots of restaurants, shops and public transportation.

All the staff working at the hotel were really friendly and nice also has a lot of nice korean restaurant right across the street (not far from the bus stop either) room is not modern designed but make tourists feel like home

This was a wonderful choice for our family for many reasons. The location is very central and within walking distance to many Vancouver attractions. The room was more like an apartment, with a well stocked kitchen (not food, of course), and very comfortable beds. The room had floor to ceiling windows and the view was amazing. The balcony was an... more

This is simply the best valued lodging in the entire West End of Vancouver. Over the past twenty years, this hotel has been my home away from home. I've spent a year in residence. The quality, service and value is consistently tops as is the location, parking and staffing. How can you go wrong with a suite that has a... more

What a great place to stay in vancouver. Close to the cbd and shopping on robson st. Staff fantastic and friendly as. Couldnt do enough for us. Stayed three weeks and had a great time.
Only suggestion would b to put a hand rail in shower area as bath a bit slippery other than that great size rooms and comfortable... more

Good value. Last.minute booking easy on the phone. Friendly. Cheap as a hostel. Clean and comfortable. Great location. I would go there again.if you just need a basic room downtown why pay more. The receptionist was helpful both at night and in the morning

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. It's actually a suite, with a full kitchen and great view of the north shore. The price couldn't be beat as the neighbourhood has tons of great restaurants and is only a short walk to Stanley Park. As long as you're okay with character vs. modern, this place can't be beat!

we stayed here for four nights and had a very pleasant experience. The location is great, on Robson just west of the trnedy shopping district and downtown. for the most part it was very quiet, other then the noise of downtown.
The room was well equiped with stainless steel appliances and all the dishes you'd need. The only issue is... more

I booked this hotel mainly because of its location. And I have to say that it was an excellent decision! The location right on Robson street gives you an opportunity to walk around in downtown, in a dock, it´s not far away from Stanley Park with Aquarium, seawall and beaches. It also has a very good public transport reach. A... more

Extended stay hotel in Vancouver's West End

Expedia's photos and description of this place are entirely accurate. My one bedroom with kitchenette had extraordinary views of water, mountains, and the nearby high-rise cityscape; I loved the views! You can watch the seaplane commuter flights glide in and out all day. The space itself was simple and functional, an excellent value for the money. The property is located within walking distance... more

Overall a good nights stay. Hotel is just finishing major renovations. Nicely updated , great location. If you're looking for a nice hotel at a great price this is a good one. Would recommend this hotel highly.It's in a great location in the heart of Robson. Great shopping, bars. restaurants,
and entertainment all around. Quick access to Stanley Park right... more

Expedia mixed up everything did not tell us that we needed a major credit card , and being faced with that at 5 pm the day we booked in was maddening and we thought we were out our money and a place to stay I was very destrot but the two lady's at the front desk handeld it amazingly and... more

Hotel conveniently located, room was not ready but we were able to leave bags in entrance/lobby. Would have felt better if bags were in a locked room or behind counter but all was ok when we checked in, bags were still there. Request for extra pillows was handled promptly as well as burnt out bulb on bedside table lamp. Complimentary... more

Great location with good view from balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful to recommend places to eat around the hotel. Comfortable stay although building is a little old and bathtub leaks. The room was clean and value for money.

Good location, useful kichenet, and the size of room is good. nice staff, Especially Veronika at front desk.

Average.

Came to town for grey cup. Overpriced for the condition of hotel, but all hotels overpriced during grey cup. Surprised to see ear plugs on night tables, then realized it was because the street is very noisy.

good location

Staff were very helpful.had to ask for coffee and milk,no soap.otherwise okay

Enjoyed my stay. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Room was nice, good views from 8th floor. Room was noisy, could hear all street noise, neighbours and Hall way. I would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Very accomdating staff! Carlos & Veronica at the front desk were awesome

Overall was good, nice hotel for cheap price. Lobby a little rough with bags everywhere but rooms are nice. I was upgraded to an apartment. However I would have personally preferred a normal room as I like to watch tv in bed!lol, however most people wouldn't be bothered. The male manager was rather pushy for me to give them a... more

This hotel is in a good location at a great value for money. Although it has been refurbished, the design remains very classic. The rooms are clean and large but not all appliances are working properly. There is no temperature control in the room for the heater although the staff reacted promptly and the water pressure for the shower is... more

It's not a new building. Get over it. There are chips on the formica counters. Other than that, it was a great location, great price, great staff. I'll go again, for sure.
I had a full bedroom, kitchen-dining area, and living room. There's a balcony overlooking Robson Street. Not much of a view to the water, but it's there.

I stayed here for four nights in November. The hotel is actually a converted apartment building, probably built in the 60s or 70s. So it really felt like staying in a one-bedroom apartment, complete with a stocked kitchen. The furniture was rather worn but comfortable enough, and the TV was big. The mattress was not very comfortable but the pillows... more

It is with a heavy heart that we decided to write a review on our experience with this hotel. The suite is clean and the view if facing the ocean is beautiful.... unfortunately whats to come next is unappealing to any traveler. The bed is old and very uncomfortable. The blowdryer was cracked and the pressure in the shower was... more

I was looking to book a queen bed room, not a suite, but for the very good midweek off-season price, I got a 1 bedroom, w full kitchen, living room, dining room, two windows looking out on Vancouver city views, and a lovely bedroom and bathroom. Lots of closet space, clearly this was once a condo building, and one in... more

Good value but noisy

Great service, nice room, good value. A bit noisy though. Able to hear everything in the hallway, neighbors and street noise. Would stay again for the value. Parking is a bit annoying downtown.

Downtown Robson

Great space with balcony. Room 602. Nice having a separate bedroom. Parking is expensive but the room price is decent.

Very comfortable and spaceous. Every thing is provided in the room. The hotel is located right in downtown, close to all the shopping areas and entertainment. Loved my stay here and would recommend it. Am definitely coming back here in the future

Perfect! I loved the suite with views, space and light. Great location, thanks Veronika, Hana and staff! Great to be so close to everything and Stanley Park as well. I will definitely be coming back and make better use of the kitchen, for sure! Thanks again!

My room was nice and big, with full kitchen and bath. Price was right. Location is perfect if you are interested in shopping or seeing Vancouver. Minutes away from Stanley park and the Vancouver Aquarium.
Cons: Could use a second TV in bedroom

The hotel is very spacious, and is close to granville street where all the clubs and bars are located. You also get a good view of downtown. Grocery stores are within a km of the hotel and there is alot of availability for buses and taxis to take to see the area

Lovely hotel, friendly staff

Lovely clean and spacious hotel...staff were very friendly and helpfulA....only con is our room was facing robson street which was extremely noisy as it's a busy road but we both slept ok

Centrally located to Stanley Park, Granville Island, Yale Town, Gas Town, the Expo area. Leave the car and walk everywhere. Lots of great restaurants close by. Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Only issue is they have an air conditioning unit in the window with a plastic window covering around it. Lots of city noise through... more

This hotel has friendly and helpful staff.The room was clean and quite large with a great view of the city,it was a bonus to have a kitchen with the room.
This place is affordable and in a great location on Robson st.

Friendly staff, great rate, close to half a dozen food market, and hundreds of food bars and small
bistros and cafe/restaurants. Our favorite was the "Spot" (I think 800 block Robson) across the street from Safeways store, and Star Bucks..
Our room was very nice size and clean. Much of the reason that we booked harbour view room was the... more

We were pleasantly surprised at check-in to find out that we had been upgraded to the penthouse. Very clean, but dated room. Nice fireplace but no thermostat so we had to keep the fireplace on to keep warm. Very clean kitchen. Great location.

I booked a room for 5 days and was pleasantly surprised with the value I received. My suite had a separate room, dining room area, and mini-kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator. Essentially a 1 bedroom apartment. It was clean and cozy. Internet speed is good for basic surfing but not fast enough for steady online gaming. Wasn't as sound proof... more

Stayed for 2 nights, loved the room and the building is situated in a very convenient location, close to everything.
Impressive room which, like was mentioned in another review, is very much like an apartment. Great value for money.
I would definitely use these guys again!

I rated this hotel as a 3 out of 5 mainly because nowadays multimedia is extremely important in many peoples lives. Whether it has to do with a direct link to the Internet,watching television, being able to use your laptop, use of a telephone etc. With continuous Internet interruptions and disconnections, including a constant weak signal, the inability to rent... more

great location !

I was in Vancouver for a conference. I picked this hotel for the location and I was not disspointed. walking distance to everything I wanted to walk to (although I didn't get to Stanley park it is definitely within walking distance). Great restaurants in the area ! Staff was super friendly. I showed up really early for check in and they said I was welcome to stay in the lobby and they gave me... more

Suite hotel in downtown Vancouver area

This stay with my wife, daughter and her husband and 2 & 4 year old children was very easy. The arrangement of the suite was unique as the two queen beds were offset so that the top half of each bed was not visible to the other bed. This allowed my wife and I to take the bed away from the full kitchen and so the kids could be kept away early in the morning. We had plenty of room for a full... more

nice hotel, close to downtown & amenities

5 day business trip to Vancouver, wanted moderately priced room, had harbour view (opposite street side so no traffic noise) away from elevator. Had kitchen, room was size of a modest one bedroom apartment.

On Robson and close to everything

Room could have been more up to date but overall it was a nice stay.

Nice hotel in the middle of downtown.

Aside from being able to hear every sound outside the window and a bathroom that could use a renovation, it was a nice place to stay. The staff seemed friendly, I didn't really have a moment to stop and chat with them. Overall, I would come back.

Great for our family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riviera. It is located close to many restaurants, easy access to transport, and walking distance to Stanley Park. The fully equipped kitchen was very useful to save money on meals. There was plenty of room for our family of five, even after pulling out the sofa bed and adding another single. Excellent views from the 9th floor looking out to the water and... more

Rooms were large and the full kitchen came in handy.

Disappointing

Vertical blinds that kept moving and did not keep the light out. A bed that needed a new mattress and extremely small room

Do not stay here !

Prices range from $75 - 199......regardless, not worth your money, inside the room, things have not been updated, shower head is too low if you are over 5'10, bed mattress is soft and old, in need of a renovation. Location is ok but that's it.

Riviera

Great hotel, perfect location, friendly and responsive staff, amazing view. We will stay here again.

My second stay

Location couldn't be better. Hotel staff the same staff that were their a year ago during my first stay so they must be treated well and are very professional and well dressed and helpful.

便利な周辺環境でおすすめ。駅からはちょっと遠いかな？

初めての利用で13階の部屋に滞在しました。専用のパティオが付いていて景色も良くリラックス出来ました。ホテルの周りにはコンビニ、スーパー、スタバ等が有りとても便利でした。ロブソンストリートに面しており周りの治安も問題なく、観光やナイトライフも満喫できたし10分も歩けばビーチも有り個人的には満足のホテルでした。スタッフには日本人の方も居られましたので何かと助けて頂けるんじゃないでしょうか。次回の滞在時にも利用しようと思っています。

In the heart of it all

The riviera is in an amazing location right in the heart of the Robson strip. Everything you could want from Vancouver is a short walk away. The staff were amazing, and super helpful. The room was not only clean, but stylishly decorated and cozy. The bedroom was a separate room, and a full kitchen in it's own alcove made the room feel like an comfy furnished apartment. The only downside to the... more

Expensive, paper-thin walls, aging, dingy, cramped hallways. The only plus is the rooms were very large. Would be acceptable at 1/4 or 1/5 the price. See the accompanying photos for the state of disrepair.

All I can say is thank God we got a 'last minute deal' on this room, because if we had paid the $380 they say the regular room rate is (family suite) I would be giving negative stars.

The hotel is clearly an old apartment building turned hotel. Think studio lofts, badly in need of a makeover. I'm not sure where the room is that is on the website, but I am attaching photos of our room, which... more

Yes this is not the Ritzs but that's ok..the room was renovated, clean, Queen size beds, sm kitchen, dining area, sitting area..very spacious for 2 queen beds in the room..this room faced Rodson St, liked location, not to busy, plenty of restaurants, and stores..reminds me of So Ho in NYC and most of all it was safe to walk around..10 minutes from cruise terminal by car..front desk was very... more

The location is great. I got my room (1 bed) for about $110 before tax, so it's a very decent price considering the location.

I have to say the room feels old. The kitchen is old, couch is old, any wood furniture (desk, coffee table, cabinets) feels old. The heat/AC looks dusty so I didn't bother turning it on. And then room, not to be racist, smells like Indians/curry objectively speaking.

The hotels facilities were what you would expect for the price range, however the night staff, Hana, was rude and unaccommodating to our requests. For this reason I would not recommend the hotel.

The kitchenette was great (fridge, range, cookware) and the room was
very spacious. It had a kitchen table and 2 arm chairs in addition to
the 2 beds and desk. Super close to Stanley Park and right smack in the
middle of downtown. Block and a half from Whole Foods. No need to drive,
you can easily walk everywhere you want to go. Night staff was very
friendly and helpful.

People in room 704 opposite our door who persisted in loud party noise until after 3am on Friday morning, even after one polite request from us to let us sleep and another request from the front desk at 1am after we called reception.

I was very impressed with the hotel. I was already sold on the fact that it came with a kitchen but yet a balcony on top of that with a beautiful view of downtown and the mountains just topped it off. I will be staying there my next trip.
\n\n
Found the wifi really slow.

Family room with little kitchen was a good size. Liked the free wifi.
\n\n
Very small and dumpy looking lobby area, didn't give a good first impression. Elevator very old and slow. Overall facelift in the rooms would benefit the hotel and allow for a perceived better value per stay.

Skvělý hotel v úplném centru města se super vyhlídkou.

Locstie is super, op loop afstand van het centrum van Vancouver. Ook het strand ligt op acceptabele loopafstand, waardoor je alles te voet kunt verkennen. Dat is zeker een meerwaarde omdat het verkeer in dit deel van de stad regelmatig stil staat.

Meget tæt på både Stanley Park og shopping - god plads
\n\n
Lidt slidt - noget gadestøj

The location was amazing. The room (King penthouse) is great with a full kitchen and a really nice patio/terrace with sweet views of mountains, ocean and the city.

Location - walking distance to waterfront in Vancouver without hills. Separate bedroom. Free WiFi, free parking (but I had to insist on it as I had booked in the Spring, not the summer)
\n\n
Not well maintained - bathroom door required that one 'lift it" into position to close, no A/C in living room where second person slept, no ice, no exercise facilities, very lumpy sofa mattress.

The price was great for the location, which is very central to shopping and English Bay. The room was nicely appointed with some modern fixtures and what appeared to be recent renovations. The room had tons of windows which made the view great and the room bright. This also made it warm but when we opened the patio door the cool air of the nearby ocean can right in and gave us some relief.

Super Lage, sehr gut ausgestattet,

Booked a king room but was given a twin queen on arrival. The room was very large and lovely comfortable bed. Huge windows all around and a balcony. Sliding door meant fresh air could be let in! Free Wi-fi & breakfast could be bought at the on site restaurant which was reasonably priced, the granola was delicious. Good location with public transport outside the hotel. Friendly staff.

Outside noise at night! Bed was way too hard, it gave me a horrible back
ache. Bedding/ Sheets could be better Pillows not good If they would

Needs a serious makeover to bring to 21st century

I liked the kitchen
\n\n
The noise, lots of noise, couldn't sleep. to much noise. for the price I paid I thought it would be sound proof.

Place used to be a total dump but is under new management and they're working on the place. Wifi is slow but parking was free and not a problem. Very spacious suites with full kitchen, living room and big lcd tv. and very good location close to Stanley Park as well as the gaybourhood. Whole Foods and lots of restaurants nearby as well as a BC Liqour down the street.

Ok, first off, this is a five star "value" rating not a five star hotel. In other words: Five star hotels have pools etc. this does not. But for the price, it's very good.

Bottom line: Unless price is no object or you HAVE to go dirt cheap, this is the best value in central Vancouver.

If you plan to do a lot of shopping on Robson or want to stay in a safe part of town I would recommend this place. I like that you get to stay in a suite with awesome views of the mountains and city. It was nice to just chill on the balcony at night. The only thing that I don't like is that there is no heating or air conditioning. The free parking was great, I can go in and out as a I please.... more

The Riviera was great and it's in a really nice part of town. The spotty and sluggish wifi is my only complaint. Totally recommend staying here.

Almost forgot- if you're on the 7th floor or higher and on the north side of the building, be sure to look for, what appears to be, a discarded vibrator on the rooftop of the building next door;)

Now this place isn't getting 4 stars for accomodations, class or amenities, but we have stayed at the Riviera MANY times and I personally love it. It's like our little home away from home. Like the previous review, there is definitely nothing fancy or upscale about this place. It's a dated hotel, there are some stains, the furniture is a little worn (although they did some decent upgrades the... more

Stayed During 2010 Winter Olympics

Me and my husband stayed during the olympics. We immediantly loved the room, felt like a small apartment. And the location was great. The only couple of problems I had was with the water temperation in the shower. It would never get hot, stood warm for a few minutes then quickly turned cold. The second problem I had was getting a wi-fi connection. Since we were on the tenth floor, the signal... more

Great front desk service

We stayed at the Riviera during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. Even with the hotel at full capacity, the front desk personnel was friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to many Robson restaurants and events.The rooms and hotel is older but comfortable and we had a great view of the water. I will be booking another stay there and saving my money over the pricier hotels.
