This is the perfect place to stay if you're planning to explore Vancouver. It's centrally located and reasonably priced, and the price includes breakfast and wifi. The rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. I just spent a week here, and it was the perfect place to crash between tourist/business activities. My room did not have a real "window"--my room was on the sixth floor, which I... more

Visited the Ramada for NYE with my friends. We were looking for a place that was near the water. This place is two blocks from the harbor and close to fun places to explore. It's located between an old bookstore and a great pub and across the street from a friendly breakfast joint.

The front desk staff was always exceptionally friendly. The hotel is older but is in great condition. The... more

Dissappointed

My first time in Canada, my host and we were held up for almost an hour before checking in..Manager was very rigid and unfriendly but later improved her attitude. Lobby was very dirty, chairs all old, worn and torn, bathroom door did not close. Room was too small, no fridge or microwave, no breakfast. Hallway floors very squeeky and loud. The place is overdue for an update.

good downtown location

friendly staff so enjoyed stay...great location for shopping, theatres and night life

便利なロケーション

ウォーターフロント駅からも近くスタッフの方たちもみんな丁寧でした。日本人女性の方もいるので英語に自信がない方でもなんとかなります。 部屋も毎日きれいに清掃してあり部屋の広さも十分でした。 ホテル周辺から西のほうへ少し歩くと飲食店やカフェもたくさんあり便利です。 またバンクーバーに行く機会があれば利用したいです。

West Pender Ramada

The hotel room with the king size bed was incredibly squishy and not much room to move around. I couldn't see out of any windows and I had to pay $31 for parking in addition to the cost of the room for the night. I was disappointed

Right downtown close to everything!

The hotel was in a convenient, downtown location. The rooms were clean and had all amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Decent hotel for the price.

The people at the front desk were really friendly and nice. The room was not great, but the price was cheap so that's to be expected. We were supposed to have had a queen size bed, but instead there were essentially two twin mattresses put together. It was an awkwardly wide, short bed. The water pressure in the shower was horrible, and the sink was really low. I only stayed one night, so these... more

Nice hotel

Had an event to go to at Rogers Arena and this hotel was only a 10 min walk. Perfect location. Super friendly and helpful staff and a decent complementary breakkie! Will definitely stay here again!

Ramada Hotel Vancouver

The Ramada Hotel is located in downtown Vancouver near theConvention Centre,I was attending a meeting and the location was perfect. They also offer a modest breakfast included in the hotel rate, which is also ok. I think it is a good quality/price relationship.

Good for the Price

Its great for the price and location, but definitely needs a bit of an update in the rooms. I would stay again though because the price is right.

Inexpensive Hotel close to Downtown

This is an older hotel. The room we were staying in was reasonbly sized with a king size bed. The room and bathroom was clean and appeared relatively recently renovated. This room had an individually controlled AC/heater and it seemed to work very well. I usually have issues with the temperature of hotel rooms but this was perfectly adjustable. They serve an acceptable breakfast and are located... more

立地は良い

駅やショッピング街に近いです。チェックアウトが12:00だったのも良い点。3泊したが部屋の匂いがやや気になった（エアコンではない感じ）。

Nice and comfortable hotel

Close to restaurants, and downtown area. Breakfast is included and lots of varieties. Staff are friendly and approachable. The only problem with this hotel is the parking. But they have a valet parking or you can park your own car to the closest parking buildings. The room is very comfortable, clean and quiet.

Excellent Downtown location

Thanks for a great stay. It was the perfect place to relax after a long flight and then explore Downtown Vancouver.

Well Located in the City

We came in off a late train and received a freindly welcome at 11pm. Very comfortable room, adequate breakfast included, and we left at 9am, rested and refreshed. Our rental car depot was a three minute walk away. Consequently we did not have time to really enjoy the Ramada but had a good rest and were well located for the next part of our journey.

Quiet hotel within walking distance of convention

Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast includes egg patties. yogurt, peanut butter in addition to many different breads and juice, milk, etc.

bathroom

The bathroom at the Ramada was dirty around the sink and there was something white on the floor,we went down and informed the front desk it didn't get cleaned up,I'm very disappointed in the hotel and lack of action.

Good location. We were disappointed the room didn't have a view as the room faced a brick wall.

Great value

This is the third time I used this hotel. The room rate and location in downtown suits me fine. Staff are very friendly and the room as nice and clean.

Good location to cruise port and gaslight district

Very small but clean room in downtown Vancouver. Easy walks to nearby attractions of gaslight district, cruise port and art museum. Breakfast buffet included. Near to bus stops for Granville island and free bus to Capillano suspension bridge park.

Decent room in the heart of the downtown

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. It is centrally located and the hotel building itself is old but the condition of the hotel was mostly clean and comfortable. The room was a bit small but it was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

It was a short walk from the cruise ship terminal to the hotel, and there's a bus stop directly across the street where we were able to catch a cheap bus for the short trip to the Amtrak terminal after we checked out. The hotel is really close to a lot of shops and restaurants in the Gastown area, but other than that, was about as far as possible from most of the other places we realized we... more

Bom hotel.

Muito bem localizado. Facil acesso para metro, e pontos turísticos a pé. Equipe atenciosa.

Near Gastown

Prior to arriving had email correspondence with management re adding additional person to room and was pleased that they were very helpful in resolving our issues. While the bulding is an older style (read as everything is a bit small) everything was adhequate for purpose. Complimentary breakfast was more than i expected with a good range of options. If i returned to Vancouver in the future... more

Great location

Hotel Staff was very nice.

Well placed hotel for exploring Vancouver.

First visit spent in a rather small room at the front of the hotel which meant a noisy night. The second visit was spent in a much larger and quieter room at the side of the hotel. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful.

Perfekt läge och bra service!

Detta hotell ligger perfekt till om man vill bo nära sevärdheterna i Vancouver. Otroligt hjälpsam personal också. Enda negativa var att det luktade lite unket i rummet, men vi har märkt att detta är väldigt vanligt, vet inte om det beror på heltäckningsmattorna? Vi hade bokat en till natt, men det var tyvärr fullbokat.

便利な立地

たまたま日本人スタッフがいてバスの乗り方、観光の効率良い回り方など親切に教えていただき助かりました。スタッフは親切でした。ただ朝食はあるだけましと思った方がいいかと思います。

Excellent location

Good responsive staff, room very good, little noisy from music next door, breakfast room gets busy

Ideal zum City-Trip

Direkt im Downtow, 100 m. vom Vancouver Lookout, 5 min. von Gastown und 10 min. Von Canada Place entfernt. Das Hotel ist etwas älter aber sehr sauber. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vallet Parking für ca. 30CAD pro Tag. Frühstück ist für canadische Verhältnisse sehr sehr gut.

場所が便利

たまたま日本人スタッフに出会えました。バスの乗り方、観光の効率良い回り方など親切に教えていただき助かりました。始めの1泊の部屋が狭く窮屈で困りました。あとの2泊は広めに変えてくれていました。夜到着てしたが、カナダライン1本で行けるので場所は良かったです。

Great location but bad neighborhood. Breakfast very basic. Room confortable but bad location in the hotel: room was close to the elevators which were really noisy. Great location, close to downtown and waterfront.

Great downtown location

The best part of our hotel stay was the location it was important for us to be near the Vancouver Convention Centre but we also walked to China Town, Gas Town, Robson St, Stanley Park. Lots of great resturants nearby and the complementary breakfast was a great bonus to get going early in the day. And being close to the VCC meant we could take the free shuttle from there to Grouse Mountain and... more

Great location close to Gas Town

Older hotel but well maintained. Great location close to downtown amenities.

Wonderful Stay!

My friend and I had a delightful time at this hotel! Though the rooms are smaller, because of the age of the building, that was understandable. The location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One man working at the front desk ran with us to another hotel just so we could get a cab in tome to make our bus home. We will be back next time we go to Vancouver.

Hôtel très bien situé pour visiter le centre ville à pied. Chambre sans vue avec des fenêtres opaques.Nous n'avons pas eu le frigo et le micro-ondes demandés (indiqués sur demande).

Don't stay in room 616!

Hotel and staff was fine as a whole. However, we were placed in room 616 - felt like a closet. There is technically a window, but it is completely frosted over so you can not see out of it at all, likely because it faces the wall of the adjacent building. We heard people screaming and fighting in the middle of the night, and in the late afternoon. A room with a regular window would have made a... more

It was really nice stay!

Everything was perfect from the moment my son and I arrived from San Francisco on our first not only Vancouver experience, in fact Canadian experience! Leo (I think that's his name) the front desk agent was really helpfull and professional an dso the rest of the staff. The only thing I might say it was on the negative side is there are no safety boxes in the rooms to place the our valuables but... more

handy to cruise line

no parking was a surprise. Room lovely, staff wonderful

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. It's pretty close to the restaurants and shopping areas. Our room was pretty small but we didn't mind.

Hotel Ramada Downtown

Hotel location good for walking to Waterfront, Gastownand and city and is on bus route. Free internet a bonus. Drawback was only continental brakfast available and room was VERY small.

Comfy bedding

Very comfortable bedding and the the employees were all outstanding with their helpfulness. The bathroom was very large but awkward towel and shelving locations.

Service above and beyond

Our stay was fantastic. Ivan and Julie bent over backwards to assist us in every way possible. They are truly outstanding at their jobs. We thanked them but I feel that is not enough, they were always smiling, happy to assist us with the many questions we had about the area, trips, buses, trains, planes etc that "Thank You" just doesn't seem to cover how great these people were to all of us... more

Great value, excellent staff.

My room was on the small side but given it was a Ramada Limited, was what I expected. The room was very clean, comfortable, and had everything you would expect to find in a room despite the size. I would and probably will stay there again if I am in Vancouver. The location was great, just blocks from historic Gastown and an easy walk to the water and downtown (business district). The bus line... more

close to facilities

the hotel had everything we required for the short stay

First time Vancouver

The reception staff were all excellent and incredibly helpful and attentive.Comfortable establishment.Will book again.

Historic buildings usually have small rooms and elevators. That's a given. We were jet lagged from flying West from DC Metro and were grateful to have a room to crash in right away! Everyone we met at this property were warm & friendly!

It was Canada Day and unseasonably HOT.....it took a while and a phone call but I discovered Remote Control Air Conditioning (?) in the room, got it cranking... more

Good location for tourists close to Gastown, Seabus, and on the edge of the business district.

Just a 5-minute walk to Pacific Centre Mall, though not much window shopping around the area.

and it can get a bit shady late at night.

Me personally, I wouldn't stay here; it's an older hotel, lobby feels cramped so imagine the rooms.

Can't honestly would recommend to friends/relatives coming... more

First time to Vancouver

Awesome location for gastown and the waterfront, close to the train station as well. The room was small but nice and clean, didn't need a big room as we wanted to spend our time out and about not in a room

Thank you to the staff (especially desk/manager Paul/Peter - forget his name!).

I told him I would write this positive review, great rates, even though I walked in off the street - great services, room clean & awesome location!

I highly recommend this hotel, staff are awesome, super helpful - they can refer you to anything you need!

Stay here before you consider any other chain hotel,... more

Great place to stay.

The outside is not much to look at. The inside is great. The room was small but who cares? The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Nice Continental Breakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Location was good. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

Good

nice staff always！！！the bed is a little small but nice location，it just take 5 minutes from this hotel to Pacific centre and skytrain

A decent experience

We stayed at the Ramada Limited for 3 nights for business as it was close to where our meetings were being held. As we had govn't rates, it was reasonable, even though valet parking was very expensive. Breakfast is so-so, but does the trick when you're in a rush. Our room was adequate - VERY small - but as we... more

Ramada saves the day

When planning a trip to Vancouver recently, I chose the Ramada. Excellent location and friendly staff.

Average rating but good value; would return

Good location, comfortable, well-furnished room, good value. Okay, tiny elevator, no view from room, etc., but you must expect some compromises for price. Courteous staff. I'd happily stay there again.

Good one

Stayed here for 4 days... Good location... 2 blocks from waterfront station which is the end of canada line train ( the one that goes directly to the airport)... Rooms are small but clean. Breakfast is not the best. The location is great..... more

High value hotel with friendly staff and a great location to walk downtown

I have stayed here many times and am always treated well by the staff. This is a value hotel, so there is no fridge in the room, but that's the only drawback from my perspective. You are right in downtown so you can walk to many restaraunts, stores, the ocean walk way in minutes. Wifi is included. If you don't... more

Good price but grungy area

Good price for Vancouver. Better than basic accommodations. Friendly & accommodating staff. The area is down at the heals; looks like the East Village circa 1975!

Lots to like

It's a good hq for visiting nuckleville. Close to gas town, restaurants and Chinatown. Breakfast was one step up from the carb only breakfasts at other locations. Biggest plus was the service from the staff. Switched rooms for us, replaced remote and always on point for entering and leaving hotel. Biggest negative: huge parking fee for valets $31/ day which... more

In a perfect location but not expensive

This hotel is pretty close to one of the train station, it's only about 5-10 min even with luggage.
Hotel has an old school look, I like the style, even it looks old but clean.
Staff are helpful, especially the Japanese receptionist, she was able to answer all my inquires about the place (this is my first time visiting Vancouver),... more

Good value

This is a good value downtown, just on the edge of the business area and very close to Gastown and the sea bus. Parking is free on the street from 10pm to 7 am.

A Heavenly Paradise

I decided to spend my birthday alone (Yes, I am a proud introvert!) in Vancouver this year and I am so thankful and happy that I did! I fell in love with Canada when I first visited Toronto a couple of years ago, and now I have another reason to continue coming back! The Ramada Limited in Downtown Vancouver is... more

Good location, enjoyed the free continental breakfast, very

Good location, enjoyed the free continental breakfast, very friendly staff. Room furnishing average, but served its purpose well.

Clean, comfy... ish

Stayed here due to the location near Gastown and excellent price. Room was small but the space was used well, so it didn't matter, and I just wanted a place to sleep. Staff were very friendly and my room was always SPARKLING clean.
The free wifi was FABULOUS and I could watch Netflix with no problems or delays. Sincerely the... more

Very comfortable

Very good location, very friendly staff, enough space and equipments. In total, it was a very comfortable stay and easy to perform my business.
Some may find the building and facilities old, and the toilet may get clogged on you, if you are unlucky like me. However, taking the price into consideration, I have no complaints whatsoever. The staff was... more

Had a great stay

Stayed for three nights, after staying here years ago.
The looks from the outside are deceiving and the surroundings of the hotel appear a little "seedy" like some areas of Vancouver do, but we never felt uneasy about this... The impression improves greatly when you enter and the inside has been renovated tastefully and functionally. Staff were very friendly and... more

This Hotel is very friendly and located two blocks from just about everywhere you need to go to or a short bus ride. Breakfast is included and the staff is VERY friendly and helpful.
If you need a place to stay try the Ramada downtown you will not be disappointed.

Unique Quality: Breakfast included
Very helpful staff

Solid value choice: affordable, clean and friendly in decent location

I spent four nights here on business in February 2014. The location is very convenient, if a little on the sketchy side. The rooms were not fancy, but nicer than I expected. The staff were very friendly, and the price was right! Overall, it was a big step up from some of the other "value" hotels we've stayed at in... more

Afordable, clean rooms, nice staff

I stayed here for one night at then of a four day trip to Vancouver. The staff were nice enough to give me a military discount which I appreciated. Theye were also very friendly and gave me excellent directions for tranist and local rastaurants. The hotel is close to many of the ammenities downtown but is in an area that... more

Friendly Staff, Clean Hotel, Close to Transport

Stayed here for a short weekend break. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. It's close (5min walk) to the SkyTrain Canada Line Waterfront station, Gastown, Chinatown, and more. Rooms were basic, but clean and well-maintained. Shower had excellent temperature and water pressure. Room heating was my only gripe (either too hot or too cold), but... more

Extremely small rooms, windows you cannot look out of. Small, slow elevator. Noisy, people talking in the hallway sound like they're in your room. No parking, just valet. The only plus is Yagers bar is downstairs and its a short walk to other restaurants.

Excellent stay

This hotel was in an excellent location and very reasonable. There was a nice breakfast, computer available, staff was most helpful. Our room was small but was fine for what we needed. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend

If you are looking for a cheap, lovely & well located hotel, then this is the place! It was my first time in Vancouver & for the cheap price, thought it'd be awful. I was pleasantly surprised, good size room,2 blocks/5 mins from the waterfront and Gastown, lovely free breakfast & nice staff. Would definitely stay here again!

Good central location with helpful staff

A group of us were in Vancouver for vacation and found a good deal for this Ramada. We were very pleased with the location and friendly staff at the hotel. Our rooms were a bit on the small size, but it was no problem, as we were there mostly just to sleep. The lemon water in the lobby was appreciated.... more

OK, but nothing to shout about

We booked into the Ramada for the first 2 nights of a 10 night stay based in and around Vancouver over Christmas. We were happy we hadn't booked to stay longer.
The hotel has a great location located between Gastown and the main downtown areas of Vancouver, and is typically 10mins walk from most of the places you'd want to... more

A single three week stay

Nice staff, nice location for travelers,nice place for shopping and local transportation. Sufficient yet routine breakfast, good for one night or two but far too terrible for longer stay.

Australian family of 7

Location is exceptional. Everything within walking distance as previously mentioned in other reviews. We are a large family (2 Adults and 5 children). We booked 2 rooms and were quietly suprised by our rooms. While not big by any means they were comfortable and suitable. We weren't planning on spending too much time in there anyway.
The reception staff were... more

A wonderful Stay

As it is with any holiday, its the people that can make or break the experience. The staff at the Ramada Limited were absolutely Wonderful.

A well-known hotel, good rates and a good location

We flew into Vancouver to take a sea cruise to Alaska (impressive and cold!!) and
stayed at the RAMADA DOWNTOWN. The area was clean and and felt safe. We went 1-day
early so we could explore the area.
The hotel was comfortable, the lady at the front desk was helpful, a card required for the elevator/room,and breakfast was included (nothing... more

Clean, Cheap and Easy

Location is just enough out of the way to keep this hotel cheap. Staff were nice and helpful, continental breakfast was a little rough.
Booked on Hotwire and was not disappointed... as I have been with many other Hotwire bookings.
Would stay again.

great location

Booked room because of Vancouver promotion, for my daughter and I to do some christmas shopping. We were pleasantly surprised by the view of the North shore and the comfort of beds, and the opening windows. The breakfast was decent for being complimentary.

great location and very friendly people!

Very friendly arrival and nice stay! The room has everything I.need.

Rooms are small (at least the standard ones), but have

Rooms are small (at least the standard ones), but have fairly nice decor, excellent bedding, and lovely slate floors in bathroom (which are cold in the winter - lay a towel down!). The best shower head I've seen for a long time! The window really really needs sheer curtains - so you can have the heavy curtains open without people... more

great breakfast

Complementary breakfast was excellent. Rooms were confortable, neat and clean, but a little small. Very nicely decorated and extrememly friendly helpful staff. Walking distance to port, but took a cab for $8.00. Not in the greatest neighborhood, but well worth the price. Would stay there again.

We always enjoy our time at the RAMADA. The friendly

We always enjoy our time at the RAMADA. The friendly greeting from your staff is really appreciated. When arriving early we were offered tea while we waited..

Great place to stay before your Alaskian cruise

Close to the port, not too bad at all. Close to restaraunts and shops, and you can explore gas town. The rooms are clean, a bit crammed but for the price not bad at all. The breakfast is complementary downstairs in its own little area, where you get your average buffet style food which wasnt bad at all. I would... more

Amazing location

This is a beautiful old building with very friendly and helpful staff. I did find the room a little small but it was nothing my husband and I couldn't handle. We had a queen size bed which, unfortunately, was not very comfortable. The pillows were amazing but the mattress itself felt very old and we kind of sunk in towards... more

Really made the right choice by going here

I originally booked myself in at the Westin Bayshore for 4 nights and while that hotel is great, the deal I found at the Ramada was half the price and included the breakfast.
Now, on price alone you could say this is a great swap but overall my stay was excellent.
We got to the hotel early at 12 pm... more

Historic place - great value

This hotel has now 100 years of history as a hotel - remarkable for Vancouver. The location in downtown is very convenient - two blocks away from the Skytrain station in one or from Gastown on the other direction, Chinatown or Canada Place are also only five minutes walk away. Our room was clean, nice and quiet (the latter coming... more

Old outdated hotel

The room was tiny, the bathroom was tiny. The building is old and outdated, and not located in the best area. We asked for a king sized bed and arrived to our room to find two double beds pushed together to make a bigger bed. There is barely enough space to walk around the bed in the room. I would... more

I was visiting for an event at the convention centre so it's nice that this place was walking distance from there. It was about a 10 minute walk.

This place is only getting 3 starts for the staff's excellent service. Everyone was courteous and friendly.

Other than that, this place would definitely not be my first choice to stay. The guy in charge of booking our rooms decided to cheap out and... more

Good, but could be great

Stayed for 2 nights in October 2013. 1 room 3 guests.
Good points first:
The staff here are great. I called before hand to ask for a 6th floor room and then again to ask for the possibility of an early check-in. Neither could be guaranteed but the person on the phone was personable, courteous, and very professional and promised... more

Good stay and good value

Vancouver is not the cheapest city to find a hotel. However, Ramada Limited Vancouver provided great value. It is in a fine location (but to be honest, is on a bit of a sketchy block with some abandoned buildings - a little gritty). Easy to walk around from the Ramada. Room was small, but well laid-out. Comfy beds, good bathroom.... more

Ramada West Pender Vancouver

Great property in a good location near Gastown, Chinatown and downtown. Very walkable area with no problems. Lots of good restaurants and bars very close.

Fantastic staff, good value for price

I have stayed at this hotel several times for business. The staff are very friendly, helpful, attentive and courteous. The decor is fine, the rooms are good and comfortable, especially for the price. The location might not be to everyone's taste, but it works well for me for work when I'm in Vancouver. The buffet breakfast is a bit limited... more

Convenient Location

We have stayed at The Ramada Limited Downtown before and found it great, this time we were leaving Vancouver on a Cruise so it was a perfect place to stay pre-cruise, we could walk from there to the Cruise Terminal in about 5 minutes, comfy bed, very nice complimentary breakfast, in the morning, would stay again . great Dinner next... more

Good location

We stayed one night at this Hotel. It was a great location to the Rogers Arena where we attended a NHL game. We could have walked we were so close but we opted for a cab which cost us $5.00. Clean, comfortable, excellent staff. Breakfast could have been improved on, not much selection. Would stay here again.

Ok hotel in a good location

Firstly the hotel is in a good location. We had a twin room with queen sized beds....so we were happy! The hotel was clean....mind you I would not dare to look under the bed etc....you know what they say....out of sight, out of mind! I'm sure if I start looking, a lot of the hotels won't meet the standards....which means... more

We booked with this Hotel the last time we were in

We booked with this Hotel the last time we were in Vancouver and liked it well enough to return! And will stay there anytime we are in Van.
Friendly, and efficient staff staff with economical rates!

Good location for downtown Vancouver

We stayed one night in October 2013. The location is good if you want to be in downtown Vancouver.
Our room was on the 6th floor which seems to have the better beds according to some other comments on this site. The bed was a double-bed and was comfortable. The room although small, was fine for one night and was... more

Good localisation

This hotel is quite old but very clean. Some furnitures are quite old but clean and fonctional. Avoid the rooms facing the street specialy during the weekend. Breakfast is good. Most of the customers are Indians, Chineese and Philippinos. Many youngs tourists stay here. The staff is very kind. Good value for the price. The situation is very good close... more

you have to improve the conditions of : rooms and breakfast

you have to improve the conditions of : rooms and breakfast room. I had to move to other room, because the first one was very dark and smelt to humidity. I turn off the air conditioner ( made a lot of noise at night and also the ice maker machine between 6pm- 11pm, so I could not have a good... more

The rooms are too small

We stayed here when we were in vancouver, It was located close to downtown and 2 blocks to Gastown, so the location was good. For the price we paid the rooms were very small and some rooms had no views of the city. the building is close to 100 years old, my room had a creaking floor. The rooms were... more

Ok hotel in Vancouver

This hotel is in a fantastic location - it is located next to a half way house and there are many homeless people and beggars. It was off putting to be asked for change as you are coming in and out of the hotel. We had an issue with our room leaking due to heavy rain and the staff were... more

Great location but expensive

The hotel is 2 blocks from the waterfront and sky train so easy to get to from the airport. There are plenty of place to eat nearby and a 5 minute walk to gastown. The rooms are clean but small, decor a little dated and the air on useless, lucky it wasn't hot when we were there. The worst thing... more

Convenient location downtown

We stayed here for four nights at the end of August. It is just a few minutes' walk from Waterfront Station which is on the direct Canada Line from Vancouver International Airport. We had asked for a room on the upper floors and were pleased to be allocated one at the back of the hotel on the top floor overlooking... more

Great visit

Desk staff were courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Great location. Bed were very comfortable. Though the room was on the small side it was quiet. We would definitely stay there again. The breakfast left a little to be desired and that room was too small for the job but is the only down side of staying there.

perfect hotel, great exercise distance away from all main locations

loved the hotel, beds were comfy, staff was pleasant and helpful, the hotel is a 15-20 minute walk from shopping areas on granville and 15 minutes away from waterfront, quiet and peaceful at night - definitely staying here again if ever in Vancouver BC - for the younger crowd (around 25) ask the bell guy where to go, he was nice and knew the area well

Gut Zufrieden

Städereis für 3 Nächte.Gute Lage von Hotel.Preis/Leistung Tiptop.

Short trip stau

The hotel was great, it was clean and the staff was great even though I didn't arrive until almost midnight from the train they had me checked in and settled in no time.

Good expensiveness hotel.

Good location for us easy access to every where you want , hotel look a little bit old but it clean and friend service.

As mentioned in previous reviews, overall a clean room, in a central location, friendly staff, and a few floor creaks here and here. Good Value overall.

An outstanding price. But no better atmosphere.

Their bath and toilet drain system are not working well.Bath does not drain water.Toilet cock of drain water was braked.But, I know this weekly hotel price is very very expensive in Vancouver. On this week, RAMADA price is very competitive.

good value in a good location

Good but some of the rooms have and inside spectrum so can be quite dark.

Great location

This hotel is located within walking distance to just about everything. I was a bit uncomfortable about some of the surrounding area, but overall, the location was great. The rooms were small, but clean. The staff was great--more than willing to help with anything!

weitersagen!!

Personal sehr freundlich.Hotel ruhig und vom Hafen aus betrachtet, eine sehr gute Lage, das Frühstück ist ausreichend.

Average hotel

The hotel was clean although it has some funky smell in hallways and rooms. Breakfast is ok. Location is not so good. Lots of homeless people around.

I stayed here last October and will be staying here again in a few weeks. It is an older Hotel that has super friendly staff and a great location. You can take the Sky-Train from YVR get off at the last stop and walk to the Hotel. The Room was small but nicely Furnished and well priced for Vancouver. I have stayed at several Hotels but Like this one since the Bus stop is right down the... more

Just an average hotel

I spent three nights in the hotel.PROS:-convenient location-staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful-room was clean. The furniture was simple and in good condition-the bathroom was in excelent condition-breakfast was fineCONS:-heat pump was a little bit noisy-little natural light in the roomIn summary, the hotel offers good value for the money but offers nothing out of the ordinary.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. do not expect to have a nice view from your room. free internet access.

Very convenient location near all amenities in downtown Vancouver albeit just at the fringe of one of the toughest part of town: in an old but renovated building, beautiful and very comfortable room , nice, clean and modern bathroom fixtures: a nice little 'JEWEL" in the rough. Would highly recommend if one does not mind the outside environment. good value for the money (free internet in the... more

Not the usual Ramada

The location was great! We were easily able to walk to Gastown and there were plenty of eating options nearby. But the room was dreadful! It was so small and dreary, painted a prison grey and without a single window, one felt absolutely claustrophobic. It was so tiny one could not even open the suitcase without blocking the path to the bathroom. For a single night in Vancouver while waiting to... more

This property was a good value for the money. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit small-ish, but the location is quite good. You are in easy walking distance to Gastown and Chinatown. Free continental breakfast was also included. I'd definitely stay there again.

Great location for the money.

Don't let the exterior of this Hotel fool you. The interior is quite classy and very tidy. I was very impressed with the exceptional service of the hotel staff. The were very hospitable and very attentive to needs and requests.

Well equipped rooms, excellent service, the free internet service worked well, the front desk area needs to be refreshed, but overall great value for money.

Great location, rooms clean, breakfast was filling so you could go on with your day..people nice and were helpful.

great Ramada Location

Great location to many sites in downtown Vancouver. Cute hotel. Not much to not like. Definitely recommend, especially to cruise people. Close to cruise terminal. Within walking distance to many sites.

Good value for money. Excellent staff - helpful and interested in costomers. Hotel is conveniently located close to cruise terminal Rooms are clean and well appointed. We had no bother accessing internet on their free machine and the complimentary breakfasts are superb - good choices and plenty of it. I would not hesitate to use this hotel again. We were unfortunte in having to move to... more

Ramada Limited Vancouver

Be warned about this hotel. The name Ramada suggests a standard layout. This is a boutique hotel. Separate beds, small, qaint rooms, kind of rough downtown location. Friendly staff and standard continental breakfast fare. The hotel is OK if you like it kinda funky.

Better than what you would expect of a 3 star hotel. Will visit again!

Ramada Limited, great location, nice stay

The hotel was cozy, and offbeat... just the way I like it when traveling. Very close to Harbour Center, Gastown (and the Vancouver Trolley), Canada Place convention Center, and Vancouver Station... to catch cruise ships, trains, or the Seabus ferry to North Vancouver. Breakfast was good with rotating hot items such as french toast, waffles, or pancakes to go with the eggs, cereal, juices. The... more

Wonderful experience

Good location. Nice staffs. We really enjoy stay in this hotel. Also the cold lemon water in the lobby is great.

No issues with hotel. Room was small, but comfortable. Had a tough time getting wifi in our room, but no big deal. Hotel was very close to Gastown (lots of fun bars and restaurants). Also close to bus and train stops and late night pizza windows. Breakfast was okay and included. Fine hotel if you looking for a place to sleep that is close to things and don't plan to hang out in the room... more

We had a gift certificate from a friend to use here, so our stay was free, and that may color the review.

Service was good. Our room was ready on time, and staff at the front desk was very helpful. Since we were unfamiliar with the place, we ended up parking at the public lot across the street on the corner, and the valet offered to go grab it for us from the lot to park it.

The room was a... more

Great weekend trip to Canada

My friends and I live in Seattle and wanted to go to Vancouver, BC for the weekend. We chose this hotel as it was in a different part of downtown than we've been before. It was a great location near the Gastown area. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The walls were a little thin, but the room was very comfortable. Due to the location and price, I think we'll be back!

This is somewhere between meh and ok. A huge part of that decision is the price tag. $200 plus $25 for parking is crazy for this place.

Downsides:
1. The room was the size of a thimble.
2. Parking is valet only. There is no lot and not even a real place to pull over and easily get your bags out without being in traffic.
3. We got the room right next to the ice machine and listened to it talk... more

Location, location

Fantastic location, close to everything, regenerated and fascinating gas town, Chinatown and harbour. Good breakfast and very helpful staff. So, value for money is good as Vancouver is pretty expensive.

Good location, small room

Best point about this hotel is its location. It is a short walk to Gastown, Chinatown, Canada Place, major shopping centres and the hop-on, hop-off sightseeing buses. Breakfast was included but the choices were limited. There is a guest laundry with one washing machine and one dryer which was a bonus. Staff were very friendly and gave good advice. The room however was small with small frosted... more

Good city stay

Location was convenient, walking distance to skytrain stations and other downtown places, esp to church which we greatly appreciate. Breakfast was adequate. An ok place to stay for a 2-3 day break.

great for the price

great location, within walking distance to the convention center. great price . the building is old and the elevator is tiny. and the room is cramp. not for family and kids but great for a single person on business trip. for the price, i am impress with the clean white sheet and comfort of the bed. I definitely will stay here again.

Ideal location for Convention Center

A very comfortable hotel at an affordable price. Just 8 minutes walk to the Convention Center and cruise ship embarkment. 4 minutes walk to the Skytrain. Breakfast included plus internet access and luggage storage. The room was spotlessly clean and tidy and the staff very helpful.

Nice Location and reasonable price

I spent 5 nights for a business trip in Vancouver, Canada. The hotel room was nice and clean, staff were polite, the price is better than other hotel in the area. The location of the hotel is walkable distance to the convention center, in a safe area and convenient to restaurants, shopping center, and train station etc public transportation stops. Continental breakfast was provided.

for the weekend

its was a good weekend Hotel.. not bad on the price, its walking distance close to almost everything.

Great choice for the busy traveller.

I really liked this hotel. Staff are great and rooms, while tiny, are adequate. Breakfast is included and will keep you going for a while.I was given early check in on request and was also given a room with a harbor view.The hotel was really well located- an easy walk to shops, Canada Place, Gastown. Make sure you go to La Tacqueria which is just around the corner- best tacos ever. Bangtown... more

Really good for the cost

I was very pleased with the hotel. At first look you might shy away from the location. But it is ok. Very close to bus transportation and good access to and from the train and bus terminal except very early in the morning but a short taxi ride. A little concerned at first by the description of roll in shower in the room but it is a fixed bathroom. Good continental breakfast, clean and... more

Conference

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Great location, good staff and terrific value. The rooms must have been recently renovated because they looked like new.

I booked this hotel after doing much research with plenty of hemming and hawing to myself. I was SO GLAD I decided to stay here. It was inexpensive in comparison to other hotels in the area, but it was definitely one of the best hotel stays I've had on vacation. It is close to any public transportation, it's right in downtown, and the staff is UNBELIEVABLE. They were very friendly and helpful;... more

Clean and roomy. Right in the heart of downtown. Only minor downside is the ridiculously outdated list of area attractions. They claim to be home city to the newest NBA team, the Vancouver Grizzlies lol

Vancouver Ramada

The location is awesome. Very good proximity to the English Harbor, Gastown, The Vancouver Convention Center, etc. Very walkable area. The rooms? Meh. Plain, nothing special, but nothing bad either. The continental breakfast is okay, it was included, so no complaints there! If you're looking to spend under $100 in a world-class city, this is a good choice!

Amazing location in Vancouver - walking distance to ferry, buses, trains, downtown - everywhere awesome in Vancouver. Trains can take you to the airport which is a huge plus, and trains are affordable as well, especially for the distance from Vancouver City to the Airport. Friendly staff and decent breakfast - well worth it. Rooms are quite small however, so you may struggle to move around... more

Stayed last Saturday night. The hotel, once you get out of the lobby, is pretty old and run down. The floors creak, etc. That in and of itself isn't a deal breaker. Front desk was extremely personable & helpful. The beds were clean and extremely comfy. The internet was free and top-quality. The TV's were flat screen. The bathrooms were perfectly clean.
However we stayed on the 1st floor on a... more

Great Location

The hotel is well located, in the heart of both theater and commercial areas. It is also close to the biggest mall of Vancouver. The staff is very attentive. Good place to stay if you are looking for a nice hotel and do not want spend too much money.

My stay here was awesome, and if I were to stay in a hotel in the area again or if someone was looking for recommendations, I would give them this place.

I stumbled upon this hotel accidentally. My sights were first set on the hostel down the block, but after taking one look inside, I decided I'd shell a few extra bucks to stay in better furnishings. I called the Ramada for rates because it... more

Wheelchair accessible travel

Perfect place for a manual wheelchair accessible stay and travel. Good location,good public transportation nearby.Few blocks from Waterfront station which can take you to airport and city suburbs.Bus stop infront of the Ramada hotel.Perfect sidewalks with curb cuts.Room rate is a bit high but clean with good breakfast and good location.Many streets are like a ramp or elevated.

Good price, decent room..,,,

I chose this hotel because of the price point. I was satisfied with the overall location and cleanliness of the hotel. It was easy enough to find once off of the Canada line and the staff was friendly. Would stay there again. Yagger's next door is a good place to have a drink and good food.

chambre

chambre tres petite nous voyagions a 4 et du coup nous étions tres à l etroit avec une fenetre donnant sur un murparking excessivement cher donc vaut mieux ne pas avoir de voituremise à part ca petit dej compris dans le prix et hotel bien situé

Convenient, but slightly dicey location

This hotel was located in downtown Vancouver, close to Gastown, Chinatown, ships, and tour buses. It was clean, with free WiFi and continental breakfast. Small room, nicely decorated. Air conditioner did not work very well, but otherwise everything was fine. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only real drawback was that the immediate neighborhood appeared somewhat seedy, with a lot of... more

Vancouver 4 day get away

The Vancouver Ramada Downtown Limited Hotel is a bit old and dated, but the rooms are modern and well furnished. Breakfast was included. Not a big buffet, but adequate. Hot items( pancakes, eggs, saussge), cereal, yogurt, juice, coffee, pastries and fruit. Breakfast room is very small and gets congested with all the guests.Hotel is easy walking distance to Canada Place (6-8 blocks) 2 blocks to... more

Nice place to stay, very close to the Convention Centre and Canada Place! Service was excellent and very friendly!

Excellent place to stay, with perfect location and friendly staff! Easy access from airport.

Downtown Vancouver location

Good location between the very cool clean Gastown and the funky shabby Chinatown. Harbor, restaurants, buses and trains all within walking. Taxis easy to order, quick to arrive. This is old Vancouver like old San Francisco surrounded by a huge suburban sprawl. Hotel adjacent to the a Strand-like (NYC) bookstore and near the continent's 1st Ming Dynasty style scholar's garden. Good breakfast,... more

“It was very charming and quaint.”

“This is a great hotel as a stepping point to any of the cruise lines.”

Cost effective place to stay in downtown

Attended a conference at the convention center. The location is convenient and within walking distance. Sky train station is very near to go to and from the airport. Breakfast was nice with hot items served. The staff is helpful.

Alles im Downtown zu Fuß zu er

Alles im Downtown zu Fuß zu erreichen.Hotel ok.

Nice, small hotel

This is a small but nice hotel at a good price. We got a small but nice room with a free breakfast. A good deal for the price. The staff were helpful in suggesting restaurants. The taxi to the cruise ship is a short ride or you can walk 4 or so blocks.

Comfortable, clean, and close to all

I attended a business conference and stayed a few extra days for fun. I was very pleased with my accomodations. It is not a 5-star hotel, but it doesn't profess to be one. It had everything I needed and included a nice breakfast every morning.

Older hotel, but great location.

Older hotel, but great location.

Great inexpensive option for downtown

Great hotel for the price. They had a pack 'n play for our 7 month old, which was nice. The free hot breakfast was very good every morning, pancakes and eggs. It is only 3 blocks to the waterfront and walkable distance to stanley park if you are up for a long walk, took us about 25 minutes to get there. The downsides include, valet parking which is expensive at $25 a night, and the rooms... more

Excellent location for a boutique

Excellent location for a boutique hotel close to the waterfront as well as 1 block from the best shopping mall, Pacific Center. The breakfast room is very simple, could do with a little brightening up but the complimentary continental breakfast is generous and varied with fresh fruits, pancakes and round omelletes. We requested a high floor and had good views of the harbour and the room was... more

“Very helpful staff. Continental breakfast was good, however same choices each of the three days we were there. Over all not a bad place for the price. Good location in downtown near gastown area and Chinatown.”

Good standard accommodation for

Good standard accommodation for this price, staff were outstanding, friendly and knowledgable

Unbeatable location for price

The location was perfect - walking distance to Gastown, Chinatown and all of downtown. We weren't looking for a hotel with all the bells and whistles - ie pools, restaurants etc so price was important and we were very happy with the result - very clean & quiet. The 'breakfast included' was basic but sufficient.

Beautiful, clean hotel

I LOVED this hotel. The building is historic and very beautiful. The rooms were absolutely spotless and very nicely decorated. The free breakfast was excellent and the staff with very friendly, with the exception of the guy on front desk. He was on the phone when I arrived to check in and I waited for 15 minutes for him to finish the conversation, even though there was a queue. He didn't... more

Perfect hockey weekend

The hotel was exactly what we needed for our weekend with the Canucks. The staff were super-friendly and very accommodating. They let us check in 3hours early without a hint of hesitation. Great stay.

Awfull smell

Awfull smell in corridors, room and in bathroom. Had to open windows and keep them open all the time.

My stay at this hotel was excellent. The room was clean albeit small. The staff where friendly and helpful. Breakfast was OK - nothing spectacular but acceptable. The location is also great. It is centrally located and is a short walk from Canada place, Chinatown, or the BC place. The price was unbeatable.

I consider this hotel a great value and would stay here again.

“Noise from the street , from the adjacent rooms. Dirty carpet , old furniture. Parking not included, add $28 more. Only good thing : friendly staff.”

“Cute, clean and small hotel.”

“ Rooms were a bit small but very clean. Helpful friendly staff. Generous continental breakfast. Very close to Gastown and shopping. ”

“Great staff, great room, nice continental breakfast! Had a wonderful stay!”

“ It was not the hotel I had initially booked online and was a little disappointed not to be staying in the Granville location. Also having to pay $25/night for valet parking was a bit of expense. ”

“ Very economical, clean, well located, very good value, I have stayed in maybe 12 hotels in the last three years and this was by far the best. Will stay here anytime I am in Vancouver. Free breakfast. In hotel laundry that the guests can use. ”

I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Vancouver. The location is great and it definitely doesn't have the price of a downtown hotel. Yes it is an older building but our room was very nice, obviously recently redone. Slate tiles in the bathroom, a great shower, nice linens, comfy bed... the room was on the small side but it was perfect for us. I'd much rather have a small,... more

This place was AWFUL. The room that they reserved for me (using Hotels.com=which I would NOT recommend using) was a nightmare! The flooring in the middle of the room was adjoined from another hotel so there was a pronounced ^ uneven seam (not a flat surface). Aside from that it had this disgusting mixture of smells that were so nauseating. There was an old fashioned swamp cooler hanging from... more

“This was a clean, safe, and good location hotel. The staff was exceptionally in their work. All were friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this hotel that were on a budget. The location was great if going on a cruise or walking to major points of interest.”

“For a moderately priced hotel, it was fine. Their valet parking service got our keys mixed up and brought us the wrong vehicle. Then they scratched our passenger mirror when parking our vehicle too close to the wall. They then charged us $5.00 more for parking.
”

Decent hotel in shabby in downtown Vancouver

The hotel is located on the fringe of the financial district and a shabby neighborhood. The street is lined with $1-a-pizza places. The rooms are decent for Canadian standards and clean, but has no view.

beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we were charged a additional $100.00 for "smoking" the problem is that WE DO NOT SMOKE!!!!! Please stay somewhere else . I tried to talk to the mangement but it did not work. We smelled smoke in the hotel from day 1, but never thought anything about it until the charge appeared on our credit card bill. Plus it is in a sleazy part of town.

bogus charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hotel was fair, very small rooms, but served the purpose. We only stayed one night. be very careful! the day we left a man appeared ouside the hotel and told my husband and I that we would be charged an additional $100.00 on our credit card, for "smoking" in the room. WE DONT SMOKE!!!!! we did not have time to argue, because our taxi was at the curb, and we heading to the cruise ship. I... more

The location is good if you are booked on a cruise. About 5 blocks from the pier. The rooms are very small. The breakfast was acceptable but the location in the basement is almost unbearable. The heat from the toasters/equipment make the temperature over 85F. They have a small portable air conditioner, but that is not enough. Also there are not enough tables to sit between 7:30a and... more

Yes i would recommend it. No view, just another wall. Good for value, since i wasn't staying in the hotel unless i was sleeping. It was what i paid for it.

The room was very small but clean. The staff were very polite and helpful. We had to take off before breakfast on our last day. We were given a sack breakfast to eat on the road. I would add a variety of fruit and yogurt to the breakfast menu.

“Close to things we wanted to do; small room, but sufficient for our needs; would like to see mirror in room, as only one is in enclosed bathroom. Difficult for two people to get ready at same time (especially two women!).”

“Good value for money, very helpful staff, excellent location.”

“The expensive valet surprised us(25$)and there was no where else to park. Additionally, they told us to get anything valuable out of the car because it wasn't a safe neighborhood. The free internet was nice and the room was okay. The staff was nice, too. Okay for a 1 star hotel.”

“The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the location was convenient for the night life in Downtown Vancouver. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, except for the parking situation. Valet parking should be recommended or included in the price to avoid other people having their cars vandalized while staying here.”

“This is a great hotel for the traveler intent on enjoying Vancouver's night life.”

“Other than the beds being very short (Im 6'3" and didn't fit on the bed at all) the place was exactly what I was looking for in the $100 range per night on a Saturday. The hotel staff was absolutely the best. Loaned us an umbrella, extremely friendly and helpful. Well versed in the area and easy to chat with.”

“Good hotel. The small rooms are manageable, but definitely cramped. The hotel can't do anything about the views given the location, but the lack of a window that you can see through left a little bit of a gloomy feel in the room day and night.”

“Would stay here again because it's a pleasant hotel with attractive furnishings and nice continental breakfast. But I do wish it were in better part of town--but then probably couldn't afford to stay.”

“During my stay in the hotel my own car parked by the hotel's valet parking was vandalized and valuables in the car were all stolen, which was really frustrating for me. However the hotel staff including the duty manager never said they were sorry for the incident happened in the hotel but just insisted they were not responsible at all. Further on second day's morning the fire alarm was ringing... more

“The outside of the hotel does not do justice for the interior. It was very nice looking & had a historical feeling to it. The staff was very wonderful and informative. We would definitely consider going back to enjoy another stay!”

“Totally not bad.”

“My wife and I stayed at the Ramada Limited Downtown Vancouver on Pender and loved it. The staff really set this hotel apart from every other budget hotel we've experienced. We visited during a very busy time (2 Canucks games, the Grey Cup, the Santa Parade and a district-wide water emergency) and the staff were as friendly and relaxed as if we'd stopped by for tea. The location is ideal for... more

Eased our stay

This place is a few short blocks from the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. It was close enough for my friend and I to walk over with our wheeled luggage to catch our cruise ship. The rooms are clean and not bad at all. Included a desk. The staff was very nice. There is a great Chinese restaurant just around the corner, and the hotel is conveniently located near major... more
