Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 20th August 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Staff were incredibly helpful and nice at all hours.Rooms were great with lovely views.the perfect stay!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 24th July 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: YWCA is indeed a hotel, rather than a hostel, so expect to have your beds done during the day but do not expect the typical 'hip' hostel feeling. Extremely clean and quiet, with nicely equipped kitchen and great location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 19th June 2008 Mixed Group 41+ 4/5 Comments: We were an adult family group staying in a smallish but adequate 3 bed room with TV, vanity unit and fridge. Excellently furnished (like a good hotel) and serviced each day. Only 1 toilet and 2 showers on our floor but we found they were always vacant when we wanted to use them. Good kitchen and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 12th July 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: We made the reservation via hostels.com. The confirmation stated that we would only had to pay 81 CAD at our arrival. However, we were charged 91 CAD plus taxes without further explanation. We showed the printed copy of the reservation we had made through the web page, but that didn't make a difference. The price was higher, take it or leave it. We took it anyway.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 7th July 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Great!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 11th June 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Good place to stay, very clean, if somewhat sterile. Had a problem with the reception not recognising the trav booking, but that could have been because we booked late. The WIFI should be free, and I have never before heard of hiring cooking utensils for the kitchen!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 28th May 2008 Female 41+ 4/5 Comments: Definately the best hostel I have stayed in - so clean. The only negative would be that a seperate toilet would be wonderful. Would certainly recommend it to others. I moved to a hotel for the start of a tour and it didnt come close to the YWCA. Thanks for a great stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 3rd February 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: I found this hotel to be fantastic! I read a lot of reviews for different hotels in Vancouver and found this to be the best for what i was looking for. The rate for the twin room was one of the best i found for Vancouver, the room was clean and secure and the location was great (10 minutes walk from the shopping on Robson and Granville Streets and some good food places). The only note i would make is in regards to the information (listed on this site under map and directions) for a bus from the airport. At the airport i was informed the the Charter Bus Lines bus service route has changed and no longer stops at Georgian Court hotel, the closest stop is 8 blocks from the hotel - is this correct? I realise this is not the fault of the hotel, however if this information is accurate, it might be great if it can be updated accordingly in Map and Directions. Thanks for a great stay - I would definatly recommend this hotel and stay again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 7th February 2008 Couple 31-40 4/5 Comments: Great Service & we got an free upgrade!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 13th January 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 4/5 Comments: Probably the best value property in our round the world trip. Rooms are cheap but modern, clean with tv and comfortable beds. Easy walk to the main attractions in Vancouver and the staff were really friendly.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 7th December 2007 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: A good value for the location. Check-in was pretty late (2 p.m.), but other than that, a nice quality hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 30th October 2007 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: Friendly staff, great downtown location, very clean and great value for money. Great place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 25th September 2007 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: It bills itself as a "hotel/residence" rather than a hostel - mostly young people studying English and older travelers. Quiet, centrally located downtown.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 23rd September 2007 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: this hostel was more like a hotel so it was fab!! v clean and the staff v helpful. It is a little quieter and maybe lacking character because it is a hotel......but if you are looking for a safe, clean and quiet place to stay...this one is for you!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 9th September 2007 Female 41+ 3/5 Comments: I was very pleased and surprised to find this hotel to be as good as it was for the price. I only need a clean, secure place in a decent location, but the staff was very helpful and the room better than I expected. I'd definitely go back.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 26th August 2007 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: A large, clean hostel which is more like a motel in style, characterless but in good condition and not a bad price for Vancouver. It's not in the best part of town though and unfortunately our memory of the YWCA was ruined by some terrible advice from front desk which sent us to to the wrong ferry terminal, resulting in a 2 hour bus ride at the other end to get us to where we wanted to be!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 2nd September 2007 Mixed Group 41+ 4/5 Comments: It's nice to be able to take a family to a city and be able to afford it and stay in a decent place. Thank you for offering the city of Vancouver a family spot.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd September 2007 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: A good, inexpensive, and safe place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 23rd August 2007 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: A great place to stay. Clean rooms and your property is safe. Great value for money and a good cause.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating India 29th July 2007 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: The YWCA was an excellent place to stay during my vacation in Vancouver. The hotel though not very centrally located, was atleast situated in Downtown and a hop away from Robson street -- and thats what matters. Almost all tour buses and transportation have a stop right in front of the hotel. The staff were very polite, and helpful. The place was very clean (I had a semi-private room) and had access cards. If there was one thing I was concerned about, it was the luggage storage room. While it was locked and the key was with the front desk, one could still take your bags along with theirs and obviously the hostel would not be responsible. Some basic checks by the front desk here might be worthy... Otherwise, this is an excellent place, and I would recommed you look no further if you want to stay in Vancouver... happy travels...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 24th July 2007 Couple 41+ 4/5 Comments: Good stay. Wouldn't like to stay too long in room 611 as the exhaust fumes next door are offputting. Otherwise fine.
