Location was great, although the neighborhood around could be a bit sketchy. A little confusing, checking in the first time without any front desk, but it all worked out fine. Definitely an in-city gem; would stay there again in a minute!

It's a heritage property converted into boutique hotel rooms right in the heart of Gastown. The neighbourhood can be a bit colorful but we found it to be amazing. The rooms are perfect for an overnight getaway and the hotel is very close to the Helicopter terminal to Victoria as well the float plane terminal. 100% will stay again.

Loved the location! The hotel is in the heart of Gastown and within walking distance of many of Vancouver’s top tourist attractions, as well as great restaurants and cafés. Check-in and check-out were quick and seamless, and the digital key system made everything very convenient. The amenities were modern, complete, and well-maintained. I especially loved the interior—it perfectly blends modern design with the building’s historic charm. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Clean room - responsive staff available on phone. Parking was convenient. The shower handle did break off and we couldn’t get the pull out bed to go back in. But outside of those minor things, the stay was great!
