The hotel

Living like a local is the ultimate way to experience any destination — and at Residence Inn Vancouver Downtown that’s just what you do. Your guestroom comes complete with its own kitchen or kitchenette, with a fridge, hob, and microwave to whip up simple holiday food. They’ll even bring the ingredients to you with their complimentary delivery service for groceries, or you could pop down to The Market for snacks. Of course, you’re on holiday, so you’ll need the odd night off — and this city pad’s downtown location makes that easy. You’ve got a world of dining choices a leisurely stroll away, from brew pubs and steakhouses to French and Malaysian restaurants. You can have mornings off too, with complimentary breakfast favourites at the Gatehouse buffet before you head out to explore, or to the hotel’s indoor pool to relax.

A hotel with a great location.... as functional as can be. Very central and close to various shopping and dinning options. Even though we came before check in time our room was ready and given without any fuss. Housekeeping is limited, and so is breakfast. Otherwise a great option to stay in Vancouver.

Jul 10, 2025 845KR London, United Kingdom

Simon at front desk is grumpy and should not be customer facing. His attitude is far from acceptable and seems not interested in being anyway customer focused. How can a hotel have such a bad reception staff. It makes every other experience at this hotel tainted by such poor and grumpy service.

Stayed 4 nights in April 2025. Hotel was clean, good location, and quiet. The complimentary breakfast was excellent! Hot coffee, iced coffee, an assortment of teas, juices, cereals. Each day had hot options aswell; always 1 breakfast meat, scrambled eggs, and a side like French toast or hash browns. Oatmeal station, waffle station, Greek yogurt parfaits, and fruit. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My husband used the gym, said it had enough for him to get by but there was young kids playing around in there which wasn’t ideal. We didn’t use the pool at all during our stay because there were so many kids we decided to avoid. Only cons I really had was 1. Lighting in the room wasn’t great ( minimal depending on what your needs are) 2. The complimentary wifi wasn’t great, laptop would freeze or loose connection periodically. I’ve been to Mexico resorts with better wifi connection Read less

In general, we found this hotel to be a very good location, with clean functional rooms, enough amenities, and pleasant staff. Overall: A good stay - we would go back. The Good Location is fairly central regardless of which direction you want to go - especially if you are willing to walk (and weather permitting). You are close to the dock at Hornby for the Aquabus to travel the inlet (say to Granville). You are about 15 minutes walk to Robson. You are close to the long and scenic seawall paths (either direction). The paths can take you to the beaches near English Bay and can continue on to Stanley Park. You are in walking distance to restaurants in Yaletown and even closer ones on Davie. We even walked to Chinatown and the areas in between. Rooms are clean, spacious and functional Breakfast is decent and variety changes slightly every day. Floors from 15 and above may have a balcony. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Nod to Cynthia at front desk and the breakfast staff. Other amenities like a small fitness room, a pool, business centre and guest laundry are available. Areas for Improvement Doors are thin with a gap underneath. We had quiet, considerate neighbours, but if you don’t, then you will hear noise. Just an observation, but there are more homeless than I recall from before. It’s every city’s issue but it was conspicuous this time Read less

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of nights over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. We booked a king on a high floor. We even had a balcony, with a table and chairs, So nice to be able to let in fresh air, if you want (though it was fairly cool out, so we didn't take advantage of that feature.) Staff were friendly, room was very clean, spacious, ac worked well, bathroom even had a working fan (a rarity in hotels, in my experience). Bed and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with many choices, from warm to cold - something for everyone - choices from scrambled eggs (and hard-boiled) to yogurt. Guests were friendly - a mixture of families with children and older people like us. Well-located, as well, about a mile south of Canada Place. An excellent bakery nearby! It is well-priced, similar or lower than nearby hotels that have much smaller rooms. While not lux like the Ritz, I'd give it 5 stars. Parking was not cheap but less expensive than a hotel I compared it with. We've stayed at this hotel before and will again. Read less
