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.

Overall, I thought the value for money was ridiculous. With parking and taxes, we paid just under $1500 for 2 weekend nights. The hotel doesn’t even offer daily housekeeping service if you’re charging that type of money, you should be offering daily service for housekeeping we didn’t even get a change of towels and when we asked for towels, we didn’t get all of the towels requested because they didn’t have enough, which seems pretty ridiculous for a hotel. Eventually, we got the other towels requested, but it was after we had already showered. I only book this place because it was very hard to find something downtown. I would recommend if you’re staying in downtown Vancouver book ahead as fast as possible so you don’t get stuck overpaying for a place like this.

Great Location, Pleasant Staff

We stayed here for a total of three nights and enjoyed our first visit to Vancouver. The centralized location made it easy for our tour vans to pick us up and drop us off. Plus, there were a whole bunch of nice restaurants at walking distance from here.
Our room on the 17th floor was high enough to drown out the traffic sounds and get spectacular views of the sunsets behind the mountains right from our balcony. The room itself was a good sized one with a full kitchen with large refrigerator, a microwave, a dishwasher and a stove. Not that we cooked, but it was nice to have the space – one reason why we always book the Residence Inn brand whenever possible.
In today’s times, housekeeping is only on alternate days, but they did leave enough towels for the two of us for two days.
Breakfast was on a dedicated 2nd floor – we LOVED that. There was lots of room to move around without bumping into people, and they had plenty of tables in several rooms. The Staff kept everything moving seamlessly from cleaning the tables to replenishing food, coffee and juices.
Our stay here had no complaints, and we will have no hesitation in staying here again on our next trip to Canada

Functional and central
Jul 13, 2025travelindia09Bhubaneswar, India
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.
Bad attitude by Simon at from desk.
Jul 10, 2025845KRLondon, 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.
Excellent hot complimentary breakfast, good place to stay for a few night stay

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
