Latest Vancouver hotel reviews
Pro
Clean, great scenery, lots to do, friendly and helpful people
Con
Can be expensive, the traffic, and a little crowded.
In a nutshell
A cosmopolitan city located in a beautiful geographical setting, blending Asian and European influences, unique to both Canada and the world.
194 Reviews If you are driving through the park you will most likely drive by Prospect Point, which is a little bit higher up in the park. From up here you have a great view over the Lions Gate Bridge, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and the ocean. There are also displays about the big wind storm that pounded...
77 Reviews Grouse Mountain is a great place to visit when you are in Vancouver. You can go for a visit of a couple of hours, but you can easily spent a whole day up here. If you visit in the summer there are many activities that are complimentary with your ticket on the "SkyRide". The ticket may seems a bit...
5 Reviews and 649 Opinions A contemporary hotel located in the very cosmopolitan Yaletown. Top-notch service from a very...
5 Reviews and 552 Opinions we were really looking forward to our stay in Vancouver - we do this every Christmas season. my...
Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
20 Reviews Don't go during the daylight hours, as you will see just how dirty this place is. Food on the floor, and dust/dirt everywhere. The lineup outside is steady so they do not have to put any effort into cleaning. Go to West Broadway for Greek food, or to Branas at Leg In Boot Square. The food is cheap,...
14 Reviews Commodore is a fabulous place to see a band play, and they usually have some amazing acts that come through there. It isn't open nightly, but they have acts through there so regularly, that it is open a good chunk of the week. Acts such as Weezer, Ben Harper, Tom Waits, Moby, I Mother Earth, and...
9 Reviews I was a frequent flyer at the Blarney Stone (I guess if you call 5 times in a year frequent...so not so frequent). It was a great place for people that just want to go out and have mindless fun with a pint in your hand. The only beef I have with this place is the "security" staff, who are very...
26 Reviews In my opinion, one of the best things to have come out of the 2010 Winter Olympics is the skytrain Canada Line that now connects Vancouver airport to the downtown area. Tickets cost $8.75, or $7.50 if you happen to be traveling on the weekend or after 6:30 pm on weekdays. However, to get back to the...
Vancouver International Airport
23 Reviews This is the international arrivals and departures level of the Vancouver airport has been recently renovated with this first nations artwork as the centrepiece. There has been a $10 per ticket 'airport improvement fee' to cover these renovations. Guess what? They have decided to continue collecting...
18 Reviews While I am generally not an advocate of chain stores, and most especially MEGA chainstores, I mention the Virgin Megastore in Vancouver because of it's cool and eclectic selection of books. While they did not have as many books as a bookstore might the ones they did have were great, ranging in...
7 Reviews Metrotown - 500 Places to Shop & Play - BC's Largest Shopping and Entertainment Complex. The latest fashions plus 17 movie theatres, 3 game centres and over 92 eateries. Shop at Metrotown Centre, Metropolis at Metrotown & Station Square.
5 Reviews A clever new nickname for Vancouver that I just heard recently. Let me dispel the rumours somewhat. Yes the laws towards marijuana are somewhat less strict here (and everyelse in Canada) than other parts of the world but I don't like it is quite Amsterdam, West. While most people know a guy who...
65 Reviews I've been reading some of the entries here on this website as I'm preparing a speech on this topic. Vancouver is the most expensive city in Canada to live in and yes, the cost of living is high especially since the government drags it's feet to increase the minimum wage. But in all the times...
37 Reviews Hi folks. I live in this area. I'm not a bum or a drug addict but rent prices are very high and even though I work full time at a decent paying job it's still hard so I am in this area for the time being. To all those who say it's not as bad as it seems it's not...It's WORSE! It's a cesspool. a...
19 Reviews Gastown is Vancouver's historic district as it was here where the city was first built out of the wilderness in the 1880's and 1890's. Water Street was one of the first streets to be built in Vancouver, and it runs parallel to the railroad tracks which sit on the industrial waterfront. Unlike...
13 Reviews Although the bridge is not really a tourist trap, it can be very overcrowded during the high season plus if you are on a budget, its $23 entrance fee for the bridge and park is a bit steep. An alternative is to go to the Lynn Valley suspension bridge which is some 160 feet above Lynn creek and is...
31 Reviews I walked out of the airport terminal and into a light rain. As we got downtown the rain was getting heavier, but the locals weren't even hurrying to get out of it. Most of them hadn't even broken out an umbrella. And so it went, the there was rain the three days I was in Vancouver, there were...
11 Reviews Porteau Cove Provincial Park is situated on the most southerly fjord in North America just 38 km north of Vancouver, and features waterfront campsites with a view over Howe Sound to the mountains beyond. Porteau Cove Provincial Park provides an incredible setting, especially if the weather is in...
8 Reviews One of my favorite beaches in the world because the sub-culture and community that it embraces and its location in the heart of Vancouver, British Columbia. For the years that I lived in the area it was my weekend spot during the warm months and even in the fall/winter evenings a remote spot where...
10 Reviews Vancouver has 3 'local mountains'. (approx travel time from downtown 30 min) Cypress Mountain is the biggest of the locals and has a tonne of great terrain. One powder day in the trees at Cypress and you will be hooked for life. Grouse Mountain is known for its spectacular views of the city. Its...
63 Reviews I was very disappointed that we ran out of time to take the Horse Drawn tour of Stanley park. The cost of this tour was included in our Vancouver card, which we had purchased for sightseeing in Vancouver. We saw it, and passed it in Stanley park, what a great way to get around and to see the sites,...
21 Reviews Need a rest from museums and sundry sightseeing? Then pop down to Robson Square on Sunday Afternoon at 3pm for the Salsa classes, beginners from 3pm and Latin Dance from 5 pm. We came across it by accident and took a half hour to obseve the action, many styles , all shapes and some real talent!!!...
