Our family loved this hotel. It's in a great location, just one block from the west end Saturday market, too! Beautiful restaurant inside, which also serves a breakfast buffet. The staff was very friendly and helpful, giving us directions, delivering a roll away bed...room service was very quick (and quality food)! The only downside would be the condition of the basement, amenities areas. It's obviously a work in progress right now. It was an odd mix of updated, and wildly outdated and lacking maintenance. Also sad their spa is currently closed, as I planned to visit it. Overall, a great value, wonderful staff, convenient location and clean, well appointed rooms. read more

I thought this was a decent hotel. I do recommend it if you are on a budget, but it ain't a 5 star hotel lol. Great staff, great location, just very out dated compared to what they advertise on the website. They have a 24 hr gym. Pretty clean, they provided towels, water and music. It was empty when i went and a little creepy bc its located what seemed like the basement. But decent and had plenty of machines. The room was nice, we had the 2 queen beds. Spacious, and they provided water bottles and coffee/espresso machine in the room. The only thing I didn't like was that it was very outdated and you can hear pretty much anyone in the hallway or the next room over. When I looked at their website it looked so modern and new but that was not what it looked like in person. The staff was very kind, especially the housekeeping. She was so kind to us. read more

Century Plaza - View from my hotel room - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Spent three nights at the Century Plaza. Stayed in the corner suite which has a kitchen, living room and a bedroom down the hall. Hotel was centrally located. If you do not have them clean your room; they will give you a $10 credit to use at the coffee shop in the lobby. The employees were friendly. Overall, a great value. read more

The Century Plaza hotel is a great value for the area and we were very pleased with our room and service. We were given a free upgrade to a large corner suite with amazing views from four large windows. There was even a small balcony to walk out on. There was a comfortable king sized bed with four large pillows. Huge seating area with a couch, chair, desk and kitchenette type area (microwave, fridge, coffee pot). Everything was clean, carpet looks new, and the vanity in the bathroom looked updated. The shower and tub were fine - nothing special. Service as soon as we got here was great, even at the restaurant although our waiter was extremely busy. See restaurant review for more. This hotel is very convenient to the hustle and bustle, restaurants, and cruise port. Within walking distance to all the food you could need! It is also right next door to a hospital. We heard a lot of ambulances during our stay, but with a sound app on our phone, we slept well at night. There is also construction during the day at nearby buildings. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a good value close to all the action. read more

The hotel is older but still clean and tasteful. The suites are huge. Staff are service oriented and the manager works alongside to address issues promptly. Unfortunately they do have issues to address. There was miscommunication with booking.com when we booked an extra night and found the previous booking had been cancelled. On checkout the desk clerk thought we had also booked one additional night and had to delete it. As to be expected, older elevators = problems. Our checkout was complicated by a 45 minute wait for the only functioning elevator. Staff are pleasant rooms are spacious and clean. Location is good. read more

They take the same pay for suites and segregate the indigenous people to certain areas of the hotel (lower floors) where there's ugly suites and ugly beds while giving non indigenous people the better suites for the same rates. Racist policies & take advantage of people who need to be close to the hospital. sickening. read more

Scrolling down and I'm seeing a bunch of less than stellar reviews. Oof. Not to discount their experiences, but I didn't have any of the aforementioned issues with cleanliness at all. Yes, the hotel is on the older side. BUT the room was clean. And as someone mentioned, you are getting a FULL SUITE at a price that's cheaper than the surrounding hotels. Honestly, Century Plaza is a win in my books. Located right in the middle of Downtown Vancouver, I can happily say that my stay was pleasant and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You're a 10-20 min walk away from EVERYTHING. All the restaurants I wanted to try were walking distance. If you're the type to exercise on vacation (I'm not, but you do you), Vancouver Waterfront is a quick morning jog away. The only issue is that you're right next to the hospital and sometimes you walk past people doing drugs, but hey, people are doing drugs in other areas of downtown too! The room wasn't a room, it was a full-on apartment. Actually, it had a better layout than some of the modern condos I see nowadays. You've got a nice sitting area, a perfectly functional kitchen with full sized fridge and stove. TVs in the living area and bedroom. You will not be able to find anything in the area that remotely gets you the same $/sqft value. Service was pretty great. Staff were friendly and we were allowed to check-in early and check-out late. Apparently, I somehow retained my Expedia Gold status through the pandemic even though I didn't go anywhere, so they even gave me a $25 voucher for their in-house restaurant: C-Prime. Got some oysters and a pretty neat smoky old-fashioned. This place isn't perfect but it's pretty dang good! The price, the location, the service. I stayed for a whole week here and would have happily stayed longer. read more

Laid down after a long day of travel then noticed small bed bugs crawling towards me. It was one and then more came out. Found more on the other double bed near the pillow cases. Immediately called front desk for another room. They provided one on the 14th floor, but that was all they did. No comp breakfast, dinner or even an apology.  It was crazy. They acted as if it was normal. The night manager said they would reach out with something for the inconvenience, but nothing ever came of it. The shower rod was bent downward so the shower curtain was in the shower.  The heater wouldnt turn down and was always at 75f so we had to keep the patio door slightly open. The bathroom sink was clogged and had a slow drain. The bathroom vanity light kept randomly turning off so wed be in the dark.  I told front desk about this but they never fixed the issue. Two of the 4 elevators were broke so we had to wait a long time to either get up to our floor or down to the lobby. There is no gym on site.  The bathroom bar soap is cheap so be sure to bring your own.  The ice machine on 5th floor was broken as well so you had to go down to the lobby to get the ice. We requested to have some brought up but the night shift was short of people.  Overall it was an interesting stay. The staff were friendly and the location was great, but the rooms and hospitality need work. Id stay at the Sandman Suites on Davie next time, which was my first option anyway. I wouldnt stay here again.  To the hotel: booking via 3rd party shouldnt mean you stick us in a room with a cheap mattress and bedbugs. It also doesnt mean theres nothing you can do to make it right for the guest for the inconvenience. read more

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience we had at the Century Plaza. The rooms are lovely - spacious and well appointed. Most importantly, the staff is amazing - from the lobby/front desk, maintenance, and housekeeping to Beyond Coffee, we had no needs unmet. The location is perfect with easy access to public transportation, restaurants and shops. Everyone was so helpful and kind! My students absolutely loved the experience and remarked on all these elements and how much they want to return on our next visit to Vancouver. Thank you so much for having us - I know many people fear such a large group but we felt welcomed and appreciated in every aspect of the stay. read more

This is THE most money I have ever paid for the absolute WORST hotel room I've ever stayed in! The lobby is very nice and things went downhill from there. There were so many things wrong in my room that I actually took photos! They tout the blackout curtains but they don't close-at all! I safety-pinned the ones in the bedroom and still couldn't sleep. A/C was in another room (those drapes didn't close either) so had to have door open, door let in light all the way down hallway. VERY noisy (even with wax earplugs), useless balcony with peeling paint, room facing an alley and parking garage with 24/7 light, with emergency vehicles and trash trucks almost all night. TV was pixelating so shut it off, newer carpet but without any padding so you could feel the bad concrete patching underneath, switches that didn't do anything. I stayed here one night before boarding a cruise ship, was never more happy to check out. BEST part of this place is the restaurant. Lovely, quiet place with an amazing manager. I took a nap the minute I got into my cruise cabin. Worst stay EVER! Answered the survey, gave my phone and email, no contact. Shocker. read more

This place is best described as a "3 dressed up as a 9" It tries to pass itself off as a higher end hotel but there is no way. There is absolutely no attention to detail, and has flaws throughout. There are major chips in the paint everywhere. As well as uneven paint and rust stains. The most scary part was the pool - the exposed pipes have tons of rust and black mold. Pretty nasty. Even the bathroom that is shared between the pool and spa what looked nice at first glance also had tears in the seating bench as well as worn and damaged floor boards Ect. I would hate to see the Spa ! Even more bizarre was the paper I had to sign - the Party Policy - highlights include -no noise or unregistered guests in room after 8 pm! -if you cause any disturbance with no warning you will get kicked out, no refund and fined 500$ Never have I had to sign anything like this in all the many hotels I have ever stayed at. Made me wonder what types of undesirables tend to stay here. Some rooms are renovated, and some do have a nice view. That's SOME - the majority are not..... The elevator doesn't require a key which is nice, but they are old and s-l-o-w as hell. They do have vending machines on P2. And an amenity room on the 5th floor that features a computer to use the internet, laundry facilities, ice machine, TV, seating area, coffee station and a photo booth ( currently out of service ! ) Open 24/7 The fitness Center is also 24/7, but the pool is not ( 8am -10 pm ) They also have Absolute Spa and A salon, as well as a comedy club The Comedy Mix. Also a few places to eat. The front desk staff leaves much to be desired. The odd one is ok- but I have encountered ones who are snotty and borderline rude. With all the options in Vancouver, I will definitely not stay here again. read more

Century Plaza - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The only highlight of staying at this hotel is that the location is awesome!!! Easily accessible/walkable to many major attractions and restaurants. The front desk staff were very friendly! However, the decor and furniture is old and dingy. The water temperature was inconsistent so when we were showering the water changed from too hot to too cold. The curtains did not close all the way and let in too much light in the morning. The owner of the property should tear down and rebuild it. read more

We stayed at the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa for two nights, which was a nice stay. Nothing fancy or special, but is a fine choice for lodging in downtown Vancouver. I found Century Plaza Hotel and Spa through Expedia, as our default hotel that we stay at was under renovation. With a great price and location we decided to stay here and found that Century Plaza provided what we normally look for in a hotel: parking, downtown location and a more modern hotel room. Though parking was a little confusing at first, it's nice that they do have parking available for those trekking from a road trip. The parking garage is behind the building and for hotel guests you can park anywhere on levels P2 and above. The problem with that though is, access to the hotel without having to walk down the multiple ramps since there's no elevator in the garage, is only on P2. We learned this after finding a spot on P4 and saw there was no elevator to lug down our baggage. You literally have to walk down the ramps that the cars drive on to get down to P2 for hotel access. Not an ideal situation for those who are carrying a lot of luggage. Parking is $17/night and you must be out at noon the day you check out. The room was nice despite the obvious signs that the building is aging. Bathroom had free toiletries, which was a plus. But there were some kinks. It took awhile to get hot water running, so we had to turn on the shower and wait a bit to get hot water. And the sink was starting to rust. The bedroom area of the room was better. King size bed was comfortable with a duvet and fluffy pillows. I especially liked there were multiple lighting options, including a lamp on each side of the bed for reading. The room also came with a mini fridge, coffee maker and coffee, microwave, sofa/seating area and a flat screen TV. The only other gripe was that the hallway smelled really foul. Every time we walked out we could smell something that seemed like it was rotting and at one point someone had left two garbage bags outside their room. Gross! Location is good. It's about a mile walk towards Gastown, Chinatown and Yaletown, as the hotel is located towards the West End in the Entertainment District. For us, it was nice to walk around and find plenty of options for drinks and food, yet the Entertainment District wasn't really our scene. But if you don't mind walking you can find everything you need and more downtown. Overall, Century Plaza was a good, comfortable stay for two nights while in downtown Vancouver. It's not perfect, but the pros outweighed the negatives. read more

This place is good location for walking downtown.close to Robson street, lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and drug stores. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Offer discounts to Capilano Suspension Bridge, restaurant and spa. I love that you can opt out of room service to help them be green and get $5.00 credit to the lovely cafe. Delish Chia Tea perfect for cold day. The lobby is updated but not the rooms. A little pricey for how outdated the rooms are. It's like walking into your grandmother's apartment. The walls need touch up, plumbing is sub par and water did not completely turn off. With that said it is clean wich is different then rundown. Large rooms with full kitchen. Coffee pot, kettle, stove, oven, fridge, and microwave. Utensils for 2 or 4 people. Bedding is clean but old. Could feel the springs in mattress. Parking is $17 a night but locked garage which is great due to crime and homeless in downtown. Next to hospital so you do hear sirens. With all that said I would stay again since I was out all day and need a clean place to stay. I would recommend just know what you are getting. Clean, friendly, older but hood location hotel. read more

Amazing customer service. A mother-daughter getaway and upon arrival, we were given an upgrade to an executive suite with a balcony with amazing views. I can't speak to parking as we got a ride there. The hotel is very clean. The room was quiet (I couldn't hear anyone beside us or above us) - a definite bonus in a hotel. They welcomed us warmly on arrival and made sure all our needs were attended to in an efficient manner. The location is convenient for exploring downtown. There are lots of stores within walking distance. The price of our stay was reasonable. It has a great spa attached to it and that added to how much I enjoyed our stay. I felt safe exploring the area in the early hours of the morning (before the sun rises). The elevator is a bit dated (felt a little bounce when it landed on our floor) but other than that, a great experience. read more

Found a deal on Hotwire for this hotel. It was okay, the hotel room was not super comfortable. This hotel seems like an old hotel that was renovated in the last 10 years but they didn't try very hard other than the bathroom. I didn't like the hardwood floors throughout the room. It was nice to have a full kitchen with a full refrigerator, microwave, stove, utensils and sink. Parking cost CA$19 a day. They offered $10 credit to the restaurants if you turn down house keeping, which we took advantage of. Great location though, it's centrally located and everything was walking distance. read more

Great value! Booked our week-long stay through Hotwire for a great price (~$70/night) and couldn't have asked for a better location! We had an awesome view from 2805, complete with a small kitchenette, a living room area, and an extremely comfortable bed. On-site gym has everything you need to get your sweat on, and ask about discount tickets to the comedy club. The downstairs coffee shop was convenient, there's also a steakhouse and spa, as well as an indoor pool and steam room. But the best thing was the location. Century Plaza is across the street from the bust station, down the street from the Robson shopping district, and surrounded by tons of eating and drinking options. Most of the lower-scoring reviews reference the nighttime noise and sirens from the hospital next door, but that sound carries through all of downtown. EXTRA NOTES: You can forego housekeeping services and get a $5 credit to use for on-site dining or spa services! There's an ATM off the lobby if you need it. There are plush robes in the closet, didn't notice these til our last day. You can usually find a cab right outside, super convenient. read more

Not a fancy hotel but like the reviews I've read it is clean and comfortable for a short stay. My suite had a small kitchenette area. Coffee maker and a fridge to keep our drinks cold. Hotel has coffee shops and restaurants inside the location. At night the traffic noise could be bothersome for light sleepers. A lot of tour buses, hop on hop off buses stops right in front of the hotel for pick up and drop off. That was very convenient for not having a car. Shopping area about 3 blocks away. IGA grocery store on the same street 2 doors down from the hotel. that was a plus for water purchases since the hotel doesn't provide complimentary water. Overall it was comfortable. Taxi to and from the airport about $35 each way. read more

This hotel was super insufficient when it came to room service and household goods. We ordered breakfast and they didn't give us enough utensils. We requested some be sent to us with extra bath towels. That never happened. We ended up eating with our hands and had to request towels again. After speaking with a manager, their excuse was "the restaurant is not apart of the hotel and household goods were sent for the amount of people who checked into the room." We paid for 3 people in our room, we should have received 3 sets of everything regardless of the standard amount. Lame! read more

3 of the 4 elevators work but are very small and slow. so you wait A LOT.housekeeping was hit and miss-the night I checked in - no shampoo but a ton of body wash and lotion; came back to no shower curtain one day. Came back to a bag of garbage left behind another day. shower is awful - you freeze or burn so you have to constantly adjust it. the kitchenette provides NO cutlery. everything but. no hot water to wash your dishes. staff are nice but the hotel itself for what they charge is outrageous. and for such a massive hotel they had 2 washers and 2 dryers. my second week in (staying for work) I had to go to a laundromat as one of the washer and dryer sets was out of order. I will never stay here again. don't let the photos fool you. read more

This was a special listed on Priceline, and I'm pretty happy with the deal received, but I wouldn't pay full cost only because of it's location (too noisy/too many people). This big hotel sits between a very busy hospital and very large, beautiful church. It is flanked by other tall residential buildings, surrounded by very busy streets, one street over from the Pride District, 3 blocks down from a movie theater, surrounded by a ton of restaurants and coffee shops, and within walking distance of many retail shops. Sirens are heard around the clock because it's next to a hospital and there are a good number of unhoused individuals that are sometimes not too nice or quiet when you walk by/drive by. Only parking on level 2 of the parking structure is reserved for hotel guests and parking is charged per day. There are not many spaces on level 2 but we were also able to find parking on other levels of the structure. Check in was super fast and easy; the front desk staff were really kind and friendly. Our room was clean and in order, the AC unit worked well, the room came with a bar sink, real coffee maker (not just a Keurig), mini fridge, and microwave. Wifi was available and free. The bathroom is a bit outdated and the showerhead is set a bit low on the wall and is fixed (non-removable), but otherwise everything in the bathroom worked fine. The king bed was comfy and came with 4 pillows, the room had black out curtains, two small desks, coffee table, and small couch. It was a large room with many comforts. If you're looking to stay in the city, love the hustle and bustle and being in crowds on the street, then this is a good pick for the location. read more

REVIEWER # 92 Century Hotel is a convenient hotel located in downtown Vancouver. It's located next to Burrard Hotel, A hospital, walking distance from Robson Street (Where all the shopping is) and close to all the restaurants. The front lobby is very elegant and beautiful. The staff are all very helpful. The rooms are just OKAY. There is really nothing to brag about-they were quite average, to say the least. The fitness center that they offer is nice and big; towels are provided. I spent one night in their suite which offered a small kitchen with a stove, microwave, coffee maker, fridge and all the essentials such as: pots, pans, towels. I had a great view from my room that overlooked the City. They offer a TV in the room that has all the premium channels, so there are some decent channels available. What I loved most about this hotel is that many of my tour busses from Vancouver to Victoria could pick me up right in front of this hotel (very convenient). The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and there is also a coffee shop café located right outside the hotel. I would say that for the price that you pay and the location, this place is a good choice. **P. S- This hotel is Pet-friendly! read more

I don't understand how can anyone complain about this wonderful hotel. I am so exhausted from having only 2 hrs sleep last night but I just have to set the record straight n get their rating higher. I walked in the room n was so "wowed" it's not a hotel room it's a huge suite like an apartment 700 sf!!! Huge sofa, love seat, 40 inch flat TV, the balcony is huge, I was grateful I had the 26th floor corner suite, 1 side had the ocean view, the other the most phenomenal view of Vancouver. The kitchenette is more like a real kitchen w so many pots and pans, stove, oven n a microwave!! A full size refrigerator, I never cook when I travel but it's good to have a microwave to heat up my coffee or left over. Had I known this hotel was like home I would have stayed 2 more nights. The location is uniquely convenient, walking distance to Granville marketplace, Chinese n Japanese fast food, bakery! KFC.? Next yo St Paul hospital n a drug store. What a treat, in Paris or pretty much anywhere in Europe, the hotel rooms are tiny only 150 sf!!! For $200 a night!! The bathroom is so nice, the lights were bright, im sick n tired of luxurious hotels that are so dimly lit, you can't see anything, folks, hotels are not nightclubs!!! At Century plaza, they even had a heating lamp, it's so warm and cozy. Vancouver is a nice city, soon this will be called VANCOUKONG, after 1/2 of HK will move here! More authentic Chinese food here! I understand some complain that the hotel is historic but it's very clean n with all the amenities mentioned above, to me it's a solid 5 stars n I'll be back!!! I don't mind another Alaskan cruise if it's 60% off n most depart from Vancouver. Oh did I forget they gave us a coupon for $30 off their Italian restaurant. read more

The delightful lobby and helpful staff are the highlights of an otherwise drab hotel. The rooms are spacious but unfortunately they are quite rundown. When we first walked in my elementary age daughter asked "are we really gonna stay here?" after finding stains on the laundered sheets. If you need a very large room then you might be able to look past the age neglect. The location is great and the rates will certainly be more budget friendly than other nearby hotels. read more

Century Plaza - I only wish the rest of the hotel was as nice as the lobby. - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was debating for about 5 minutes should I give them a 3 or a 4 stars. After 5 minutes I remember how I was treated upon checking in so I decided to give them a 2 Stars. Because of their crappy service. I requested two double beds for my one bedroom suite, I called and confirmed with them about 3 weeks before my arrival. So you can guess how surprises I were when they told me that they didn't have what I requested, Okay, that's find I get it I requested it but that doesn't guarantee that I would get it. Okay whatever, I'm too tired to argue. But then the rude front desk gal that was checking me in flat out called me a liar. Her words were, "When did you call? I didn't see a note on my computer so I don't think you called at all." So what did I do? I pulled up my email confirmation and I showed her my request online that stated I requested two beds in my suite and showed her my phone log when I called them. Her reply? "Well Miss it's called a request that doesn't guarantee you'll get two beds." Um...Really? I was over the whole bed thing, but her attitude was what annoyed me. Calling a customer a liar? Then when I proved to her I wasn't lying instead of apologizing she goes on and try to be smart about it? WTF? First of all I'm sure you're tired because I see a lot of people checking in and demanding things. But I was polite, I said my please and thank you's, I smiled and I even ask her how her day was when I first walked in. So if you have a bad day don't take it out on me, take it out on someone else. You know what top her reply and rudeness? It's when she called her manager on me! The butch told the manager I requested two bed and there's none so can she downgrade me to a studio room with two beds which the manager agreed. I'm standing there like, 'WTF? I said okay to the one bedroom suite with a king bed. Why am I been down graded?" I flat out told them there is no way I'm getting downgraded if they can't refund me the difference. They're reply? "We don't refund the differences after you book." Okay whatever I want my suite that's all. Then they had the nerve to look annoy that I didn't agree to the studio room. I'm not stupid, I see tons of people checking in trying to get last min booking. I got my one bedroom suite about $87 a night and I'm over here hearing you're trying to charge the guest $150 a night. Ya'll some shady ass people, trying to downgrade me without talking to me? I'm nice, but I can be a b!tch. I just don't believe in being mean and b!tchy for no reason. After the horrible check in I finally got my card keys and headed to our room. The room was fine, it was clean, nothing was breaking so I'm not going to complain about the room because for $87 a night for a one bedroom suite which was very roomy it was worth it. Also it was in a very good location everything was a walking distance in downtown. I'm guessing because they know they're in a hot location area they can be jerks to their customers because if you're like me who plans and book things ahead of time the rooms can be really cheap and affordable. Was it worth being talked down like that tho? No, freakin way! But it's okay I called and complain to expedia so they credit me $50 back :) I found that they have a strict policy. If your neighbors complain about the noise and partying, you will be kicked out with no refund and you have to pay for your neighbors room. Okay, that's a bit much. But whatever, they had a comedy show room, a spa, gym, meeting room, kitchen and bar down stairs. Parking is about $18 a night plus tax. They can easily get 4 stars if they weren't rude. Because beside the horrible customer service the rooms were decent. The company really need to train their staff because those people are the faces of their companies. I'm just saying, you're being paid to check people in so customer service is very important. Calling customers a liar, then make plans to downgrade without talking to them is a big no-no. I would NOT recommend anyone to stay here. It's kind of sad, the hotel is nice too bad they got employees working in the front with no people skills. read more

We lucked into this hotel with a Groupon for our stay in Vancouver. For the deal I found, we would have been pretty easy to please, but Century Plaza was actually a great hotel. Yes, there's some ambulance noise from being near the hospital. But I figure when you're in a major city's downtown, you don't get to complain about noise. Kind of how you don't get to complain about crowds in New York, traffic in LA, or rain anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Our room on the 30th floor was amazing, with fantastic views of the mountains, the city, and even the water (we didn't technically have a water-view room). The room itself was huge and luxurious. The bed was comfortable, and the extra couch and large desk were helpful. The mini fridge would have been useful for a longer stay. And the bathroom is one of the best hotel bathrooms of my life-- well-appointed absolutely huge bathtub so you didn't have to decide which part of yourself to soak, if you know what I mean. The pool/tub took a while to fill, but it was worth the wait. The location makes it walkable to a lot of downtown, even though it's a pretty long walk to Stanley Park. Free WiFi was definitely a perk, and saved us from having to pay AT&T for international cell phone service. Service was friendly-- we actually got our room several hours early, which was fantastic for a nap since the cruise ship dropped us off at 7 AM. They were great with giving us maps and directions, even if we were unsuccessful in our quest to find JapaDog (where do you hide this world-famous cart?). I never get to spend as much time in Vancouver as I'd like, but I'd be very happy to end up staying here next visit! read more

Not a bad hotel at all. I was pretty skeptical with the average yelp reviews but was pleasantly surprised that our stay here was pretty comfortable. It is located at the heart of downtown so you can get to a lot of the tourist destinations pretty conveniently. Parking is pretty expensive so make sure you opt for their $20 a day parking. We got a hotel package through travelzoo, which made our stay even more affordable. The lounge is designed in a pretty modern/trendy style. The receptionist was pretty nice. She was fast and efficient in processing our transaction. We got a room on the 28th floor. I was pretty happy with our room because it had a view of the skyscrapers. They opened the window a bit so you get gusts of fresh air. The room was pretty clean and I didn't see any major dirt/defects. The only issues I had were that the tv was a bit small and the bathroom toilet faced the door without much room in between. It is just a cramped space inside. Another issue I had was that there was a constant tapping above my bed. I got over the incessant noise but it still was slightly annoying. I think the tapping came from the air conditioning wind blowing onto something but I couldn't figure it out. They have all the premium tv channels so you'll be able to watch some good television shows. We enjoyed watching the food network. Their coffee is decent too. read more

The Century Plaza Hotel is located in Downtown Vancouver and is an extremely convenient place to stay since you can literally walk to where most of the shopping is on Robson. The hotel itself is pretty nice, but let me just say that the lobby is a heck of a lot nicer than the room. I mean, the rooms are decent, but the lobby makes the hotel look a little more luxury than the rooms do. The room was very spacious; we had a kitchenette, a sofa and coffee table, and two beds (even though we didn't need two), and of course a bathroom. The parking costs an arm and a leg, but I wasn't sure if I could park on any of the surrounding streets. They even had a comedy club in the basement of the hotel while we were staying there. This hotel isn't anything fancy, but for a decent and convenient downtown location, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Walking in and around town was great since everything is close-by. Breakfast at the restaurant in the lobby wasn't half-bad either. read more

This was the first place I've ever stayed in Vancouver BC, and I've stayed several times since. I found it via its ad in the AAA book. They seemed to have good prices and a great location. Prices fluctuate with the season and can be fair, or a little pricey in high season, at which point one can shop around or choose a further out location. The lobby is a little dated and compact, but so what? Wait until you get up to the rooms. They are actually mini-suites, with a seating area and a kitchenette. For travelers who will never cook while in Vancouver's West End, the kitchenette is superfluous, but for some people it may be useful. There are some great views, particularly if you get a corner room. There's a spa, per the name? Either it's tucked away and/or requires an optional fee. I wouldn't know. I never saw it, nor signage to a swimming pool. With its location on Burrard, between Davie and Robson, you can walk just about everywhere in the peninsular center of downtown Vancouver, assuming you bring an umbrella. Most of the attractions are within 10 blocks. It will be further than that if you are interesting in seeing the perimeter of Stanley Park. One can walk to the park entrance and then take the horse-drawn trolley. Or, there is a parkade at the hotel, as they call it, and one can drive to spots in the center of Vancouver, though you'll find it's easier to walk to most of them because you'll be scrambling for scarce metered parking every place you'll go after leaving the hotel's parkade. It gets 4 stars because it's not a 5 star property and it's a little dated; however, in terms of earning its stripes for value, 4 stars are indisputable. read more

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was affordable and fairly cleaned for the price I paid. It felt homey. The staffs were friendly. My husband and I got there 6 hours prior to our check in time and they were accommodating. We got our rooms right away. They also presented us 3 $25 vouchers to use at their restaurant or spa (I have a different review for this restaurant by the way). The view from our room wasn't too bad. It wasn't the best, but I'm glad we didn't have an obstructed view. I liked that they had a 24 hour gym and that we were able to leave our luggage at the front after check out so that we could go out some more. read more

I stayed for 4 nights in April. This place met my expectations. I was happy with all of the important things, which for me were mostly about comfort in sleeping, cleanliness and the feel of the room. I booked a suite partly because I wanted a separate bedroom, and the price was not much more than a regular room. The bed was extremely comfortable, and on the firm side, which I like. The pillows were nice and I believe I may have asked for one additional pillow that was flatter than the ones they had on the beds. The living room was adequate and had great views (I was on a high floor, I think 16). The furnishings do leave a bit to be desired - they are on the plain side and not all that attractive, however, this was definitely not a deal breaker for me. It was comfortable enough to hang out in and have breakfast in. The kitchen was furnished with basic equipment, although I didn't really use it much. The staff was kind and helpful. I didn't check the workout facilities so can't comment on that. The location is good for walking to things around Vancouver. Definitely will stay here again! This was my second hotel stay in Vancouver. The first time I stayed at the Listel Hotel, and I far prefer this one. read more

I'm torn about my rating because the room was huge and the view was great, but a few things bothered me about this place. First let me talk about the good things. I've seen a lot of reviews saying the rooms are super outdated. Maybe I got lucky, but my room wasn't like that at all. I was in a King executive suite on the 29th floor. The room was huge and had a full kitchen, a jetted soaker tub, and a balcony. The bathroom had updated tile, a new toilet, and I was completely surprised to see that tub. But here comes the bad stuff.... The jets didn't work. I was pretty bummed about that. After a full day of walking, I was looking forward to taking advantage of that tub. The shower itself was pretty bad. It was either scalding hot or freezing cold even though the temperature was perfect when it came out of the faucet before pulling the shower lever. Just like other reviews, the WiFi was very spotty for me. It would randomly stop working. I could see this being an issue for someone coming here on business. The last problem was the bed. It was too firm. I had a really hard time sleeping. This hotel is in a great location. I heard two sirens the whole night, so don't let the hospital being close by sway your decision to stay. The tub thing was a let down, but I didn't even know it was going to be there to begin with...and I seriously doubt every shower is like the one in my room. If you don't mind a hard bed or need to rely on WiFi, you should consider this place. read more

Century Plaza - View from room 2906 - Hotels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

We are currently staying here and I'm considering leaving. There is so much mold in the room. The size of the room is really great, but everything seems dirty and old. The bathroom has gross stains and the floors all look unclean. The kitchen is great-- really convenient and surprisingly well stocked, but some of the dishes looked unclean. The counters looked unclean. The lobby looks nice, but the rest of the hotel is run down and some of it is really dirty. Outdoor staff and cleaning crew are friendly and helpful. Front desk staff are really unfriendly. It is nice that there is a dog park at Nelson Park just a block away and there is a weekly farmer's market there. It was so nice for our dogs. It is also very convenient that there is an IGA store walking distance for food, but there are a lot of homeless people and addicts wandering around. I have really mixed feelings because some parts are nice and really helpful for travelers. It's nice to have a kitchenette, little table, couch, laundry room and dishware, but this room is really musty, uncomfortable. The window barely cracks open only a little, so there's no fresh air and so much mold. Gross. read more

An oldie but goodie. Looking at exterior pictures doesn't quite do it justice; much of the inside is up to modern standards while other areas seem to persist through time. To me, it feels like the lobby was the focal point of [the] renovations. It's sleek and pleasantly modern with clean lines while showing hints of some retro roots to its past. The fitness room is one of the best around: spacious, plenty of workout options from free weights & mats, to machines and bars. My only main issue there was the water dispenser. If using 2 dispensers, one should be cold and one room temp/warm. The evac plan says this was originally a meeting room so converting to fitness was a good decision. The elevators were decent. Some floor tiles were cracked but they appeared to function ok and had nice mirror walls. No key access req'd FYI but I'm indifferent. My room was pretty cool. All rooms appeared to include small kitchen spaces so that's awesome and versatile for many reasons (cooking local/regional foods, saving on dining out and focusing on activities, heating up leftovers, etc). I didn't like the log-shaped pillows; I prefer the traditional shape but sleeping was still fine. The flat screen TV in the corner can swing to face the bed and kitchen. Shower was nice and all water temps came up fairly quick. The afternoon sun coming into the windows in my western facing studio room provides a nice warmth in the cold & clear winter days. The renovations in here are spotty; perhaps they just focused on focal points and left anything not needing immediate replacement in place. For example, the bathroom tile work and shower are nice but looks like sealant/caulking is missing in a tiny corner in the bottom. The toilet can be more efficient; the flush cycle creates a big whirlpool before going down. Sound proofing the room door (and better jam seals) would be a great idea for many customers. Garage guest parking is pretty good. Overall, very decent facility. The staff were quite friendly throughout my stay; everyone from the midnight late check in, to the phone calls, and check out. read more

Convinient hotel in downtown. Big room, king size bed. Old but clean. Not fancy, but fair enough. The fan of bathroom was old and noisy and the room was a little bit cold, not chilly. 古いけどこ綺麗にしている感じの良い中規模ホテル。 ロケーションは抜群。スタッフの感じも良い。 バスルームのファンの音が大きいのと、部屋が余り温まらない事がマイナス。立地からするとリーズナブルなので また泊まる可能大 read more

The lobby of this hotel is very modern and upgraded but what a disappointment once you get to the room. The furniture in the room is old and Very used. The two beds are about the size of a small full or a little bigger than a twin. Very small! Another downfall- we had the A/C running and the smell of weed just kept coming through the room. When we called down we were told nothing they could do since they didn't know the source and to just turn off the A/c. Not good when we have a toddler and I'm pregnant! Good things: The staff was very courteous and excellent! Breakfast was great and the room has a full kitchen (perfect if traveling with a family). read more

MAN THIS HOTEL IS GREAT! We were Early so our room wasnt ready yet, no problem. They take care of your luggage untill you come back to pick it up. Parking is 17$ a day but in the garage behind the hotel. Just drive up there and tell the guy you have to check in, he'll give you a temperary spot. After you check in they'll tell you where to park. The room was huge! 22nd floor, kitchen included. Yes you can hear street noises because of the single glass windows but it wasnt that bad. Would definitely stay again! read more

I reviewed this place years ago and it was somehow removed. This is a very average spa in every way and I would not recommend. I can't believe my lengthy review was not just removed but it disappeared. Strange. If I can save a tourist from thinking this is an elite spa, I am happy to do so. Then again, you get what you pay for which is why I am giving it a 3. read more
