Such a great experience staying here, such lovely helpful staff. Really clean room and very comfortable bed! We will 100% be booking to stay here again anytime we have to go to the city! Will recommend to anyone and everyone!
A lively boutique hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. A very short walk to Gas town. Nice facilities, clean and a great not for profit organization.
This was an adorable boutique hotel. The area is a bit sketchy though with a noticeable homeless population. We had excellent service and the bed was very comfortable. Our room had stairs, so make sure you tell them if you have mobility issues.

The hotel itself is nice, with friendly staff, a great lounge area and local art. However the area outside felt unsafe with lots of sketchy people - both day and night.
Room was very nice. Staff were friendly and we had no issues even though it is in an area with some homeless people. Never bothered once. Would stay again.
We loved this hotel. The room was wonderful, as was the staff. We stayed in the King Salmon Suite. The decor was beautiful and we enjoyed the balcony. It is definitely a hidden gem of Vancouver.
Hotel was great and nice and clean. Area around hotel has a lot of unhoused people and substance abuse. The area does smell like urine, but if you know this before hand, you aren’t surprised. Hotel itself is wonderful, affordable, and a lovely social enterprise. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
