The room was very cozy, fully furnished - which helped organize my stuff in it. There was room for luggage, clothes, things, and for me to roam around. Bed mattress is on the hard side - which I really appreciate. Full back support. Linen was clean and staff were very accommodating. Note that there is no actual kitchen and one will not be able to cook for themselves. The food places around the near area are not the cheapest - but there is a Tim in the area. The area is beautiful University of BC. If you stay there, please find a day to just visit the various public buildings, the architecture is stunning and worth the visit. There is a local bar with a good happy hour at the AMS student nest, if you don't want to go too far for a drink. Sunsets are gorgeous as well, and there is a beach just a walk and a long staircase away. The only thing I'd change would be maybe putting some paper towels in the kitchenette area, and having some kind of curfew so people don't keep talking on the phone when someone is trying to sleep. It was a private room, but you could hear everything from other rooms, fyi if you are someone who talks - be mindful. Otherwise it was perfect. Thank you dear crew at the reception, and dear housekeeping team that made the visit comfortable.

It’s a great place for a private room with a shared bathroom in a great university environment with easy transit links to downtown or the city as a whole.

The location of the hotel is very good. It is in the UBC campus with a nice beach in walking distance. I went there to watch the sunset. The bed is twin size. The price is very affordable. Great for single travellers.

I would highly recommend this property for one’s stay in Vancouver. It has everything that you need in order to travel in a relaxed manner, they have washers and dryers which allows you to pack less clothing.The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and truly ready to assist you when you need. The one downside that I would say about the property is the location seeing as how it is a bit far from downtown Vancouver you can easily get a bus pass from the shoppers on campus.
