Loved the location! The hotel is in the heart of Gastown and within walking distance of many of Vancouver’s top tourist attractions, as well as great restaurants and cafés. Check-in and check-out were quick and seamless, and the digital key system made everything very convenient. The amenities were modern, complete, and well-maintained. I especially loved the interior—it perfectly blends modern design with the building’s historic charm. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Such a beautiful well designed hotel. It knocks everything out the park. Very good secure parking. Great location for walking. The only thing that is not in the hotel's control is the homeless situation. I had kids and it was very challenging to navigate homeless people around the hotel. Other than that, this is a beautiful space with more than everything you would need for the stay. Free laundry is a huge plus!

Beware the area is very confronting! Heavy drug use everywhere! You do not feel safe in the area at all! The staff barely speak English . The check-in process is very clunky, especially when having to use Google Translate to communicate. 2 nights not good value at all . The rooms and beds are comfortable, and the linen and towels are fresh and new. Better to stay in a hotel, not in that area of gastown. Vancouver needs to clean up their drug problem.

We stayed at the Block House for a couple of nights and really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very responsive to our questions via text messaging both before and after check-in, and the property and rooms were exceptionally clean. The best part is the location—you really can't beat it. You're just a short walk from downtown, the waterfront, and right in the heart of Gastown. There are also several great coffee shops nearby, along with a charming breakfast and lunch spot directly across the street. One thing to keep in mind is that the property is located on the edge of Gastown. Just a couple of blocks away, you'll encounter a less polished part of Vancouver with a visible homeless population. In addition, the building is historic, so if you're a light sleeper, it's a good idea to bring earplugs. You may hear some street noise or people screaming in the middle of the night as well as sounds from neighboring rooms. That said, this is to be expected in an older building in a lively urban neighborhood, and it shouldn't come as a surprise if you've done a bit of research on the area before your stay.
