One of few reasonably priced hotels I could find in Vancouver. She's not modern, but the Waldorf does have its throwback charm.

Run down facility in a bad neighborhood!

Bed mattress was old and saggy. No box springs. Must’ve been 20+ years old! The shower had cracked tile & moldy caulking, Located in the worst part of town according to the two Uber drivers. The hotel lobby door is locked 24/7! My room had an old-fashioned keyed deadbolt lock. Didn’t feel very safe. This place looks like it was built in the 60s and never updatedThe worst hotel I’ve been in over the last 30 years!
Saggy old matress

Okay place with the loveliest of staff

The loveliest of staff! No issues with booking. However, not very nice or clean for the price (but guess that’s just how things are these days?). Hairs in bathroom, bathroom sink very slow to drain (needs snaking!), and weird rumbling noise in room (AC?) that made it hard to sleep. This was room 115.

I couldn’t believe this Hotel was advertised by Travelocity!!! Pictures on the website was misleading, very unsafe, homeless and drug seeking persons surrounding the Hotel. I was not going to put myself and my husband through this nightmare. The Receptionist was the only Nice aspect of this hotel and understood the reason for me and my husband wanting to leave. I booked another hotel right there in the lobby and was in total disbelief regarding the surrounding area of the hotel, lack of air conditioning, elevator and the price ($280 & $150 deposit) being charged by Travelocity. Worst Hotel “Ever” and Deserves a Negative Zero Rating!!!!!

We did not realize this hotel was in a really bad area of town. There were chains on the door. Homeless people all around as well as garbage. There were men hanging out in there entranceway. We decided not to stay there.

Luckily, we only stayed one night. Our room was dated, bed uncomfortable. Night Club on property (which we knew about ahead of time) was extremely loud even with the use of ear plugs. Our first time in Vancouver and not familiar with area when we booked this hotel. We were boarding a ship the next day. I would have searched for lodging closer to the ship yard. We did finish our stay with a delicious breakfast up the street at Yolks....

Liked that it was on the City bus line and easy to travel to and from, altho directions about bus routes would have been handy. When i made reservation, I asked for first floor or the fewest steps--I got a room with the most stairs. I asked for a room as far as possible from the bar - they gave me a room right over it. T.here was mold around the tub, there was dark/black hair all thru one of the beds. Both beds were lumpy and uncomfortable, as were all the pillows. I would give it 1 out of 10 because the wtaff was amazing, friendly and helpful.

Overall staff its friendly, place doesnt offer elevator, bathroom doesnt offer any hooks for you to hang your towels or clothing. Only 3 hanger was provided. Bed its 7 out of 10. House keeping didnt work on our room till 4:30 in the evening. Area have lots of homeless. Overall i will rate it a 6

Not what was expected

Quite disappointed overall. The location was terrible, in one of the worst streets in Vancouver and nothing warned us about it. Although fairly clean, the hotel is old and nothing like the pictures (misleading). Asian and Peruvian Staff were very friendly and helpful. Way too expensive for what it is. Will not return

Overpriced HELL hotel—-zero stars

After signing my name to the receipt and being handed a literal key, we were told there would be loud music from 1030pm to 230am. Not joking at all. A few blocks away was a drug addicted skid row. People were smoking, injecting and cooking their drugs. Do not go here. The restaurant was great but everything else was awful.
