This property is adjacent to a very noisy bar. The website is misleading because it suggests you can get a free SIM card, which is not true. Suggests that you can have one person per room, which is not true. I felt completely misled by the information on Expedia
Clean and comfy bed, we have private room so whole room was great for space though small as like any accommodation in an older style building. Service at front desk was friendly with each passing as well as check in and departure. Bathrooms well equipped & extremely clean and looked after.
I really enjoyed staying here. It was cleaned and neat as well as well organizing all the places, loved kitchen interior. I loved my room. The employee was super nice and let me stay one bedroom alone when there is a space available. This is fantastic customer service that I had. My experience was really good and easy to acess everywhere. Thank you combie to make me a great experience in Vancouver.
Great location. Could walk everywhere.
Had a 2 person room. Was noise from restaurant/bar below and no A/C but knew before we booked. There was a fan in the room and we slept fine.
Front desk people were nice. Room and bathroom down hall were spotless.
