Loved this hotel! Very friendly staff, great restaurant and great views of the water. Granville island is fantastic and using the water taxis was a great way to get around. We will be staying here again when we return to this great city!

Spectacular location super staff wonderfully comfy
This hotel recently was refurbished and it's a complete WOW now. From first interaction with the desk clerk, housekeeping, waitstaff in the restaurant, to check out we felt well taken care of - in a spectacular location with wonderful rooms. We actually stayed in this hotel 2X on this trip. First time we splurged on a suite with a view straight down False Creek: so very worth it! The views never ceased to impress. Second time we took a more standard room and while the views weren't as spectacular, the beds, bedding, roominess, furnishings were all excellent. We only did Happy Hour at the restaurant this time, but we've done brunch in years past. Tasty, again - beautiful views of False Creek, super staff. Staying here feels like you're in a resort but with beautiful water/city views. Gorgeous walks around Granville Island & going either direction from GI (which is NOT an Island, just an area jutting out!) But if you're in downtown? Hop a Water Taxi for jsut a few bux and it zips you right over False Creek. (Tip: If you're staying a few days and there's two of you: buy a book of 10 rides to give you 5 passages!)

Love the location for spending time walking and exploring around work commitments. Our room was very warm and hard to control temperature. It also lacked any view which was a disappointment, given the hotel location. Bed and pillows were great as well as the room amenities.

I have stayed in this hotel several times and thought it was nice but not spectacular. This time there was quite a lot of noise - from above and from kids running around corridors. Also, the one and only bathroom sink didn't drain. A noisy heating fan was also very loud. Turned it off at night. Love the location but hotel needs more attention.

The beds are the worst. Very uncomfortable. This property has the potential to be great! It could be the nicest boutique hotel in the city but it's outdated, tacky, very plain room with the worst beds. Too bad, we really wanted to love it.

Love this hotel!
This is my second visit to the Grandville Island Hotel. The first was pre-COVID back in 2019. It was so wonderful to see that everything was the same. The accommodations are well appointed with beautiful views from just about any room. Service continues to be on-point with excellence. Parking is a bit tricky AT the hotel specifically but there is ample "public parking" all around with pricing comparable (or sometimes cheaper) that the daily hotel rate. The property is "pet friendly" so we traveled with our dog. It was wonderfully surprising to find a cute little park area right next door to hotel. It's a big hill with several walking paths, lots of grassy areas, and connects to the walkway along the docks. So walking your dog regularly is not only convenient but relaxing and scenic. The hotel is the perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway with so many things - shops, artist stalls, markets, restaurants, breweries - all within walking distance. Your also just a short drive to downtown Vancouver. We're looking forward to returning to Grandville Island and this lovely hotel.
