Top hotels in Central Vancouver
Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront
I was so appalled by the state of repair while I walked down the hallways that I almost left the hotel before I reached my room. At least the room itself was in a decent state. Then my kids wanted to try the pool and it was filthy and ill-maintained.

Hotel Willo (formerly YWCA Hotel Vancouver)
I would say it’s important to know that there’s heavy construction going on in the area. If you are driving a vehicle, it is very difficult to turn into the property. Very few access points. Otherwise, I would say this is a lovely hotel and I will stay here again. As I have done many times.

The rooms and bathrooms are dated, but very clean. Staff at front desk and accompanying restaurants were very friendly.

Moda Hotel
Reminiscent of some of the nicer European hostels I stayed at in my youth. Thin walls make for noise, but overall was clean and maintained. Staff were very courteous and helpful.
