I stayed one night at the English Bay Hotel before heading out on a cruise, and it served its purpose well. The location is excellent—just 2 km from the Canada Place Cruise Terminal, which made for an easy walk with luggage. While the hotel isn’t modern or recently renovated, it offers a full kitchen in the room, which was perfect for preparing a quick meal.
The surrounding area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store nearby, making it easy to stock up or dine out. The beds were okay—not luxurious, but comfortable enough for a short stay.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-frills option with a kitchen in downtown Vancouver, this is a solid choice. Just don’t expect anything fancy.
