Expected More

The room was HOT when I arrived. Tried the AC but right over the bed. So turned off. Fortunately a small window opened. Just didn’t feel like a $300+ room.

The pros: There was more to the room than I expected - had a kitchen fully stocked with dishes - lots of space. The bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. The cons: the sheets werent in very good condition (stained) and there was only a shower, no tub. Also the check-in desk/reception was in a different building which was fine but just slightly less convenient all around. You'd need to leave the building to get any neccessities (such as a toothbrush that I forgot). Also not very soundproof. Overall though decent and close enough to UBC hospital...about a 10 min walk... I would stay there again.

A Most Comfortable Stay

My stay at the Gage Suites UBC was very comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The mini-kitchen so useful and the room light-full during the day and the blackout curtains making it dark at night. My room was perfect as a solo traveler. And, the UBC campus is GORGEOUS!!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Pro: on campus. Cons: the rooms are outdated, and there were issues with my toilet always running and the toilet seat was way beyond needing replacement as it was peeling. For the room price, I expected a much nicer experience. When I did have someone come in to freshen up, one of the staff had such poor body odor that I had to spray perfumes to get the smell out. It truly left a lingering bad smell. Other complaints but this is the gist of it.

I recently stayed at Gage Suites UBC and could not have asked for a better experience. The accommodations are brand new, spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished; I felt completely at ease the moment I arrived. Having a full kitchen and a cozy living area made it simple to unwind after a day of exploring and equally easy to stay productive when I needed to work. The bathroom was a highlight: excellent water pressure and a sleek, modern design made every shower a pleasure. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth and attentiveness, offering helpful suggestions and responding to every request without delay. With its prime on-campus location, I was able to stroll through UBC’s stunning grounds and enjoy nearby dining and shops within minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend Gage Suites UBC to anyone looking for a true five-star stay in Vancouver.

A great place to come home to after a long day of sightseeing. Much more affordable than many of the overpriced hotels in downtown Vancouver, and only a short easy 6 mile drive to the downtown area. It is very convenient and close to folks wishing to visit Wreck Beach.
