Really Good Place to Stay
The location is the best. It is by the sea and you can find lots of restaurants near the hotel. The hotel seems a little old, but it has everything that you need. I really recommend this hotel if you are looking for an accommodation with reasonable price.

Weekend in Van
Accommodations were comfortable - not exceptional, but access to restaurants, views, and attractions was exceptional. Main outdoor attraction is Stanley Park (within walking distance), and many interesting dining options along Denman and Davie streets. A walk along the shoreline was also enjoyable providing the weather was cooperating.

Great location and super friendly staff
Loved the place, staff is very friendly. Had a balcony that overlooked English Bay, superb to relax and let the thoughts roam free. Rooms are very clean and maids are very attentive to details. Hotel is also used by large groups - just avoid the reception when those groups are leaving! :)

Great city break location steps from the bay
Had room 323 with a partial mountain view. Comfy bed and sofa plus excellent organic coffee. Spacious bathroom and wardrobe space. Staff friendly but professional and efficient. Lovely location and easy inexpensive access from Airport via Skytain and bus no.5, stops right outside hotel. Good range of cafes and shops near the hotel also.

A cozy room in a great location
As a college student, I didn't want to stay anywhere too extravagant. I'm glad I chose to stay at the Best Western Sands. The location is great, so you can explore the city easily. When you come back to the hotel, you can relax and be comfortable. What else do you need?
