It was amazing they have two cats that are so sweet and loving!! Highly recommend if your on a budget and need a place to stay in Vancouver without breaking the bank!! Also I met some awesome new peeps like Mark and a cool French dude who knew how to make spaghetti bolognese without a recipe ❤️ highly recommend this place I cannot wait to go back again when I need to stay in Vancouver ❤️🍻🇨🇦
Amazing cultural experience. There's a popping bar downstairs too, so you don't have a far way back after a few drinks! It's centrally located, near trains and buses, if you do go further. Roberto at the front desk is a real sweetheart; he's there to help with anything you'll need. Even if it's just to chat, or lock yourself out like I did. The hotel cats are sooo cute and nice to play with. The kitties really make Cambie feel like home! I can't wait to see them again!
