Reviews Cassandra Hotel Vancouver

Guest Review of the Cassandra Hotel
Sep 6, 2009
Stayed for 3 nights Sept 09. The hotel is based near china town, about 8 stops from downtown Vancouver on the SkyTrain, the station of which is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. There is also a bus stop just next to the hotel.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, but a bit stuffy due to the fact that the windows did not open. But once the AC kicked in it was okay.

The only problem with the room other than the windows, was that there were cigarette burns on the bedspread and cobwebs on the ceiling but all in all the room was nice. I cannot comment on the hotel amenities i.e. spa, launderette etc as we did not use them.

I would recommend staying in this reasonably priced comfortable hotel.

The price was good and the bed was okay
The ice machine was broken for almost all days! Even so with the vending machines! Room was big but not effective the furniture is far too old for this century. Breakfast is not every day and the staff was unfriendly and even tired. We do not recommend this hotel also because it is too far from downtown.

Most of hotel staff at check-in area were very friendly and helpful. We had a window with a view of the mountains which we really enjoyed. One of the main reasons we originally chose the Cassandra Hotel was because we did not have to pay an additional amount to park! nice room, the air cond took a while working iout how it worked

I stayed at this hotel for a business trip. The staff was helpful and friendly. I had a problem with my room's heater/aircon, but it got fixed fairly quickly. The room was a steal compared to other hotels that I was looking it. The Collingwood area was also nice too since there were a lot of ethnic restaurants that I got to eat at. Overall, good value for what you get.
