When we arrived at the hotel it looked pretty nice, This hotel is clean enough - but I definitely expected more for what I was paying. Basically you are paying for the location, not the quality of the hotel. I definitely expected much more from a Best Western. The Canada Line on the Sky Train now goes from the Airport to a stop that is only a few blocks from the hotel. It saved us a ton of money to take the train instead of a cab and it was really easy!

Some people mentioned about ’crossing’ the alley between the main building and this little annexed building. But for me, it was close enough to get to my room, and the security wasn’t an issue at all (you need to use the key card three times before you can get into your room!). Overall I am very satisfied for the price I paid.

We enjoyed this hotel. The room was spacious and we also had a private sitting room. There was a TV in the bedroom and one also in the sitting room. For what we got here, the price was very reasonable. They also have a good little restaurant and a nice outdoor patio to eat. It was also easy to pick up the trolley across the street from the hotel.

Keep in mind this is a Best Western so it's definitely not super fancy. That said, me and my friend both enjoyed this hotel: great price, great location, above average room. What else do you need?

We stayed at the Courtyard Hotel, which is behind the main tower across a somewhat sketchy alleyway. The setting is secure and private and it's more like staying at a studio apartment (I wish the room came with a fridge!). It's quiet, clean and spacious so all in all, I would recommend this place.

When you book online you cannot tell where you will be staying (main tower vs courtyard room) so you might want to call the hotel ahead of time and see if that matters to you.

I chose this hotel because I was going to a concert in downtown Vancouver, and wanted to be close. I also needed a suite, and the price of a suite was very reasonable when compared with other hotels in town.
The hotel stay itself was fine. The room was very nice and clean, and staff were friendly. I used the underground parking as well, and didn't experience any problems.
The only issue really is that we were kept up very late by loud, drunken individuals on the street going to and from the various bars, etc.
Had we been on a higher floor this may not have been as much of an issue.
If you are planning to stay on a Friday or Saturday night, it may be very noisy due to the fact that you are right downtown surrounded by various clubs and bars. So if you are wanting a quiet weekend, I would recommend a hotel further away from the centre of the city.
Otherwise, no complaints about the hotel itself.

I have stayed at the courtyard room and liked an apartment setting. I liked the place with a good atmosphere like a real garden. Although one must walk across the back lane to the entrance of courtyard building, i didn't mind.
The location is very convenient and new restaurant just opened, and looks like Granville street is a new street. I enjoyed the stay and also used local discount for some shopping.
If I have a chance, I would like to stay there again.
I had a really good time.

The Chateau Granville was a very nice hotel for the money. As soon as I checked in, the clerk upgraded my room before I could even comment (Why? I'm not sure, but who's going to complain about a free upgrade.). The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly.

After reading many reviews, we were nervous about the courtyard room we had chosen. But after checking in we were pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious and clean. As well, the bed was the most comfortable bed we have seen in a hotel in this price range. The only complaint with the room was that it did not have a mini fridge, but we knew that prior to booking the room. We were lucky enough to get a second floor room at the end of the building on the front side, thus the room had four windows (including the bathroom window, which was the largest bathroom window we've ever seen in a hotel).

The courtyard had a very comfortable atmosphere, similar to a townhouse neighborhood. As well, it was very well lit so there was no fear of walking back to the room at night, though the alley was not so well lit. But it was only about 30 meters from the secured parking garage to the courtyard gate, so it wasn't too much of a concern.

We were glad that we chose the courtyard over the main building, since although we stayed in a hotel, it did not have that type of feeling to it. The hotel in general was very well situated, as we were able to walk nearly anywhere in the downtown area with ease. It was also well located for driving to farther sights. We would definitely recommend the courtyard rooms to anyone and would stay there again in the future.

The real thing worth mentioning is the hotel bar, located on the 2nd floor and beautifully decorated. It's probably the classiest place for a quiet drink in the downtown core, kept secret to the general public but open for business to all. Providing an exquisite view of the protruding clusters of lit up condos and bustling bar stars trolling for action, it's kind of feels like your at the zoo observing the primates, only you have ample comfortable seating and you're sipping a vodka martini. The room is cozy and ritzy, but keeps the prices trim, and the bartender and servers are exceptionally friendly and seem to truly enjoy the slow moving relaxed atmosphere.

Right on the strip, it's mixed in with the movie theaters, art galleries, and other places suitable for a first date, which makes this casual hidden spot ideal for follow up conversation over fancy drinks.

I always feel strange reviewing hotels as a person who visited a guest. Partly because it makes me sound like a prostitute, but mostly because I can never know their full services. That said I'll do my best with Chateau Granville as I have with so many others before.

What this place really has going for it is its location. It is just a foot into the sleazier end of Granville but still really in the heart of the 'entertainment district' so if you're interested in wandering home from a bar, this is a great bet. It has some wonderful views from its top floor and, as others have mentioned, a very nice bar as well.

Otherwise, not much makes it stand out from an old Best Western hotel. The rooms are about the same and the amenities are about the same. I said old as well because it's honestly a stones throw from the newer Best Western Downtown which is closer to Davie st. If you're looking for a spic and span newer place because old hotels give you the heebies, you might want to try there instead.

So yes, if you want a bed, close to bars and restaurants on Granville for a pretty cheap price, this is a good place to head. You can do much better in Vancouver hotel-wise but the location/price ratio with the Chateau Granville is definitely one of the better you will find.

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the past ten years and have always found the rooms to be clean and well stocked. The service has been exceptional and the downtown location is great for business or pleasure. The hotel staff are union employees who take great pride in doing a good job.

We were very surprised when we checked into the Courtyard King room despite where the hotel was located. At first, we were not comfortable crossing the back alley to the Courtyard entrance. However, after awhile, we thought this was better than staying at the main building because of privacy of not going through the lobby each time.

Courtyard room was very spacious and felt like home. Thought it was too spacious. It was too bad that there was no elevator in Courtyard but the space beside the Courtyard building gave a very peaceful feeling.

Coming back from our side trip, we stayed at the large one bedroom suite facing the patio garden. It was very private and quiet.

Despite where the hotel is located, it was only a short walking distance to Yaletown and the False Creek seawall. Also, the local discount being offered by the hotel was very useful, especially the yoga class in Yaletown.

The underground parking space was tight between cars but after raising the concern to the hotel staff, we were told that the hotel was fully booked.

Overall, staying at the hotel was a very good value for the money and we were pretty happy about the rooms, both in the Courtyard and the main building. We would definitely stay at the hotel in the future.

I was in the courtyard, which is separated from the main hotel, had no proper window, but was appropriately priced. The road (Granville St) was undergoing construction, so I wasn't missing too much of a view. Service was OK.

I stayed here for a concert. We did not rent a car, so this hotel was in an ideal location to explore Vancouver. At arrival, we were booked into a one-bedroom suite with a balcony overlooking downtown Vancouver- at no extra charge! The view at night was astonishing, and the noise was at a minimum. The room was very clean and had all of the amenities. Yes, Chateau Granville is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver it is a diverse, lively, great city that has people of every kind. My boyfriend and I walked around at all hours of the night with no issues. I would recommend this hotel hands down for the average joe looking for a decent price and a fantastic jump-off point for exploring the city. Check out The Cambie Bar for a beer and some culture.

My wife and I stayed 31 nights at this hotel and found it perfect in every way. All staff went out of their way to do all in their power to make our stay pleasant at a very difficult time for us - my wife was having a kidney transplant at St. Paul`s hospital, just three blocks away. I can`t thank front-desk staff, concierge, restaurant and cleaning personnel enough for their kindnesses and warmth. Also, the room rate we received was carefully tailored to our resources. We are both VERY impressed with everything about the Chateau Granville.

I was impressed by everything at the Best Western Chateau Granville. The room was quiet, spacious and spotless and the staff were friendly and helpful. All in all the best hotel I have ever visited. Yes, the nightlife around there is ’colorful’ but that only added to the experience. I did not feel in the least unsafe.

Everything was okay in the hotel. I had booked a regular room, but it was going to be awhile before one was cleaned from the previous night so they upgraded me to a suite which was nice. Some people don’t like the location because it’s by the Granville Street night clubs . But it’s close to everything and it’s as safe as anywhere else in Vancouver.
