I don't regularly stay at 3-star rated hotels and my friend and I loved it here. We got the top floor with 2 double beds. Rooms were very clean. Love the midcentury modern vibe. If you're not used to city noises and thin walls, bring ear plugs to sleep with. The Nespresso machine was a very nice touch. Steps from tons of cafes and close amenities. Free bikes (no ebikes however) and parking was a huge plus. Beautiful courtyard and garden with a seating area (didn't have time to enjoy but had a firepit). Staff let us store our luggage ahead of check-in. Appreciate the noon checkout as most places are 10 or 11am. Friend and I found the beds and sheets very comfortable. Great value for what we got! Would stay here again. The only downsides for me were: - Water pressure in the shower and inconsistent water temperature - Warm rooms; wouldn't stay here during the summer as the portable A/C units can be loud.

We had a wonderful stay at The Burrard! Perfect location with so many restaurants and pubs close by. The front desk staff were so friendly and helpful. Always smiling! Our room faced the lush courtyard. Stairs and elevator made coming and going a snap. The breakfast nook next door was a treat with amazing service. It was perfect for a pre-cruise stay; just a ten-minute rideshare to the port. We wished there were a restaurant and bar on site. Other than that, we loved it and hope to visit again.

Excellent staff and the service was very good. Close to amenities and all tourist locations. We were here for the World Cup and it was excellent place to stay. I would recommend a couple of things. Cutlery and ceiling fans as the rooms can be quite stuffy. Other than that it was excellent.

The Burrard has a funky, retro vibe that we actually enjoyed, and we knew going in that this was an older hotel that had been fixed up and marketed as a boutique property. The check-in staff were pleasant and welcoming, and the location is excellent. That said, the price felt outrageous, although Vancouver hotel prices were high across the board for the weekend we stayed. Unfortunately, the common areas could have been cleaner and definitely could have used a good vacuum. The biggest disappointment was the room. As soon as we walked in, there was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke, as though the room had spent decades as a smoking room. We asked if we could switch rooms, but the hotel was full. They offered us a 15% discount instead, which we appreciated, but it didn't really address the underlying issue. The room itself was okay but felt somewhat run down. The flooring appeared to be original, and there were some signs of the hotel's age. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, and the coffee shop in the lobby was excellent. The location is also hard to beat. Overall, The Burrard has some charm and personality, but at the price we paid, we expected a cleaner and more comfortable experience. It felt more like a $149-a-night hotel that was able to capitalize on a particularly busy Vancouver weekend. The smoke smell was the biggest letdown and really affected our stay.

The Burrard is a boutique hotel in the heart of Vancouver. The location is superb with a hop on hop off bus stop across the street and many great restaurants within walking distance. The courtyard is great and gives this place a unique vibe. We stayed in a room with a King and the bed was comfortable. The room is a bit cramped but serviceable for a few nights. The coffee maker in the room is several notches above those typically found in chain hotels. The room we had faced Burrard and it was noisy, but that's a city hotel. Bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The only drawback to the room is the bathroom. It has an adequate walkin shower but the sink is tiny with no counter space. The staff were friendly and very helpful with all our requests. Overall a good choice when visiting Vancouver for a few days. We would return without hesitation.

Great hotel! The vibes were nice, and the place was very central to every location in Downtown Vancouver, so walking 10-20 minutes in any direction brought you somewhere. The rooms were nice enough and above what I expect from a 3-star hotel. We had the AC on, so outside city noise didn't bother us, and we couldn't hear anything else from other rooms. There is parking that is fairly easy to use, though the spots do get tight once other cars are parked. But James in concierge was nice and helped us parked.

We had a great stay at the Burrard. The room was well appointed and comfortable. It was great to have complementary bottled water and Nespresso coffee daily. The nightly complementary crisps and non-alcoholic cocktails were a nice touch. The inner courtyard garden was lovely. The major plus was the completely bike hire - the hotel has a decent amount of good quality bikes which could be used for as long as we wanted; we used them to cycle to and around Stanley Park. The location of the hotel was also great, with public transport nearby and much of the city within walking distance. We'd definitely recommend for a stay in Vancouver.

This hotel isn't quite what I expected. I'd say it's more of a motel with the style of entering your room from outside. Could have done more research lol but the location and price were great! They even allowed us to check in early which I know isn't always available; but was really appreciated because we needed to store our bags. They do have a baggage storage room. They have free bike rentals including a lock and helmet! That's a game changer. There's a nice open air courtyard in the middle of the buildings on the 2nd floor with long long, seats, fireplace. Rooms are on the smaller side but they have a good sized fridge and desk. No dresser so no drawers if needed. Large closet though with a few shelves. Floors aren't carpeted. Bathroom is quite small, the sink has no counter attached so not a lot of room to store makeup, toothbrushes etc. Some paint chips in bathtub which gives the illusion of it being dirty but to be clear it's not. The room was extremely clean! Beds are comfy, pillows ok, the tv worked and there's air conditioning. It can be loud if you're a light sleeper. The people above us were banging around at 6:30am, definitely not sound proof above or underneath. Heard a few ambulances and fire trucks early morning. All in all good stay for a short trip (we only stayed a night).
