Very friendly staff and one of the cleanest room I stayed in. Very dated rooms and a bit noisy from parkade door opening underneath. Single old style key to share between multiple guess is problematic

The long-time staff at the English Bay Hotel are extremely friendly and accommodating. We could not ask for better service. The location and the hotel's 1970's vibe make any stay very enjoyable. Thank you English Bay Hotel.

Lots of restaurants and shopping near by. Room had a kitchen, wich was nice. Furnishings seemed to be hobbled together from various trifting visits and flea markets, functional but well worn. Lino floors were sticky and the room smelled strongly of pinesol, but not in a good way. The staff was super kind and helpful. We only stayed one night, I'm not sure if we would want to stay more than that.

Very convenient for people want to visit the area around Stanley Park. Lot of food options in the area. It's right across the street from English bay. Onsite parking was a bit tricky. There's no elevator to the parking. The room was equipped with all the basic kitchen accessories. Staff was kind enough to accept Amazon packages which I ordered to this address.

Location was amazing and was easynto get to. Just steps away from the beach and the sea wall. Ferry for False Creek area was a 20min walk away. Has secure underground parking for smaller vehicles for less than street parking. Hotel is older and shows its age. Price reflects this because location was amazing. Bed, linens, bathroom, towels and kitchen were very clean. Bed was comfortable to sleep in. AC worked well and fans also provided. Our room faced the condos behind the hotel so had no street noise. Would stay here again.

Terrible

Building is very old, felt dingy overall. Hallways smelt like chemicals, and the lighting was really weird, made it feel like a liminal space. The room was sweltering for some reason even though it wasn't very hot outside, and the AC (which was really loud and barely worked) was right beside one of the beds, with the other bed being on the other side of the room, meaning one person roasted while the other person froze. Don't be fooled by the "cheap" rate, there's a reason for it.

Biking around

This hotel is within walking distance of food, the bike path to Stanley Park and entertainment. We appreciated the extra fans placed in the room for the hot outside temperatures.

Cecil of Canada

With bars on the windows, it looks very sketchy from the outside. Once inside you get the feeling of an hourly motel. As we get to the elevator and to the room, all I’m thing about is the Cecil motel. Dirty carpets everything is very outdated and mismatched. We were there for a large conference weekend, so everything else was booked, or 1000. a night. We made it there for 3 nights spending a little time in the room as possible…..only drinking bottled water. Food,Safeway,7/11,Starbucks, and the beach is all within walking distance. Would I stay there again? No.
