Century Plaza Hotel & Spa - Vancouver 49.28116, -123.12611

Given the location and room space, it's really a good deal. Before I checked in, I thought the hotel would be old. However, I found the lobby very stylish, the staff very nice and helpful, and the room clean and in good condition. I strongly recommend people to stay here.

The hotel was in a good location, but a little hard to find as there isn't much signage out front that catches your eye. No valet parking, but the garage is attached to the building making it easy to get to your car. The room was spacious but smelt smoking and the bed was VERY uncomfortable. It was a very small mattress on a box spring basically and the sheets would come un-tucked leaving you sleeping right no the mattress. Gross... For the price, it was decent, about a Motel, but I would probably pay more money for a more enjoyable experience.

I stayed at this hotel for the first time recently. The location was central to everything downtown & most 'touristy' places were within walking distance. Rooms were nice and big with large windows; beds were comfortable. Hotel staff was professional & helpful. Having a good comedy club at the hotel was a nice bonus. Parking is a little expensive downtown and the hotel does not have parking included (there is adjacent parking garage, but not discounted rates for hotel guests).

The room my family got was very spacious for the price. The microwave oven and refrigerator added to our comforts. The only problem was the hospital next door. Even though we were on the 24th floor, every night we were bothered by emergency vehicles' siren as they approached.

I was very impressed with the view. Was on the 28th floor and could see the city below, the lights were pretty at night. Having a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator, dishes and microwave was a really nice perk. The suite was spacious and the lobby modern and pretty. The location was in walking distance to many great restaurants and fun bars. I would definitely recommend it!

The hotel location was central for all of the city's attractions. Located on a busy street, but the neighborhood felt safe. Hotel check-in staff was not that helpful but the concierge was good.

I recently stayed at the Century-Plaza Hotel while in Vancouver for a conference. The hotel staff (at all hours of the day) were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the in-house Beyond Coffee shop and free wireless in the lobby. The lobby has been recently renovated and gives off the feel of a boutique hotel. The guest rooms have not been updated, but a clean and well appointed. I appreciate the extra space of the suite-style. Despite being located next to a hospital, I was never disturbed by street noise. The location is easily walkable to the Robson Street shopping district, Davie Street, and the clubs on Granville. Since the hotel is located on a major thorough-fare of the city, you can easily catch buses to other parts of town as well. I highly recommend the Century-Plaza. I only wish I had gotten a chance to check out their spa services!

This hotel is in excellent condition with a very good location. I was able to walk to pretty much anywhere that I needed to go. The room was very nice and larger than I expected. My only complaint is that it is right next door to a hospital, so you tend to hear the emergency vehicles' sirens at night.

Worked well for us. Have been there before. The toilet flush handle broke in the evening. The desk man came up and said he couldn't fix it as the tools were "locked up". We told him that was unacceptable--what are we supposed to do? Soon there was a knock on the door and the repair person who just happened to be at the comic club in the hotel came up. Said the desk man found him and asked him to come. Lucky.

My friend and I were visiting Vancouver BC for the very first time. I was very hesitant at first to book the Century Plaza Hotel based on the pricing per night. Most hotels from my city (San Francisco, CA) that are price this low are usually the dingy, low maintenance hotels. Nevertheless, I was on a budget and booked it. To my surprise, the hotel was outstanding! Lobby was nice and retro chic. Hotel room was pretty clean for a "boutique" hotel. The plus side to it was that it was big for it's size. The down side to it was that they really need to update the style to match that of the lobby. A tube TV?... retro but not up to standards. What I like most about this place was that it was central to everything! Robson St. is the best place to shop and it is only 2 blocks away from there. Actually, I never had to rent a car because it was close to EVERYTHING! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone on a budget visiting Vancouver. It exceeded my expectations for a low priced hotel.

As other reviews have noted, the hotel rooms are showing their age to some extent--curtain didn't pull closed real well, some paint scuffing, etc. However, having said that--the room included a stove, microwave, refrigerator and cooking utensils, which we always find convenient for a nice breakfast. The room was large and clean, with a nice bathroom, and with only 8 or nine rooms on each floor there was little noise from other guests. The location is incredibly convenient to shopping on Robson, and Davie, and a quick walk to anywhere in downtown Vancouver. Internet access was available at an extra charge, but was free in the lobby--which was great for getting done what we needed and people watching. The hotel is an excellent value considering the price, location and amenities.

The hotel lobby was good but that's where it ends. The room was spacious but cold and dingy and didn't have light. The bed sheet covers and the comforter looked like they were purchased from salvation army. The sheets were rough, flimsy and uncomfortable. The heater does not go up more than 30 degree Celsius and it was cold all night in the middle of October. To their credit the bath room was OK and had modern looking sink.

I had been in the lobby of this hotel before our stay. It is modern, bright, and looks like a place I would stay. WOW, the rooms are nothing like what the lobby shows. The rooms have not been updated. Curtains with holes, toilet seats that move around, doors that don't close are just some of the "atmosphere" items that we had. However, at the top of the list was the fact that there is no A/C in the rooms to speak of. In addition, the "central heat" had been turned on in the building. They did not manage to turn it off when the warm weather returned. We ended up suffering with temps around 80 the first night. I should have been worried when I saw a stand fan in the bedroom. Feels morelike a stay with family vs hotel. Service is not up to standard as well. We were told the reason we did not get the bed choice we wanted was because of last min. reservation. Nicer rooms available but not offered as an option?? Will not be back !

the first 5 min when me and my friend parked in the hotel parking and dropped the bags in the rooms - we received a call from reception that our cars have been broken in. there was not much support from the stuff, nor curtsey at all. I was very frustrated because we had a big day the next day. Anyhow it appeared that this is close to a rehab... :) So keep that in mind. it is a good location but you have to be very conscious about your belongs cause no one will help you!

Was very pleased with the hotel. Also liked the fact that it had some form of entertainment such as comedy club. The only down side was that the same comedy club act was back to back with the same program. It would have been nice if they changed the program with different jokes.

This was our 3rd stay at the Century Plaza and as always, the hotel was lovely and the hotel staff very friendly and helpful. I really like the new lobby remodel - very modern and trendy. The restaurant was nice and we enjoyed our breakfast although the server seemed like he was inexperienced. We were pleasantly surprised to have been upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite on the 19th floor since we had booked a regular room so we had a full kitchen, separate bedroom and living room. The rooms could use some updating as well but the view from the corner suite was beautiful! I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Good Location, Clean, Nice Lobby, but the room was okay. Very spacious. I would book here again.

It seemed that a lot of things were broken. Our phone would not work most of the time and the shower did not work well. The shower also kept flooding the bathroom since it was not working properly and the curtains were too short. Our friends in the room next door had to change rooms in the middle of the night since their couch bed would not pull out. The nicest thing about the hotel was the lobby.

Although the exterior design of the building is not new, the lobby space, cafe, restaurant, and room were quite clean and well designed. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in bathroom were all organic and came from spa in the hotel. The location was also good. You can walk to destination areas in downtown.

From the moment we arrived prior to check-in time, until the bellmen were loading our luggage into a special taxi for the wheelchair to take us to the train station, the service in this hotel was outstanding. The rooms are a little run down, mostly due to age, but everything else was absolutely fantastic. The location of the hotel was very convenient. We walked or took the double-decker bus every place we wanted to go.

The pros: The living area, set up like a small urban apartment, is wonderful. You get a small kitchen complete with stove, full-size fridge and sink overlooking an actual living room with a big-screen TV. The view was another asset. Cons: I've had a better night's sleep while camping. The cheap mattress was rock-hard, and the pillows were thinner than folded bath towels and probably less comfortable. A hotel in this price range should do much better; pillows and mattresses aren't that expensive and make a big difference. The hotel was also dustier than I would expect.

The floor view was beautiful nice view of downtown off the balcony. The things that i was not happy about was the room was very small with 2 full size beds cramped in them and also the heater didnt even work! And it was very annyoning that i had to keep calling for extra towels and washcloths. One of the housekeepers when asked to bring 2 sets of towels up he didnt even bring face towels and told me he is busy! What sucks is the building is directly next door to a hospital! Ha good luck sleeping with all the albumlance trucks!

The hotel was well situated within walking distance to many sites. Our room was quite large although furnishings needed sprucing.

People were very friendly and helpful.

Great location, adaquate accomodations, the front desk and concierge leave something to be desired. They don't know their city and its features. Misleading information about various venues...decided to trust our own instincts and ask locals about attractions and entertainment.

My sister and I stayed at the Century while we visited my daughter. The location was great with convenient transportation options. The staff was friendly and helpful. My favorite part of the hotel was the restaurant. The food was great, the waiter was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, the atmosphere was comfortable. We tried several items, but our favorites were the surf and turf (steak with a fabulous sauce and crab cake that melts in your mouth), and the creme brulee.

When you first arrive at the hotel, it is impressive--nice lobby, convenient restaurant, newly opened deli/cafe. After you left the lobby, the true nature of the hotel came through. The hotel is very dated. The rooms are okay, but old and tired looking. The water pressure on the shower was so strong that the floor got soaked every time, no matter how we tried to block the spray with the curtain. The hotel staff did not appear to really know the particulars about the transportation or the time it takes to get from one place to another. We were always told "it's a 15 or 20 minute walk" and, while we may be a little slower than some, we weren't 2 hours slower! We were sold a 2-day Big Bus Pass and told that we could use it all during the next two days and that we could get on, get off where we liked. That was a joke! The bus quit running in early evening and you could only get on or get off at pre-determined stops. The staff should have known the details if they were going to sell the tickets.

Smokers beware!! only 1 floor for smokers, but as you get out of lift, the smoke hits you!! We asked to be moved as it was so bad we were moved to a much sweeter smelling floor In fact we were upgraded to a 1 bed suite with a balcony so i could smoke on the balcony, scary tho as we were on 22nd floor Great views of city, sea,mountains Would use this hotel again reasonably priced with all you need, including indoor pool!

The hotel had a very reasonable price for it's location in downtown Vancouver. Very close to many restaurants and pubs, and in an overall safe area of Vancover. Staff was very polite and helpful in giving directions to the BC Ferries, and in arranging an early morning cab ride to the airport.

This was a really good hotel that we got a good rate. Plus, we got a mini kitchen that was unexpected and it was on the 14th floor with a wonderful view of the city. Very nice, overall.

We were in a double suite for our family and it was perfect. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I didn't expect that for the price that we were paying. Also, the location is money. We were four blocks from Granville street and about eight from Yaletown and three from downtown shopping center. I would definitely stay here the next time I come to Vancouver.

Hotel lobby and counter looked renovated but not the rooms. Our room looked old, out-dated, the beds were unconfortable and the toilet was leaking water. We had to ask for a different room and they charged us to update for a better room because of the toilet leaking. Would never stay again.

My husband, son and I had a very comfortable stay over 3 nights. We walked everywhere! A great location, great neighborhoods and room was very clean, beds were wonderful, quiet room even though we faced the street and there is a small hospital next door. Highly recommend. We'd stay here again.

I got a very nice room on the 29th floor with breath-taking view of the Bay. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the service was impeccable. If I had to be picky, I would say the furniture was a bit old, but overall the hotel was great. They did not serve breakfast, but they provided with coffee and tea maker, so I could give a good start kick to my mornings. Jus a caveat: what they call wireless internet service is actually a LAN connection.

Rooms were decent sized, average cleanliness, no personality, costly - pick a hotel closer to Robson/Burrard for more shopping, ocean views, etc.

I have traveled throughout the Far East and United States and this Hotel was at the top of the list for service, cleanliness and hospitality. I will definitely recommend to all my friends.

Spacious room-great adjoining restaurant. Auto parking was an additional $15 per night.

With the reduced rate via the web on our mini suite (queen bedroom & a pullout couch for our two kids)... I thought it was a great place to stay, it had a decent view from the balcony, was relatively close to Vancouver's major attractions (walking or using a cab), had a grocery store 1 block away and the staff went out of their way to help in any way possible. The only down side was the single wall mounted a/c unit in the living room only (we had unusually warm & sunny weather) made the bedroom a lil' hot @ night, but the room came w/ a large oscillating fan.
