This place is much better value than anywhere else I found in Vancouver. It is basic, but good and clean. We stayed in 3 different rooms - no problems in the private and the semi-private bathrooms. The 'hall bathroom' had a plastic wrapped very noisy bed. The location was decent, walking distance to everything relevant. Not too dodgy area (there... more

We enjoyed our stay at the YWCA. We had a room with private bath, and it was cheaper than the other hotels I looked at, especially when I was able to use the student discount. Our room was up on one of higher floors and it was very quiet. The front desk staff is courteous and knowledgeable. The hotel is... more

Stayed here based on the reviews. It was easy to find, we caught the bus from the airport to Vancouver and walked to the YWCA. Were accosted for money en-route, but generally felt quite safe. Check-in was easy and security was good. The room was quite small and the bed uncomfortable, but it was clean and communal facilities looked good.... more

We stayed here while dropping our son off for his 1st year at UBC. Because we brought a van-load of his stuff, having low cost parking in a downtown hotel with in/out privileges was a real bonus. We had a lot of errands to run to get him settled, but we also wanted to do the touristy things in town... more

We arrived at this hotel at 10.00am after an overnight flight. And much to our shock we were able to go into our room, which was totally brilliant. The rooms were very nice, quite big and clean. There are communal kitchens and a laundry. The staff were helpful and were able to give advice. Security at the hotel was good,... more

I have read the other reviews of this hotel and many are accurate, however there is one thing to look out for. Because of it's modest cost, the YWCA attracts many tours especially school sports clubs (rugby, football, hockey etc). If you happen to be on a floor with 20 young people, many of whom are going away from home... more

Only stayed one night, in a room with a shared bathroom but was very impressed. Much better than most hostels and a great price. Shared bathrooms were clean and I never had to wait as I think lots of rooms have their own bathrooms... ours had a sink which was handy. The room was large - plenty of room for... more

We stayed at the YWCA 5 nights in mid-July. After travelling through the rockies and staying in a few Hostels this Hotel was a real gem. We had a private room with private bathroom an television. It was small but cosy, but really enough place for the both of us and our 4 luggages :). The kitchen an the floor... more

My partner and I stayed here twice as we commuted through Vancouver. We stayed in a room with a private bathroom both times. I'm sure you've stayed at places that demand a high price tag, but are completely impractical for the traveller. You may be surrounded by great views or furnishings but all these nice extras are superfluous to your... more
