Kingston Hotel

“Great value beautiful art deco hotel”

Best value in downtown Vancouver. Beautiful art deco hotel with very helpful considerate staff. The room was on the small side but very comfortable and amenities were exactly what you’d want - full bathroom and places to store clothing.

“Conference comfort, convenience, and charm”

In Vancouver for a conference, I didn't want to pay or stay at a big corporate hotel. I booked a room with bath, and even so it was reasonably priced. Scrupulously clean, traditional decor, supportive bed, warm radiators but also an AC/heat unit. Robe and slippers, toiletries, strong Wifi, lighting… more

In Vancouver for a conference, I didn't want to pay or stay at a big corporate hotel. I booked a room with bath, and even so it was reasonably priced. Scrupulously clean, traditional decor, supportive bed, warm radiators but also an AC/heat unit. Robe and slippers, toiletries, strong Wifi, lighting options for work or sleep. Didn't have to buy expensive breakfast, since there was coffee in the lobby in the mornings, and both an IGA and H-Mart with Monet bakery steps away. The neighborhood has fancy places such as Glowbal (too rich for me), but within the same block you also find Japa-Dog and Jinya Ramen Bar, so no trouble dining on a budget. The hotel restaurant had a 15% discount for guests, and seemed reasonably popular. Across the street Medina drew a long line for Sunday brunch. Location was brilliant--less than five minutes to the Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain stop, which is 25 minutes from the airport. My conference was at the Convention Centre, a 20 minute walk up a slight hill, perfect for clearing the cobwebs in the morning. I walked back at nearly midnight safely (it is a city, so avoid empty streets late at night). But there's plenty of posh streets to come by. The hotel staff kept close watch on the door after hours when it's locked for safety. They kept my luggage until evening for me on the last day. I didn't try the sauna or the laundry room, but this hotel checks all the boxes for comfort, convenience, and charm, while keeping your other expenses down.

Really nice hotel right in the heart of Vancouver, 5 minutes from Vancouver City Center Skytrain. After reading the reviews I was grateful to find such a nice cosy hotel at a great price. I took the train in from YVR and walked the short walk to Richards Street. On arrival I was offered an upgrade option which I took with a private bathroom. Room 324 was quiet and cosy and really comfortable. After a day of snowshoeing up at Cypress a perfect place to come back to with a bathtub. Complimentary decent coffee offered from 7 in the comfortable lobby area. All in all an excellent stay, the staff are really nice too. I actually really like the way the Kingston Hotel endorses other good spots restaurants etc in the area on their website. A business looking after other businesses.

“Economical Stay, Great Location”

The room was small but clean, quiet and more than adequate. There was a sink in the room with bathroom with showers a very short walk down the hall. I never had to wait to use the facilities. The internet was strong. The people at the desk were friendly and generally helpful. The location was… more

The room was small but clean, quiet and more than adequate. There was a sink in the room with bathroom with showers a very short walk down the hall. I never had to wait to use the facilities. The internet was strong. The people at the desk were friendly and generally helpful. The location was very good, on Richards Street right in the middle of downtown Vancouver. It's a short walk to Granville Island, the football stadium and Canada Place. I had my bike with me and was able to keep it secured in the luggage in the lobby. There is a dedicated bi-directional bike lane on Richards St. right in front of the hotel.
