Amazing experience staying at the Block House. The communication with the host was prompted and they checked in a few times within our 3 day stay. The building was clean and our room was perfect. The building was secure because it was located in not the best area.

Property is in Gastown which has plenty of food and drink options. The property itself is recently renovated and incredibly clean. The check in process was very straightforward and the room was to a high standard with an incredibly comfy bed! The staff were friendly and super helpful when we needed to reach out with some questions. They very extremely accommodating when it came to looking after our luggage before our flight home. Highly recommend!

Easy access into room, door to street and door to gated parking lot. Room was beautiful. Host was super kind with allowing me to park before and after my reservation when I was getting my tattoo done! Alleviated a huge stressor!!!! Walkable to many cute coffee shops and restaurants! No need for a vehicle when you are there. I'll be back again!

It’s a boutique hotel, it was nice, its clean -and walking distance to restaurants however I feel like I am in the prison because of fully gated apartment/hotel but I get it It’s for safety since there is a lot of homeless roaming outside. Overall 3-4/5. Thank you.

For a nice clean room with a beautiful walk through Gastown on way to Canada Place ... You can't beat Block House. Bare bones room, no clock, no phone but that's the charm. The exposed materials (brick, wood, steel, pipes) are also super charming and a big warm bed. Noise was minimal but I used ear plugs just in case. I walked through the neighbourhood several times at various hours, I never felt unsafe.

The space was perfect for one person. Clean and comfortable with windows facing the street which allowed good light. The entrance and door are keyless so no worrying about losing a key. There was also laundry available on site. It is in Gastown so there are plenty of places to eat and shop. There is parking on site if needed but is also a 10 minute walk to the Waterfront Station and the buses are a block away so transportation is near. One caveat, there was no sound proofing so I could hear both my neighbors. They did abide by quiet times so it wasn't an issue unless you like to sleep in. I would book here again when in town.

There is no front desk here. Everything is done voice-mail. It was very incomplete not having a front desk or a live person to help guests. The area is iffy, gone way and you’re in Gastown, go the other way you are in skid row. We came back one night and there was a man sleeping in the doorway. Room was basic and loud.
