Great old hotel and have stayed here on several occasions. It is charming. Perhaps lacking some conveniences. And perhaps a little dated.

I love Granville isalnd Hotel. It is a safe place to stay right on the water and the surrounding shopping experience is a unique and very charming experience. There is a very good restarant on the property which sits right on the water. There are others as well to safely stroll to. I always love Sandbar for crab with drawn butter and live music that is gentle on the ears. The Island has a FABULOUS and bussling market with many food kiosks and several artisan stores surrounding. I have been staying here for years whenever I come to Vancouver and I always try to upgrade myself to the rooms facing the marina. The staff are are all fabulous and highly professional. They are very accomodating and will even keep your bags if you want to spend some time on the island after checkout. Uber, cabs AND a sea shuttle can take you everywhere else but there is hotel parking if needed. I suggest 2-3 days to take in the whole experience and some extra room in your suitcase to take away it's treasures.

The staff were absolute gems. The restaurant had great views and the food was a good value. Housekeeping brought us chocolates - their scheme worked because we'll be back. Next time we'll stay in a room that faces the water. If you're thinking of this hotel and you don't need modern top tier luxury but rather a clean and quaint room in a spectacular location? This is your hotel.
