Location, location, location. Topped off by very affordable rates and choice of room options. I stayed in a double room with private bathroom. Parking was included which was a bonus. Staff wa very friendly and helpful.
The only thing I wish was different was their policy for WiFi, $6/day but only for 1 computer which created a problem with 2 of us in a double room.
Overall, clean, spacious accommodations with a great view, central location at an unbelievable price. Would stay here again any day. -

Clean, tiny, great location, awkward, outdated, inexpensive, secure.
These are the words I would describe the YWCA Hotel with. Our stay was short and sweet with no problem parking and walking every where we wanted to go.
Rooms are awkward and lean heavily towards youth hostel type accommodations for better or worse. Our room shared a bathroom with the room next door and involved a red button panic room locking device along with sturdy "privacy" deadbolt. -

This was the best budget hotel experience I've had in Vancouver so far. There are absolutely no frills to be found here, but it's very cheap, very clean, and very conveniently located (well, unless you want to spend all night clubbin' and be able to stumble back across the street to your seedy Granville St. hotel).
The staff was really friendly and helpful, and there was secured garage parking, which was a big plus (and we're not talking "secure" like the Ramada Inn, yeesh). Our room was really basic, but it had everything we needed, was clean, and also cost like $50 a night.
Things you need to know: there is no continental breakfast, and you won't find any tiny shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathrooms. This is also probably the first hotel where they had actual keys instead of key cards, and the key is attached to a rather clunky keychain that you probably don't want to carry around with you. No problem, check it in with the front desk while you're out. If you don't find any of these things terribly inconvenient (and I don't), you won't find a better deal. -

This is so close to my tiny apartment, that a group of friends who traveled up stayed here. The location was how they found it, but the price made it a deal. There room was under $100. 3 people stayed in there- it had a double and two twins.
There's a lot of options here- do you want a private shower/washroom, semi-private, or are you fine with the hall washroom. My friends opted for the semi-private. When I visited their room, they explained how it worked. It seemed nice and legit. I suppose you might not want to leave stuff around the sink though- since others will be in there too. (Hopefully no one would use your toothbrush..but you never know!)
In the lobby they have some computers hooked up with internet- you have to pay for it, but it's cheap and convenient. Also a small coffee shop is attached to the lobby too.
Quite a good deal. -

Was supposed to go backpacking, lost my directions & ended up here for a night. The staff was super friendly and quite knowledgeable about the city. To be honest, I was expecting much lower quality of accommodation but it was actually really nice.
Drawback was toilet/shower was down the hall but for around $60CAD (price for a suite w/full bed w/ student discount.. hell yeah!) it wasn't bad at all. I just took a 'korean-style' modified bath in the sink.
It was safe and very quiet. Check out time was at 11am which I nearly missed.
Can't beat the location, super close to SkyTrain stations, and the most beautiful public library I have ever seen in my life. Oh and I think it's close to a sports stadium too. Yaletown was about a 5 min. walk for me, but I walk pretty fast. -

I had a very pleasant experience. Great location-- It's in front of BC Place, a few blocks away from the shopping district on Robson Street, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Central Library, the Stadium Skytrain station, and probably a good 15 minutes walk from Yaletown.
The staff members at front desk are tremendously helpful and friendly. There is a small TV and a phone in my room. I opted for the semi-private, meaning I had to share the bathroom. There is, however, a sink, mirror, and hair dryer in my room (not shared). It isn't a big room but it's comfortable. The only thing I don't like about is the pillow.
The guys next door were loud in the evening but the hotel encourages people to stay quiet after 11pm and they really did keep quiet later on.
Wireless internet access is $6 every 24 hours. They also have a weekly rate that is around $24.
I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced, safe, clean, friendly, and accessible hotel in downtown Vancouver. It costs slightly more than staying at the HI or Global Village but it's well worth it.
