We stayed at the Ramada Limited for one night before our cruise. We had a very nice stay. The hotel is small and unimpressive from the outside, but the interior is very nicely decorated and very clean.

The room was a little bit small, but this an older hotel and we were very comfortable. The folks at the front desk were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. I really appreciate the help they gave us during our short stay!

The location is easy walking distance to the things we wanted to see and do in the area (eat, walk along Robson Street, Gastown, etc.). We did take a taxi to our cruise ship at Canada Place since hauling all of our bags the half mile or so would have been to much, but the taxi far was cheap (around $10 plus tip).

If you are looking for a big, modern, spacious hotel in a gleaming tourist district, this isn't the hotel for you. If you want a charming, clean, older hotel with a fantastic staff at a very reasonable price, this is a hotel I would recommend.

We have just spent two weeks at the Ramada Downtown hotel, which provided a great location, clean, comfortable room, large bathroom with lashings of hot water when required.
The staff were always helpful, friendly and there for you when required.
The building was full of character and just what we were looking for.
As previously mentioned, lots of local 'down and outs' wandering the locality, however once you got used to them and even talked to some of them, provided lots of local knowledge and stories!
Next door is Yaggers bar, which provided good food & drink from the co owners & their staff with good music (sometimes live!) and of course sports always on the screens.
Great value for your money!
We "will be back" to the hotel and vancouver!

We had stayed at the Ramada Downtown on a previous visit to Vancouver and decided to stay there the night before we left for an Alaskan cruise. The hotel was as we remembered from 2 years before, small rooms but comfortable. We had friends travelling with us on the cruise and they also stayed here on our recommendation. One of them was on her own so she shared our room which was a little cramped but it was only for one night. The breakfast, included in the price, was still great and the big advantage this time was that we could walk to Canada Place to board the ship. The only downside is the location which isn't bad but the seedy parts of Gastown are moving closer. If you turn right when you leave the hotel you will be fine. I would definitely stay here again

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Excellent location only 2 blocks from Gas Town and transport. Clean room with huge comfortable bed. We had requested a quiet room and ours was at the back of the building overlooking the wharf although there were railway lines in between but it was very quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free guest computer with internet access. It was exceptional value and breakfast was even thrown in. Would definitely stay there again
