Top British Columbia Hotel Reviews

The Burrard

The Burrard

8/10 Good
"Cons: Noisy from thin walls and courtyard. Portable AC unit in room is bulky, noisy and inefficient. Bathroom has a metal box attached to wall near toilet at exact spot to bash your elbow every time you use it. Why not just have a normal toilet paper roll in a better spot? Pros: Great location, included cruiser bike rental, good pub next door."
