The hotel

Wonderfully located in the entertainment district of Vancouver, this is a comfortable, modern hotel offering a home-from-home base from which to explore the city. All attractions are within walking distance, including some great shops, bars and restaurants. After a busy day, it’s lovely to relax in the hotel’s atrium pool, or head to the fitness centre instead complete with Jacuzzi for reclining in. Sandman Hotel Vancouver City Centre is also home to the Shark Club Bar & Grill, one of the city’s hottest nightspots with big-screen TVs (30 of them at the last count!), a dance floor and an open-concept kitchen. A great place to kickback with a cocktail or a craft beer, feast on favourite dishes too, such as ribs and wings, whilst getting in the mood for a lively night out. Moxie’s Grill & Bar, also on-site, is another cool hang-out for dinner and cocktails.

Let me just start off this review by saying I never wanted to write this, but I’ve had enough. Firstly, shout out to Daniel and the girl who checked me in. Although they were very very kind and accommodating, nothing could make up for the lack of cleanliness throughout the hotels. Especially considering we are in the middle of a pandemic.

Let me just start off this review by saying I never wanted to write this, but I’ve had enough. Firstly, shout out to Daniel and the girl who checked me in. Although they were very very kind and accommodating, nothing could make up for the lack of cleanliness throughout the hotels. Especially considering we are in the middle of a pandemic. I am appalled at the hygienic standards of this hotel. Upon first entering the room one of the beds looked like the sheets weren’t fresh. Stain after stain, there was even dried up food/ sauce on one of the sheets (photos attached) and stains all over the pillow cases on the other bed. The window cells were covered in mould, dead bugs, and dust. The pool looked like it had not been properly cleaned in years and the beds/ pillows are extremely uncomfortable. These are just a few of the main casualties that were currently experiencing during our current stay. I am very upset considering I have to stay here for another 2 days. I’d love to get my money back and go to another hotel, but unfortunately upon check in, my card was charged $400 for the security hold that normally takes forever to get back, leaving me with little room to go to another hotel and have them put another security deposit on my card. In other words I’m royally f***** and stuck here unless they can provide me other options. Read less

We were there for this Christmas with my 12 month old daughter and my husband. It was really a very special visit because it was our anniversary too on the Christmas. Firstly, the room we checked had dust and stains in the bathroom. We requested for a room change and got into a different suite room.Everything was good but its that the heater on the other room didn't work at all. It was really cold on the other room which was really frustrating. But we just did not want to change it anymore because the other room's heater inside the suite was working good.Gentleman Paul was really nice and helpful with their fantastic customer service. Patricia and Mr Andrew was also very helpful during the stay. That being said, we had a really bad experience in the time of checkout. The lady Guest Service Agent working in the afternoon on the 26th was not the polite person nor even with good gestures literally nothing. She handed the receipt in a very unprofessional manner. Did not even ask about our stay or anything. My husband asked for the lucky stamp card and she immediately refused which was not right. We had to confirm with the reservation supervisor later and got to know that we are eligible for that. Experiencing her embarrassing behavior we just left. Read less
