Our stay at the Yaletown loft was not worth the price. We flew in from Australia and were really disappointed. We stayed five loud, uncomfortable nights and spent all day away from the accommodation exploring Vancouver (an amazing city!) Anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Vancouver will be underwhelmed by the loft and we don’t recommend it. Pay a little extra and stay at the Fairmont Hotel. Cons of the loft:
- Large neon light just outside the window is blinding all night because blind missing from window
- Constant loud Garbage trucks in alley all night
- Constant loud bird noise all night
- No air con
- Really hard to get into a good sleep pattern and lose the jet lag
- Tv doesn’t work
- Kettle doesn’t work
- Lounge is dirty and uncomfortable
- Ran out of toilet paper
- No laundry detergent
- Bed and pillows uncomfortable and saggy
- Have to collect/drop off keys from 7/11 several blocks away
- No iron
- Furniture, fixtures all in shabby condition
Good things about the loft:
- Location is excellent, however the whole of Vancouver is totally walkable and you could stay anywhere in the central area and it would be fine
- Wifi is good
- Hairdryer
- Soap and shampoo in bathroom
- Quite clean
