Buchan Hotel

My parents stayed here while they were visiting. The location was perfect for our needs. The room was clean, the towels were plush. There’s a huge common room and fresh coffee all the time. The room was cozy, but had everything that they needed. My parents said they would totally re-book the next time they visit.

The Buchan is a 2 star hotel, with everything that implies. The building is old and it shows, the rooms are basic bed and ensuite deals, the room was also not very big, and the bed was hard. I actually like hard beds anyway, but it's worth knowing about. Having said all that, the room was very clean, it had a big window that let a lot of light in, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a common room with free tea and coffee, and lots of books. No TV or radio though, oddly enough. It's also in a great location, within walking distance of a lot of restaurants, but no attractions/landmarks. On the other hand, it's close to a main road so you can easily catch the bus to anywhere you want. It also smells really good on the street outside the hotel; this is due to the flower bushes along the street. If you've got pollen allergies or hay-fever, it's worth keeping this in mind. I think I would stay here again, but purely as a place to sleep, shower and change. Come with no expectations at all. It's not bad, just basic.

Room is perfect! Comfy bed lots of space and very clean but the shared bathroom was disappointing. Almost always full and wasn't always cleaned right after the last person used it shower. However if you are flexible and easy going with a limited budget ie private hostel room with shared bathroom this place is great! Nice location near Korean food and Stanley park ...and sink in the room so you can wash face and brush teeth in room

Great place to stay and it’s value is high. U wont expect 4 seasons but all I can say is the staff working here make this hotel awesome! I have met a several of them & all are very nice and helpful. It is not big so you would not expect much entertainment but they got coffee and hot water in the lobby and I found it nice. They are quite clean and housekeeping will do it everyday but all I suggest is they can have maintenance for this hotel cuz the toilet window is broken and the carpet has dust on it.

Great customer service, friendly staff and clean rooms. For the price it’s great and near the city. We stayed in the shared bathroom option and it turned out to be a lot better then we thought. We never had to wait and they kept them clean. **Keep in mind if you rent a car parking on the street is possible but it can be hard to get a spot. The parking is only two hours during the day and free 9pm-9am. That works fine for us though. The hotel offers $10 day parking but ask quickly or ahead because they only have so many spots!!

What an amazing collection of staff at The Buchan - from the front desk staff to the cleaning staff. Located in the best neighbourhood I lived in YVR 28years, and it was the best value for my $. I discovered them using a 3rd party booking site, however, called them directly and they matched the booking app price. I stayed a week. I had booked a room with a private bathroom and it was big, clean, and had great linen. They even lent me an umbrella for one of the expected rainy day. I will definitively stay there again. The building is an old apartment building from the 1920s - they are slowly fixing it up. The only possible negative was that there was construction on the street which has nothing to do with The Buchan

Discovered this place on a short notice trip to Vancouver and was pleasantly surprised! It’s located right at the edge of Stanley Park and just blocks away from English bay beach, literally the prime location and 10 minutes to central downtown. Definitely my go-to place.The staff are lovely, the prices are unbeatable for the location and the rooms are simple and clean. 10/10 for value

This is a great spot to stay for a night or two, close to Robson street with easy access to downtown Vancouver or Stanley Park. Price is great for a stay in one of the most expensive cities. Room was clean and nice, comfortable and quaint. Shared washroom and shower but for the price its completely worth it. Staff is friendly, approachable and helpful. This will be my go to place when staying in Vancouver and recommend it to anyone whose not looking for a five star hotel.

Me and a couple of friends stayed here for only one night and will never come back. The room was way to over priced for what you get and on top of that if you have a vehicle they charge you $20 plus tax to use there assigned parking spots! The room was a total disaster! There was strips of plaster and paint peeling from the walls and ceiling, the closest doors were broken, the bathroom was cramped and had black mold in every corner, and the room was a thousand degrees inside and the hotel provided the room with two broken fans! The only good thing I have to say about this hotel is that hotel staff were nice and friendly.

Really great cute clean little place!Amazing location steps from Denman street! Lots of restaurants and walking distance to the beach! Only downfall is there is limited parking available but we managed to find free street parking during our stay! Also room did not have air conditioning! I would stay here again for sure!Rooms: 3/5
