The Listel Hotel

Had a great experience, and it was an overall gorgeous hotel — there’s lovely and unique artwork in each of the rooms. The location is also prime; there’s plenty of great food options (especially Asian food!) around, with a boba place just down the street.

This hotel is fantastic with a great location and wonderful customer service. There is valet parking available overnight, and you won’t really need a car since everything is in walking distance. Most of the restaurants and stores were a couple blocks away so the downtown aspect of the city was easy to explore. The staff is super friendly and gives great directions. They also helped with copying papers and answering any questions. The art throughout the hotel is beautiful. The rooms are pretty nice with extremely comfortable beds. The bathroom has the shampoo conditioner and body wash built in instead of having travel size bottles. This can be attributed to their commitment to environmental friendliness. The hotel gave us cookies in our car as we left and it was a great experience.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel last Saturday after our cruise ended in Vancouver. This hotel is fantastic! They staff were so nice and helpful — they let us check in early and gave great restaurant recommendations. The rooms are so nice and clean — and the ladies cleaning the rooms were very helpful. The free Wifi was great — the morning french press coffee service was such a nice touch. And I really loved the cold filtered water (sparkling or regular)! The hotel is walking distance to Stanley Park — there is a Starbuck’s directly across the street — and fabulous shopping on this street as well. I love that the hotel displays art from local artists too. I couldn’t be happier and I will be staying here again. I highly recommend!

Came here for the BC PSCA Conference. We had about 50 people seated in the Impressionist Gallery, and everything was easily accessible. The staff are wonderful and their meeting rooms and overall interior design is beyond beautiful. They’re connected to Forage next door, so all the food was catered by them. I’m pretty sure I died a number of times from happiness because everything tasted so well.
We ended up booking a hospitality room from them on top of the meeting room, and that was comfortable and roomy for about 20+ people or so. From what I heard while dialoguing with other conference attendees, the hotel rooms were very comfortable and they all really enjoyed their stay.
Parking is valet and $ 4/​hour, flat rate of $ 14/​day until 6pm, $ 10/​evening added on after that. It’s about an eleven minute walk away from Burrard Skytrain station, so if you’re here for a conference, I’d recommend taking transit.

I had a really good stay at The Listel. This four star hotel was around $ 160(CAN) a night, a fair price when taking the location into consideration.
Check-​in was very smooth and fast, as we had paid online. We were informed that there would be complementary wine served from 5pm-​6pm. What a great surprise! We stayed in a standard room and it was pretty spacious. A clean room with tasteful art on the walls really added to the ambience. Another great surprise was that we had a mini fridge! (as it was not listed on the room description/​features) I had no idea about how much this hotel valued environmental awareness. We had these really cute bins for organics and recycling underneath one of the counters, and I believe the toilet paper was made out of eco-​friendly material. This was such a plus in my books. One thing I did notice is that it took quite a while to get hot water from the sink running. I also read about free cookies at check-​out but we never received any. I suppose I will live though!
Overall, the Listel is a nice hotel. You are in the heart of downtown, minutes away from great shops, sites, and restaurants. It may not be the trendiest or newest place to stay, but it definitely makes up for it in its small perks and location.

Great experience at this little gem! Super friendly staff, comfortable rooms, free wi-​fi and happy hour, reasonably priced and great location. They are a green hotel, with charming perks like cookies at check-​out and complimentary french press coffee delivered to your room upon request! I enjoyed the art throughout and the stay was seamless. Will stay here again!

Great place to stay! great service! but what’s a good hotel with horrible wifi… /:

It’s a lovely space.
My favorite perk, complimentary French pressed coffee delivered to your door every morning at your desired time. I spent a whopping 14 nights at this hotel and it the coffee and the staff really eased the homesick feels we attain when being away for so long. The hotel is very artsy, gallery floors featuring art in every room.
The hotel prides itself on being very «green» which is just fantastic. Containers for recycling and organic material in every room. The bathroom amenities are not as up to date as any other hotels so if «luxury» is your style you might find this place less suitable for your standards. I found everything charming with a bit of age.
My biggest complaint about the hotel: the charge to use the microwave — $ 10.50/day. After eating out non stop I wanted to reheat some leftovers. It was unnecessary.
But! Free wine everyday from 5 – 6 in the lobby.

It’s a very charming hotel. A bit old though. It is located in the heart of everything. A very green hotel (i.e., recycable bins inside to room). They have free wine tasting during the evening. You also get complimentary cookies after your stay. They leave them in your car. The parking is about $ 40 and valet only. I’ve always stayed here about 5 times but seems like the last time I’ve stayed has not been a good one. I booked 2 rooms for a 2 queen or one king but they tried to give me 1 queen bed in each room. I instead got a king after asking if they have any left which they had. I call them from one of the rooms and ask if they have roll on beds they call me back and tell me they don’t and that they have to charge me extra since there’s 3 people in the room when occupancy stated 4 people was allowed when I booked the rooms. So no extra bed and I get charged an extra $ 25 If I was told about this during check in I would not have a problem but they tell me over a phone while a request was not fulfilled leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

Nice art theme throughout the hotel. The bed was comfortably firm and the pillows nice. The best part was the friendly wonderful staff. They upgraded our room and we had a great view of the water. We ended up on the top floor with a patio and it was so nice! I would stay here again. Oh also the free wine tasting at 5 in the lobby was good.

Kind of pricey for not the biggest room — does *not have a fridge, so very basic accommodations. But friendly staff and nice amenities — gave us a glass of wine to taste when we arrived and free drink coupons. Also free wifi. More stars if it was more affordable.

I came here for one reason and one reason only. Rumors that they had the best scones in the city. It’s a hidden Vancouver secret that only some foodie die hards know, nothing that is published. I came here to have some tea and scones and everything that certain foodies were saying was true… these are the best damn scones every. Nicely crunchy with a nice sugar coating on the inside, very good texture on the inside with some orange zest.

Not bad for the price. Not sure how it was rated 4 stars. I travel a lot and not up to par with most of the 4 star hotels I have been to. Our room looked nothing like the pictures.

This is a 3 star hotel — but for the price it deserves 4 stars. The lobby has been updated but the rooms are in need of a makeover. The wifi was just ok. It is conveniently located — an easy walk to many places. It’s a great deal overall — would stay here again.

For $ 100 USD per night in the heart of Vancouver on Robson Street — 4 stars. The hotel is about value and location — it is located close to the shopping on Robson, walking distance to Stanley Park, the Vancouver Art Museum and other local attractions. The hotel is furnished in a contemporary style, but the facility is old and the age is showing. The pressure head on the shower was questionable, but what you would expect from an older building. The hotel is eco-​friendly a bonus. The staff was friendly. 4 stars.

My friend and I stayed here over New Year’s 2015. It was perfect.
Check in was a breeze and the cost for 3 nights here was only around $ 100 USD a night.
The room was clean, had a large HD tv, comfortable beds and the FREE WIFI was excellent. Our Apple and Android products worked great the entire stay.
The location is also perfect. Robson Street has a ton of stuff to do. There are all kinds of places to eat or drink in every direction. From your typical Tim Horton’s, to Japanese, to Korean BBQ, and Italian, you’ll find it just steps from your room.
They also held our bags on our last day here after checkout so we could do some last minute exploring before we had to leave town.
Another interesting aspect is the art in the halls and rooms. It is a boutique hotel, so it has a slightly different feel compared to a box hotel like a Hilton or Westin.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This hotel has always had a great location, and super friendly staff. The restaurant downstairs is better now, but so noisy. Great food choices within walking distance, as is the light rail from YVY. And the rooms are quite large, though the showers need an upgrade. I would also recommend moving the desk away from the front of the TV. Otherwise, all is good here, as always!

3.5 stars. Decent hotel in superb downtown Vancouver location; close to shops, restaraunts, transportation, and attractions. Consistnetly one of the lower-​priced hotels in the area. Front desk is friendly and generally helpful.
Notable:
— The lobby is modern but the rooms are Holiday Inn circa 1995, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but may catch you by surprise.
— The bed and/​or pillow was really uncomfortable. I had a neck cramp for a week after my first night there.
— Tub had a draining issue the first night.
— WiFi is incredibly slow. Front desk transferred me over to their IT guy who stated that Apple products may experience connectivity issues. After ten minutes on the phone with him, a power-​off and wait 15 minutes to turn back on, I had OK connection on my phone but not my tablet. I gave up and went to Blenz down the street (free wifi with purchase — ask for code).
— Gym was a pleasant surprise. Sufficient equipment, water cooler, and restrooms. They even had a spin bike.
So, for the price you pay, you get a pretty good deal. But if you are looking for a luxury experience, think about spending some more $ per night elsewhere.

Decent value, and great location, but I expected more out of this place. Everything seemed a tad… laid back?
The rooms were okay, neat bay window seats and décor… but they weren’t the cleanest. They were tidy, and cleaned, but the staff could put in a little extra effort. Maybe we are a bit picky but there was dust and grime in all the little nooks and crannies… I think if you choose to have ornate artwork and bathroom hardware you should also choose to dust them?
The front staff could have been a bit more professional too; they all seemed a bit rookie. And it would be great if they were more in tune with the city. We asked for advice on dinner for something that that was new and hip for our night out on the town, and the concierge recommended the Old Spaghetti Factory! Haha

I will admit, I was a little worried about staying at the Listel during my visit to Vancouver. Unilocal and trip advisor had mixed reviews but thanks to a
deal, I booked a room for three nights here.
I had originally asked for two queen beds but by the time I checked in, they only had rooms with King beds left. To make up for that, they put a cot in the room.
The room was great and the hotel is in a good location — next to lots of shops and restaurants. The front desk was always friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and spacious.
My only complaint is the bed — that thing was hard and uncomfortable. If I ever go back to Vancouver (which I totally am), I am going to totally consider staying at the Listel again!
