“Convenient, fun and suprisingly restful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We booked an Artist Suite for a 2-night jaunt to Vancouver for a pre-Valentine's day weekend. The hotel we usually stayed at in the past had recently closed and we were looking for something in the same area that wouldn't be overrun with kids or conventioneers, and we found it at the lovely Listel. The suite was large, the bed comfy, and the bathroom had a deep soaking tub that we made grateful use of after our excursions in the city and on Grouse Mountain. It was clean, the staff pleasant and helpful, and I thought it might be loud since our room fronted onto busy Robson street and we heard some noisy people in our hallway, but it was very quiet and restful.

The location is our preferred one in Vancouver, on the west end of the Robson street shopping district, close to Stanley Park, the West End, Davie, and downtown in general. When we checked out we got a nice surprise too - we'll definitely be back!

“4 day stay Vancouver”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel as part of a twin centre break our intial impressions of the hotel was good. Our room was on the second floor with only one lift in operation and no stairs to the second floor which is normally not a problem but at busy times you could wait 10 minutes for a lift!

The room itself was adequate but overlooked the waste bins and recycle area, early hours of the morning we would wake to the sound of people going through food bins and a few hours later by the bin men and delivery lorries. The room was directly opposite the service lift and the staff had no consideration to the guests on the floor, I know staff have to work but not all have to be up at 06:30/07:00 hours.

Over the course of the stay with execption of 2 staff at the hotel we found that most were ignorant and unhelpful.

The only positive thing about this hotel is it was on Robson Street and within walking distance of the City highlights.

Room Tip: Not on the standard floor!!!! If you can afford upgrade to a room on the higher floor overlooking Ro...

My apologies, yes one of our elevators was out of order during this guests stay, it is now back in operation. The hotel is in a downtown location, and that does bring with it downtown activities and sounds. I am very sorry to read that some of the noise was created by staff, it is an unusual time of day for activity on a guestroom floor, and certainly something we need to be cognizant of, thank you for pointing it out.

With regards to the quality, friendliness and helpfulness of our staff I will point to, and standby, the vast majority of reviews received which are testaments to what a wonderful group of people we have working with us; I must say that I find the language used in this review describing staff to be untrue and quite upsetting.

“Friendly and great jazz and art”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

had a great 3 night stay here - the staff were very helpful in advice of what to do. The restaurant had live jazz - thurs, fri sat. The art and artifacts were fun to see and added much more charactor than a chain hotel. The hotel is well located in the downtown area. Free wifi and landline calls within Canada and USA were thrown in.

Room Tip: higher floors are better

“Not What I Expected.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

people found this review helpful

When we arrived at the Listel Hotel, we found out our room had a queen bed instead of a king (as posted on the the hotels.com description). We were subsequently charged a $10 upgrade fee to be moved a room with a king size bed. The room upon entering was anything but "modern", as we were told by the front desk concierge. The room had an old tube TV in a plastic-looking armoire, opposite the bed. The bathroom was so small that the door almost hit the toilet upon entering. The shower/bathtub combo was tiny at best and was not clean. The grout looked as if it had never been cleaned and the overall shower/tub had a dingy, yellow tint. The hook on the back of this bathroom door was hanging by one screw. The bedding was scratchy and overall not comfortable to sleep with. When we gathering our things for checkout, we found a black sock that belonged to neither my boyfriend nor I. When we checked out and gave the valet slip to the front desk concierge, we waited for a half an hour to get our car. We only got the car brought around after the valet noticed us sitting in the lobby and asked us if we were waiting for a cab. He had obviously never gotten the slip. I would never stay at this hotel again because the service was terrible and the room even more so.

I am very sorry to read about the service defiencies that this guest experienced from the valet issue to the housekeeping issue... clearly not a positive reflection on our hotel and definately below ours (or any other hotels) standards. Looking at the website referrenced by the writer the room description does not guarantee a room type, but does allow for requests, I have to assume in this case the hotel was sold out of King beds... that does happen on occasion and unfortunately is beyond the hotels ability to control (the information given to it from the 3rd party websites). The guest was offered a superior room at a $10. premium to secure the king rather than a queen bed. None of the furniture in the hotel is plastic, the armoir noted is custom made of Cedar and Hemlock wood, species local to British Columbia.
