The staff were very helpful with local information.

The Hotel BLU is a great choice for those visiting Vancouver. The rooms are large and clean, with comfortable beds and the staff are very welcoming. It's located close to lots of restaurants and shops too, so we didn't have to go far for food.

Unfortunately, there is one downside - the bathroom has a large window into the bedroom. While this doesn't bother some people, I personally don't like the idea of my husband pooping or showering in full view! If you can cope with that then the Hotel BLU is a great pick. Otherwise, you might want to look for somewhere else to stay.

Overall, if you're looking for a decent hotel in Vancouver with great amenities and a friendly atmosphere, then the Hotel BLU could be just what you're looking for. Just make sure to check out the bathroom situation before you book!

We stayed April 20th for a Birthday celebration, we booked through the hotel and obtained a rate that included breakfast and parking which is a huge bonus. Friendly greeting by valet and front desk staff upon arrival and super accommodating. Beautiful lobby and it was nice to see complimentary infused water for guests in the lobby, even fruit as well.

The loft room was gorgeous, and the amenities in the room were impressive! A Dyson hair dryer, a Nespresso coffee machine, a complimentary diffuser & oils upon request, umbrella, robes, motorized curtains etc. We were upgraded to the loft room which was beautiful, spacious and had a nice patio (too bad it was raining during our stay). I thought the sound of traffic would be loud since the hotel is right in the middle of downtown, but it was surprisingly quiet. If I could, I would choose the loft room every time... it's so worth it. The pool and hot tub were indoor and nice. Also a dry sauna onsite and a patio off the pool which would be nice in the summer. I never used the fitness centre but it appeared adequate for sure, and even had peloton bikes.

The included breakfast was amazing. I was expecting grab and go items and nothing too fancy. To my surprise it was nicely decorated room with sit down service. We could order anything off the menu (which had great choices) up $40 for the 2 of us which was included (and anything else above obviously, if you wanted to pay for it). The breakfast was freshly made to order, and was very good.

Check out was a breeze. The parking was perfect, and loved the fact that we could use it until 1pm on day of check out.

Thank you Hotel Blu for a great stay from beginning to end and making my Birthday special. We will definitely be back.

A concert was the main attraction for our trip to Vancouver and this hotel was the perfect location. 8 minutes to Rogers Arena.

Canada Place and False Creek ferry to Granville Island were both 20ish minutes away. Lots of restaurants in the area.

Rooms were nice. Extra soft sheets. Pool wasn’t anything fancy but perfect for my 12 year old that wanted to play.

Our flight home was mid afternoon and the hotel was kind to give us a late check out. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We just stayed 3 nights at Hotel BLU. It is in a great location with easy walk to most city highlights such as Stanley Park, Canada Plaza, city Stadiums and Gastown. Staff are very friendly and room was large with a good bathroom. Very clean daily service. The Nespresso machine with daily pods and microwave were very handy additions. I also love they offer recycling bins in room and free apples at reception. There are lots of small restaurants within a short walk from hotel ranging from cheap eats to good restaurants. Would highly recommend for any kind of stay in Vancouver.

Stayed at the hotel in October with my aunt. Very pleasant smaller hotel with excellent service. We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel daily during our 2 night stay. The location was convenient for us. Hotel was clean. The concierge, Anouar, was very helpful with regards to directing us and answering questions. At the end of the day, good service is the key to a return visit to a hotel for me. And based on the excellent service, I would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Vancouver.
