A great location steps from the shops of Robson Street and low rates make this three-story former apartment building one of the city's best-value pension-style hotels. The guest rooms are clean if basic, but the 1930s building, with its wide corridors, skylights, and mahogany staircase, has a certain old-world charm. Most of the front rooms overlooking Robson Street have mountain views, but the back rooms are quieter. Because the hotel caters to bus tours, make sure to book in advance. Pros: Location, spacious rooms. Cons: Can be noisy, must book early.
