We stayed at the Oceanside Hotel in August 2008 for a week. The hotel has an excellent location, close to restaurants on Denman and the walking distance to Stanley park and the beach. A few positives about this hotel. The price is very good for similar apartment-style hotels in the area ($150 a night). Parking is free which is unusual... more

I needed an affordable suite in Vancouver and found the Oceanside. The room was not fancy but clean. The front desk staff, couldn't have been more helpful. Great location and great value. The free parking was a bonus. I would have loved to see a few room amenities such as coffee, paper towels, etc. more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in June 2008. Plenty of room in the apartment, although I wished for a bedside lamp to save getting out of bed. The room had just been decorated, in fact I think they were decorating throughout. The staff were very friendly. The location was excellent. 5 Minutes walk to English Bay... more

We stayed at the Oceanside Hoted for three nights in late May. The hotel has a good location, one block from the beach, on a quiet side street, in the West End area of downtown Vancouver. The staff was very friendly and helpful at check in and check out. The room was huge, actually a full fledged one bedroom apartment... more

We just returned from two nights in Vancouver with our two young kids. This hotel was great for our family and offered space and a good location. I also experienced my first ever upgrade. I had reserved a one bedroom with a fold out couch in the livingroom; as far as I could tell all rooms were the same. Upon... more

Don't be tempted by the ideal location, this place is filthy. From the streetside it appears to be a well presented if older three storey hotel but inside the stale smell, dirty (very) carpets and kitchen areas make the stay unpleasant. Don't get me wrong, I like basic but I will not be back here. - very very poor more

Bring several cleaning supplies. The room was very musty smelling and the walls needed to be cleaned. It was close to everything exciting so I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Sunset beach is but a block away theres always something new to discover just a few blocks away. Prepare to bring your own hair dryer and shampoo and soap. Extra blankets... more

Our apartment at the Oceanside hotel was clean and spacious. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. But the best thing about the Oceanside hotel is it's location! Denman street with lots of restaurants is around the corner, also English Bay and Stanley Park ... and downtown isn't far either. The hotel really is a great bargain, I guess... more

I stayed at the Oceanside over the Memorial Day holiday. My first thought was "What have I gotten myself into?". There is no place to park anywhere near the hotel. The small lobby had luggage left there by early arriving guests who had gone elsewhere. And after I checked in, I was informed that there was no air conditioning and... more
