2-Star Hotels in British Columbia, Canada

Nice property. Very ridge on early and late check-in and check out. Check on time is 1:00 and it is an extra $50 to check in early. Check-out time is 11:00 and can be extended to noon without a fee but beyond that it is $50. Breakfast is a little bit light with no hot foods. Great pool and water slide along with a hot tub. I had a suite, and room size was good, almost a mini condominium.

This hotel was built in 1885 with historical background according to the pictures on the wall. It would be more informative if there was a more thorough descriptions next to the pictures and become a museum like Inn. We stayed in the Superior King room with balcony, the river view was excellent. This little town is very tranquil with relaxing vibe. We loved to stay in the balcony, unfortunately, there is no any BBQ or stove for cooking here, or we would love to stay more days. There is also no sun umbrella or shaded place in the balcony, and it could be very bright and hot even during 11C in the summer. Our room is the closest to the car park, but we can’t access the stairs directly down to the car park. Instead, we had to detour in the hotel, walked the a few levels of stairs with passing two doors to the car park. There are more than a dozen of stairs in the hotel. Elderly and anyone with leg or back problems need to be aware of it. 
Our room has been renovated recently. Everything maintains in very good condition, besides of the air conditioning. The air conditioning system was connected to another three rooms in the same isle. If any of the room turns on the heater while everyone is using the cool mode, the air conditioning will be shown in error. Thanks for Meghan that she was willing to come back to the hotel for us in 5 mins even it was out of her work time. She has been very helpful and nice during our stay. She is the best front desk I have seen on this island. We were happy with our stay, even we noticed that the noisy music from the pub right under the hotel level not only on in the weekend until midnight. However, we felt that compressor next to us had been noisy all day. We only felt quiet after we turned off the bathroom ventilator, air conditioning and closed the window. There was also two washing machines and one dryer on site charging only CAD$2 for each laundry. I think this is the cheapest laundry service on the island. The last but not least is the bath towels. We can’t stand with it snowing with crushes. I would suggest people bringing their towels. And the water pressure was too weak like a garden pot watering.

Was in a convenient location and not far drive from North Mall or Downtown Nanaimo. Rooms were clean, and relatively quiet.

I visited because my family lives in Vancouver. I was really worried because the reviews were so bad, but it was better than I expected. The hotel staff spoke Korean, which was nice, and they were considerate enough to make the place stair-free, which was convenient. But... the heater... it's really noisy. ㅠㅠㅠ And if it's off, it's cold... and if it's on, it's dry. Hahaha. Still, it was better than the reviews said. It wasn't cramped for two people, which was nice!

The service staff is very enthusiastic and can deal with our problems in time! The room is clean and tidy, and the space is comfortable ～! ! ! If you are going to YOHO National Park, staying here is a good choice! ! ! There is also an Indian restaurant next to it. The food is delicious!

Service: The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. Although there was a slight language barrier, they patiently helped me with all my questions – truly wonderful. The hotel's airport shuttle bus service was also great! Cleanliness: It was clean and tidy. Location: I personally found the location to be quite good. There's a small bar right across the street, and not far away, there are places where you can work out, eat, and shop, all within walking distance. It was a pleasant surprise.

I had a great experience at The Cambie Hostel Seymour. The location is excellent and very convenient for exploring Vancouver. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and well-managed. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist whenever needed. The facilities met my expectations, and I felt safe throughout my stay. As a solo traveler, I found the atmosphere warm, welcoming, and enjoyable. One of the best things about this hostel is its convenient location near Waterfront Station. It was very easy to travel from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to the hostel using public transportation, as Waterfront Station is the last stop on the Canada Line, and the hostel is only a short walk away. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily stay here again and recommend it to other travelers.

Overall, my stay was nice and it was a good experience, the Barbecue stove was very good and the location is very convenient too, but the air vent was very dirty and has a heavy smoke smell, the outdoor pool was pretty dirty too..

Good room, but terrible guest services and laundry experience We chose this hotel on our road trip because of its convenient location and reasonable prices, but overall, it was a disappointing experience due to their poor service. Check-in was okay, though we did have to wait a bit. The room itself was fine—clean, with a working AC and TV, and we had no issues with the room quality. However, the major issue was their guest laundry facility. We desperately needed to do laundry after a long drive, but their guest machines completely failed and left our clothes stuck mid-wash. To her credit, the receptionist tried to help by letting us use the hotel’s internal laundry machines, but the whole process was a huge hassle. What really ruined the experience was the management's response—or lack thereof. I sent an email to lodge a formal complaint about the issue, and they didn't even bother to reply or apologize. A business that ignores its customers after a bad experience gets zero points from me. If they offer a laundry service, they need to invest in proper commercial machines instead of cheap domestic ones that constantly break down. I will definitely not be staying here again.

We had a pleasant stay at the Arbutus Inn and it was a good base for us to explore Victoria. We chose this hotel because it was affordable and parking was included. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was well equipped with air conditioning, mini fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and very good lighting. The beds were comfy and the room was mostly quiet during our stay. The bathroom was good and the provided shampoo, body lotion and bar soap for the shower. They do not provide daily housekeeping here but you can pick up more things or put in requests at the front desk. We feel extra attention should be given to the AC unit, mini fridge and shelving for cleaning. The location for the hotel was good. There is a good diner across the street and some decent restaurants nearby. It is a 20 minute walk to Chinatown and 30 minutes to the inner harbour area which are both worth exploring. There are a couple of bus stops nearby which can get you to other areas of the city too. We drove and felt it was easy to get into and out of this area. National car rentals operates an office here as well if you need to rent a car.
