We were looking for a backpackers/hostel in downtown Vancouver, but found them quite expensive or already booked out. Then we discovered The Kingston B&B. Share bathroom for 75 CD. Small, but very clean rooms and showers. Very friendly staff and breakfast is included (bagles, coffee and juice). And the best: It's situated REALLY downtown. One minute to Robson Street, five...

Arrived at 9am today (15 June 2013) and was allowed to leave my bags in a storeroom until check in that afternoon which was a nice touch. The guy at the desk was a little stern but polite nonetheless. My room is right outside the shared bathroom which is handy as the corridor is long. The shared bathroom is clean... More

What a lovely hotel! My husband and I loved this place. We chose the Kingston because of the location and price. We were impressed by the cleanliness and pleasant staff. The old world charm was an added bonus. Construction on both sides of the hotel wasn't a problem as that only took place during business hours. What a nice change... More

This is a small B&B but for the price (in comparison to the rest of the city), it's just fine. They provide a bagel or toast and 2 slices of fruit for breakfast. It's not the Marriott but it's enough to get your day started. And there are plenty of convenience stores within walking distance. We had a late check-in... More

Room size small but bigger than expected. My sheets and towels had hair and wet stains all over them. Bring sandals if you want to use communal shower, overall I don't trust the hygiene of this facility. Was plenty of free street parking(after 10pm) but must pay meter by 9am. paid parking avail for $16. Cheapest place in Vancouver dt... More

Yes there is a construction site next door to the hotel and yes it is noisy. But if you are out site seeing it'll be all over by 6pm. Don't be alarmed if you arrive earlier. Nice extras like free Internet computer and printing, decent breakfast, and free baggage storage. Thank you to the staff; we had a surprisingly comfortable... More

This Hotel is a hidden gem right beside the centre of downtown. Once you enter the building you feel set back to the beginning of the 20th century with lovely antique furniture and appliances. Especially this flair and the excellent customer service of the friendly and personable staff made us book our next stay already! The comments about the construction... More

On Richards Street, within walking distance of many restaurants, Stanley Park, the Maritime Museum, and a $10m cab ride from the train station, the Kingston Hotel is a gem. Friendly, helpful staff, clean room, decent price; I would stay there again.

I stayed here for 4 nights in July, selecting this hotel purely for its central location and price. With these criteria in mind, I admit I wasn't expecting a palace, but was very pleasantly surprised. The room was fine, a little stuffy initially, but a fan was provided. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the stay. Breakfast was... More
