Older building converted to a hotel so ut is more a small one bedroom apartment than a hotel. We had a full kitchen byt we were only staying obe night so didn't need it very friendly staff.

I suspect that what is now a hotel was once an apartment complex, given the small kitchenette - something I had not expected. It is old and does not have a modern feel. But it's very affordable and let's not forget that the parking is free. Vancouver is a very expensive city; it's nice to know that instead of eating out every night, you can walk over to Safeway and buy groceries. The staff are wonderful. Conveniently located close to Stanley Park and Canada Place. Any future trips to Vancouver will include a stay at the Tropicana.

We liked location and cost but the condition of the rooms was poor. The suite was very outdated and the sofa was unusable. The cushions sagged below the frame and the fabric was grimy as was the carpeting. The bathroom was ok and the bed was comfortable. Would not recommend this.

This is our first time staying at the Tropicana. It is a blast from the 1960s where nothing seems to have changed. An old hotel, very worn but had everything we needed for the night. It was the most affordable and we could walk to our venue. Mind you we are used to walking a lot. Very close to Lost Lagoon which is so pretty and also to many little shops including the best bakery on Denman called Breka. I'm not sure if quaint is the right word but the important thing is there was staff at the entrance desk 24/7. They are friendly and helpful, the housekeeper attending our room was so thoughtful and made sure we had everything in order. It is so basic but it has everything including a kitchenette a lounging area with table and chairs for eating. A separate bedroom making it all very spacious. Go in with an open mind and it is a safe functioning stay which is exactly what we needed.

This is our (my wife and I) first time in Vancouver for sightseeing. People at Tropicana Suite Hotel are so kind and friendly. They offered us a lot of excellent suggestions on where is valuable to go and how to get there efficiently. Thank you so much!

Hotel is very old, bathroom door was broken. Chair and Sofa, and bed are not clean and they all need to be changed. Shower and piping are noisy. Pictures are not describing hotel and are very different than what the rooms are. I wont try it again.

Building is very old and not very well maintained. Room was dingy. Carpets were frayed, floor was very bumpy. The faucet in the sink had a constant drip that couldn;t be stopped. There were dirty glasses left in the room. The suite was very large for what was paid for but that wasn't enough to overcome the stale, old feeling of the room.

Needs a makeover
The views and staff were lovely, the location is excellent with easy access to the shore and downtown. However, the rooms were shabby and worn to the point of exhaustion. The windows were single glazed and rattly. It is such a shame because it could be a fantastic place to stay.

I loved the location and convenience. You can walk around instead of driving. Free parking! Despite old style the room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Front desk was very welcoming and accommodating. I was able to check in earlier and check out on time. They let me leave my car for extra 2 hours at the property without charge. Housekeeper really is doing good job. Property itself needs a lot of work and updates. Things that cleaning stuff cannot fix like chipping walls, old furniture, decor, etc. Asna, front desk lady was very nice and helpful. I stayed at this place twice so far.

I honestly wasn’t expecting this budget hotel tk be as good at it was. For $350 for two nights, I had a living room, balcony, kitchen and no bugs! The property is most likely closing down in the spring 2024. But if you need a cheap place to stay and don’t mind 80s furniture with a 50s cube hotel, this is a good budget option. I don’t like to spend hundreds on hotels because I am barely in the room and traveled solo. So I find this better than a hostel and the location is great.

Dated but staff were friendly and location good
The staff were friendly and helpful. They were courteous hosts. The property is dated but they appear to be trying to make updates and repairs. For a downtown hotel, the room was larger than we expected, and the price was more than fair. The location was great and we were lucky enough to have been given a room with both a mountain and water view.

It is exactly as advertised. Older. Dated but exceptionally roomy, in the best location downtown, easy access by transit, walkable to the Orpheum for our season’s tickets to the Vancouver Symphony and the best deal in downtown Van in a safe location. Excellent staff Asna was great!
