The surrounding area didn't feel super safe. I was advised to empty out my car or hide anything that could be sold.

The vibes were good! The staff were friendly and honest. I didn't check out the bar and restaurant but it seemed lively and the menu looked great.

It is a good price for Vancouver

Although we knew about the night club downstairs, it was very loud on the Friday night. Wouldn’t put us off staying again though.

Clean and in convenient location

Truthfully the only comment I can give against the Waldorf is the neighborhood it's located in, East Vancouver is a little rough and I'm sure can be uncomfortable for some people. That being said, that's not really the fault of the Waldorf, just one of the realities of Vancouver.

The Waldorf while being an older building and showing it's age, also carries with a lot of character. It's easy enough to get to via public transit from downtown. It's clean, and stocked with all the expected amenities. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Really for the price point and location there wasn't anything to complain about. The Waldorf is nothing fancy, but perfectly exceptional for it's weight class.

Very noisy (okay, they say at the description that there is a nightclub nearby), but there was a window pretty close to our room, we could hear the people having party out loud and it was after midnight. Plus, there is no breakfast included, and I thought a little bit expensive to buy it at the restaurant. :/

The room was comfortable, it was clean, the shampoo was veeery good, seriously, the best I've ever tried in hotels! hahaha Besides the "bad" points, I would stay there again for sure. We arrived around 8pm and the hotel receptionist was very kind!

Sketchy location of the city.

Good value.

No microwave, the shower is very tiny and the mattress wasn’t the most comfortable I slept on. Yet, I think this was a great value room and I would definitely be back!

Nice clean hotel. The room was very small but had great storage space, a large closet, a safe box, several mirrors, a fridge, chest of drawers, a coffee machine, and a desk. So there was a very clever use of space. Staff were very helpful and the wifi worked great! Lastly, there is no breakfast provided but you have a discount at a bar attached to the hotel, and there are supermarkets around. Highly recommended!

It is not a picturesque part of Vancouver, but it does have a very good bus service into the city centre.

Staff were very helpful, and let us leave our luggage at 9 in the morning, even though we could not check in until early afternoon. The hotel has several bad reviews due to the drug addicts in the street and also noise. We found the hotel quite quiet although we were on a Sunday night so maybe that is quieter. There are a few drug addicts in the nearby streets, but Vancouver has a bad drug problem and there are many many more drug addicts closer to the city centre. The few addicts near the hotel did not cause any problems although it would be better if they were not there. The hotel keeps its doors locked so I don't think it is a security issue. I would say don't let it put you off the hotel.

The bed is so light that it slides away from the wall and the 2 thin pillows provided made lounging difficult and not very comfortable for a couple. I wish the restaurants and bar had been open—that would have been super convenient as we were staying there before boarding our Alaskan cruise.

The staff are all helpful and courteous, the room was inexpensive for Vancouver, perfectly clean and the location, although on E Hastings, felt safe and was a great point for Ubering to various Vancouver attractions. It was also quiet during the week as events only occur on weekends.

I didnt have a charging spot accessible

All went well

Stayed in October 2023

The room is very small and there is no elevator so you have to carry up your luggage. The music can get very loud on Friday & Saturday nights till 2 a.m from the pub next door. Young people will love the hotel but older folks may find it a tight squeeze.

A good place to stay if you’re on a budget & parking is free. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The bus stop is just in front of the hotel and there are supermarkets are just across the road.

The bus route went through a few blocks of homeless, addicts living in the street.

A little sad but not surprised that there was no microwave, but mostly frustrated by the highly antiquated electrical system. I struggled to charge devices. I know it's an historic location but I really think they need to have some form of compromise or someone might do something stupid and cause a real problem.

I was very happy that there was a minifridge. The coffee/tea machine was helpful for tea, the safe and instructions to use it were clear. Bed comfy. The location was perfect for my needs; convenience store, Ethiopian restaurant, and indigenous gift shop nearby, many transit lines to downtown and elsewhere.

No dislikes. I was happy to be in this location and the hotel suited my budget

The room/hotel is basic comfortable and clean in an area out of the downtown which is poorer but clean and tidy. There were plenty of good cafés nearby in easy walking distance. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

I didn't need to use the earplugs as couldn't hear the music from the nightclub. Felt like I missed out on a good night as a result...lol.

Modestly decorated hotel at a reasonable price, close to public transport, free secure parking and clean. They even supplied earplugs to buffer the noise of the local night club.

Bathroom was old including the TP. The hallway was not cleaned yet. The bus stop glass was busted out which made me concerned for my car in the unsecured parking.

Once you got into the room it was ok. Guy at the front was good. He was really helpful to my partner as we came from out of town and she was here for a business appointment.

No breakfast but good choices really close. No elevator so heavy suitcases were an issue. Bed was quite soft.
