Fodor's Expert Review YWCA Hotel

733 Beatty St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 2M4, Canada

A secure, modern high-rise in the heart of the entertainment district, the YWCA Hotel has bright, comfortable rooms—a few big enough to sleep five. It's been described as an upscale hostel because some rooms share a bath down the hall, some share a bath between two rooms, and others have private baths. Plus, TV lounges and shared kitchens are available for all guests (kitchen utensils can obtained at the front desk), and rates include free Wi-Fi and use of the YWCA adults-only pool and fitness facility, a 15-minute walk away. A second tower, open in late 2020, adds 65 rooms to this value-oriented hotel which has also undergone a refurb.
