I had a great stay at the Best Western Sands. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the location couldn’t be better. The Park restaurant was a pleasant surprise with really good food. I’d absolutely recommend staying here!

Не для путешествия с маленькими детьми. Шумно в номерах. Отель делит помещение с баром с одной стороны, где постоянно зависают , и с баром с другой стороны , где смотрят что-то. Очень много выпивших, курят прямо перед входом на стойку регистрации. Сказать, что спокойно, не могу, но в лифт можно попасть только по карточке. Номера грязные, ковры ужас , балконы ахтунг. Порадовал рум сервис и хоускиппинг, которые мне принесли и полотенца быстро и вилки, за что спасибо ещё раз. Списали с меня за три ночи . Пока не вернули за третью , а была я там две). Вид из номера ничего особенного, жилой дом. Но, если, есть возможность выходить на балкон, то вот с него, если прижаться к стене , то можно увидеть потрясающий тихий!

We stayed 3 nights then came back for one more night before we flew out of Vancouver and it was a great stay. First, they actually have covered parking on 2 floors with easy access into the back lane near Denman. There is covered walking into the lobby and the front desk staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the beds were super comfortable with four pillows which was a bonus. The bathroom was recently renovated but ask for a rubber bath mat because the floors are very slippery. Our view was in the front and we could see the ocean, the back wouldn't be a great view. There is a pub downstairs that was always full with different things each night , karoake etc. If you needed something for your room they were there in under 10 min. Location is steps away from english Bay beach , starbucks, restaurants, safeway, no frills and tons of restaurants. Will stay again.

This is our Home Away from Home. Eddy Chau and his staff are efficient, warm,no request goes without attention and assistance. The location is the best in the city for enjoying beach sunsets, Stanley Park and all the restaurants. The Park Sports bar is a great spot to watch games, participate in karaoke, hear live music znd challenge your team on Trivia night. Breakfasts are outstanding as is Happy Hour at the Bayside Lounge.
