West End

A location of the Hostelling International chain, this is a rather nice and very clean hostel. Games room, a spacious kitchen, TV room, internet access, free breakfast. It's a little far from downtown walking-wise, but located on a very nice, quiet street near the waterfront.

B&B style hotel in a West End residential area. Some rooms have private baths while others have shared facilities. No parking available if you have a car.

Mix of rooms ranging from standard to premium suites good for long term stays. Guests have access to the nearby Denman Fitness Club and the hotel is located close to shops, restaurants and attractions like Stanley Park and English Bay.

Boutique hotel with an arts twist -- a number of the rooms and floors have been decorated by local museums or artists.

Hotel in a heritage building across the street from English Bay Beach. Mixture of standard rooms and suites, some rooms have a kitchen.

Apartment-style suites with a full kitchen, DVD, washer/dryer and fireplace. A little pricey, but for the location literally two blocks from Lost Lagoon, and two blocks to shopping on Robson Street its worth it.
