Kingston Hotel

Hotel

Hotels in great location in Downtown Vancouver, with affordable prices and en-suite or shared rooms. Definitely to be taken into account if you want to spend little or you are just passing by. Friendly staff and a bit of a miserable breakfast.

Teeny tiny room, so small you have to go into the hall to change your mind. No TV in our room. Shared coed bathroom and shower. Won't return. Victorian Hotel is nicer if you like shared facilities.

Very comfortable and peculiar place as since sharing the bathroom the years even though they are shared they are very clean the rooms are acceptable only to sleep do not expect great comfort but I continue in service the atmosphere is very quiet and as I said it is a very peculiar hotel is what Cheaper than we can find by the area.

Nice little hotel in a very central location in Vancouver. The building is old, but very well maintained. Rooms are small, but is a great place to crash for a night or two if you want to see the city. Our room did not have a bathroom, but there are 2-3 bathrooms located on each floor that are very clean and well maintained. Very fast Wi-Fi as well. Would recommend, but do not expect the Ritz.

Ice bucket was hard to find, didnt have a wine opener. There odd stuff om the walls; the beds are very comfortable. The staff was nice tho, kinda confusing but they did ok.

Very small room, but cheap and good location.

Quaint, tidy, good service. Shared bathroom, not a problem at all. Would book a room here again. Walking distance to many great attractions in downtown Vancouver.

Excellent location! It is literally to get to sleep as the room is very small, the breakfast is simple but effective, the shared bathrooms were always available and clean, the staff friendly.

Such a homey feel. From the interior decoration that makes me feel like I’m back at my grandmas home, to the lovely staff members on site. I highly recommend Kingston. Located central to everything downtown, it’s literally a 5 minutes walk to the Vancouver Art Gallery and the major shopping area. We chose a room that had shared bathrooms and this was no issue for us. I never had to wait for the restroom. They even have separate showers for women so you feel safe. There’s a sauna room too! Rooms were small but not overly small, perfect for me and my hubby. We stayed 4 nights and appreciated how the window opened up to let airflow through. Laundry onsite is practical and appreciated. It’s CAD 2.50 for a wash or a dry (60 minutes and my boat load of stuff was dry. ) and their machines operate better than typical coin laundry places. You do need exact $1 and $0.25 coins to operate. Kindly ask the front desk if you need change. No refrigerator or microwaves in the room, but there is a communal fridge in the Laundry room. Breakfast is continental style, served in the front foyer of the lobby from 7-10. Find orange juice, green and black tea, coffee, toast and cereal. Wi-Fi works really well throughout the hotel. Parking is around CAD 30 for 24 hours and is optional, but downtown lacks free parking over night so this is a good bet. The building next door to Kingston Hotel is where you’ll park after checking in.

A clean, no muss, no fuss hotel that is centrally located in downtown Vancouver. Breakfast is Continental style with toast, bagels, cereal, juice and excellent coffee available. I'd stay here again.

Perfect location in Vancouver Downtown.

Quaint little hotel. Front desk helpful, room clean, bathroom clean (fortuante to have private room but there was the shared one just down the hall), small TV in room. Walls a little thin but great experience for the cheaper fare payed, especially when just using the room to crash after long night.

Good location and price. Room was clean. Decor is a bit dated but it's an old building, so wasn't expecting it to be super chic. No complaints, would stay there again!

The staff were friendly and the room was very clean. Friendly staff.

Really excellent little place. We got a room with a private bath, but there are also rooms with shared communal showers and washrooms on each floor. It's a great old rooming house turned into a pretty nice little hotel. Each room has one key (make sure you remember to lock the door when you leave your room, the doors do not lock automatically) that you turn into the desk when you leave the building, and pick up when you come back. They offer a continental breakfast in a cute breakfast room, and 15% off meals in the adjacent restaurant. Bed and pillows are super comfy, and everything is very clean. Don't go expecting a chic contemporary experience, everything here feels quaint and homey. Very comfortable.

Clean, comfortable and cheap! Breakfast is simple but good! Well located.

Very comfortable and warm hotel. Reception person was brilliant. Thought enjoyed our stay.

Unique, old-fashioned hotel. Tiny rooms and shared bathrooms. This may seem as a downside, but the experience is great.

The location was great for us. The room was small but we were only there for 2 days so it was not our main concern. The staff was very friendly and professional.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The staff was very rude and we ended up just leaving because the rooms were so awful and the staff was so disrespectful.

Old fashioned bed and breakfast right in downtown Vancouver. The rooms are very small and have no bathrooms. Instead there are communal men's and ladies bathrooms on each floor. The price is much cheaper than any other hotel in downtown Vancouver so it's a perfect place if you're looking for the cheapest option. I would stay at the Kingston hotel bed and breakfast again.

Lovely place, cozy, and with a bit of an old-school flair. We had one of the rooms which had its own washroom. The location is excellent, breakfast is good (comes with fresh bagels). I can see how it's slightly inconvenient if you don't have your own bathroom. Staff was really nice and pleasant.

Overall I've enjoyed my stay and would come back. The room is clean and a nice breakfast is included. However, I think the bathrooms should be cleaned much more frequently (as they are shared).

Very convenient central location. Clean room and shared bathroom facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Adjacent bar and grill had good reasonably priced food. As we stayed in late summer the room was quite hot and humid due to limited natural ventilation / no aircon.

I'm not comfortable with share bathroom. It's also so hot in summer. It's good for the price but if you want a relaxing stay, you might take the info into consideration.

It is a cute little hotel, with mostly shared bathrooms and no a/c. If you can't sleep well in hot weather, look for another hotel.

The hotel smells old and there are no bathrooms in the room and there is only one bathroom for the entire floor, room super small 3 x 4 meters, bed watery very bad breakfast bread or cereal nothing more.

Wonderful place to stay in downtown vancouver. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and a Continental breakfast.

The hotel was quaint. It was not clear online that there was no bathroom or shower in the hotel room but it was shared among all the guests on the floor which made it interesting to say the least. The rooms were also very small and the breakfast was only cereal and a toasted bagel which was extremely lacking in my opinion. Overall it is ok for a budget hotel in the middle of vancouver but I would not stay there again for the bathroom issue alone.

A Bed & Breakfast very well located in the centre of the city, only 20 min walk from Stanley Park and 10 min of Gastown.

I stayed here in the summer of 2012, so I can only say what Kingston Hotel was like 5 years ago. I had a great experience. The room was small but in good condition. It had a view of the street. The bed was clean and comfortable, better than it looks in the pictures, I think. The shared bathroom situation was fine. They were very clean and set up nicely so you still have some privacy. There was also a small unisex bathroom (on each floor I think) that locked and had a toilet, sink, and shower, which might be nice if you don't feel comfortable in the shared bathrooms. Breakfast was basic, but tasted good and the location can't be beat. I spent a week there and didn't have a car and didn't feel like I needed one.

Guy at the front desk was a jerk we booked a 2 bed 1 bedroom told us when we arrived that there was no more rooms with 2 beds we said ok then we cant stay ask for our money back they said no we cannot do anything call the agency with who you booked the hotel we called them they said we have to speak with the hotel and they managed to get us only half so basicaly the guy just didnt want to help us from start he wanted to take our money and run not an honest business!

The guy who checked me in had a stick you-know-where, but the rest of the staff was friendly enough. The bed was comfy, but the sink in the room had a faucet that had to be held on. Plus, shared bathrooms/showers for the hall, which would suck on a busy day. Location is basically perfect.

A bit overpriced for product… no washrooms or TVs in rooms. But it was a decent little room and was quiet, despite the proximity to downtown and the bar downstairs. Great central location. The front desk guys were super-friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

Good rooms. Breakfast was a joke. Please make it better.

This hotel is very clean and has a cozy atmosphere. The location is right downtown making it easy to walk everywhere. Breakfast and all day coffees and teas — great lounge area. The pub next door has great food and a pool table, darts etc. My husband and I will definitely be staying here again!

While the Kingston Hotel may not mesh with the common image of a "Bed and Breakfast, " it does literally offer both of these — at a very good price given the prime downtown Vancouver location. Yes, the rooms are small by today's standards, but we got two adjacent, connecting rooms for less than a single room most anywhere else downtown, and this allowed our son to comfortably sleep separately from us (and go to bed earlier) in his own, comfortable bed. The rooms do lack air-conditioning, but even in the midst of a record-setting late-June Vancouver "heat wave" we left the windows open by day and slept comfortably at night with them closed (to keep out street noise) — Vancouver cools down nicely at night, offering good "sleeping weather. " We did not have a car (having taken the train up from Seattle) and were happy for it — we walked, took transit, and rented bikes (from Simon's Bike Shop) and the Kingston was a superb base for this — the perfect location. Everything was kept clean and in good working order; our room had a TV with cable and a full bathroom, though our son's smaller room no TV and only a sink. The staff was very polite, kind, and helpful, without exception (as were most folks in Vancouver! ) and went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay.

Very pleasant stadthotel. Preis ok. Again and again.
