Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Willo - Previously Known Ywca Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Willo, formerly the YWCA, generally impresses guests with its convenient location near attractions like Gastown, Chinatown, and Canada Place, easily accessible via nearby SkyTrain stations. Many appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, some of which include amenities like a fridge and microwave. The available common areas are a plus, especially the well-equipped kitchens and the viewing lounge on Level 11, and complimentary coffee is also a highlight for many; however, some guests have found the beds in certain rooms smaller than expected. Overall, its location and amenities provide good value, especially considering its proximity to Robson Street and the stadiums.

The location was excellent, near the stadium. i liked that the main entrance required a key card after 9 pm. this. the hotel offered complimentary lemon water. It was refreshing after a long day.

The room had a slight odor. It was noticeable upon entering. the room decor felt dated. It could use some updating. there was only one chair in the room, another chair would have been useful.
