Location was great, although the neighborhood around could be a bit sketchy. A little confusing, checking in the first time without any front desk, but it all worked out fine. Definitely an in-city gem; would stay there again in a minute!
Excellent!
Everything was excellent. I highly recommend this property for your visits to Vancouver. It offered everything we needed in the perfect location.
Although the neighborhood was rough, the hotel was safe. It was a quick process to get into the building and the room. No front desk staff to deal with.
The location was perfect the room was immaculate and the staff was next level amazing. Would highly recommend. It felt like home away from home and would definitely stay here next time I’m in Vancouver.
Clean room - responsive staff available on phone. Parking was convenient. The shower handle did break off and we couldn’t get the pull out bed to go back in. But outside of those minor things, the stay was great!
Property was excellent. Room was spacious ; much bigger than in the pictures. Everything was spotless. Staff were super helpful and accommodating; nothing too much trouble. Everything worked as it should. Car parking is available at the rear of the building. Gas Town is a 5minute walk away.
Beware the area is very confronting! Heavy drug use everywhere! You do not feel safe in the area at all!
The staff barely speak English . The check-in process is very clunky, especially when having to use Google Translate to communicate. 2 nights not good value at all .
The rooms and beds are comfortable, and the linen and towels are fresh and new.
Better to stay in a hotel, not in that area of gastown. Vancouver needs to clean up their drug problem.
The team at Block House was very responsive to messages. Made check in easy and the rooms were amazing.
The location for Gastown was perfect and the restaurants in the area were also great. 10/10. PM
We stayed at the Block House for a couple of nights and really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very responsive to our questions via text messaging both before and after check-in, and the property and rooms were exceptionally clean. The best part is the location—you really can't beat it. You're just a short walk from downtown, the waterfront, and right in the heart of Gastown. There are also several great coffee shops nearby, along with a charming breakfast and lunch spot directly across the street.
One thing to keep in mind is that the property is located on the edge of Gastown. Just a couple of blocks away, you'll encounter a less polished part of Vancouver with a visible homeless population. In addition, the building is historic, so if you're a light sleeper, it's a good idea to bring earplugs. You may hear some street noise or people screaming in the middle of the night as well as sounds from neighboring rooms.
That said, this is to be expected in an older building in a lively urban neighborhood, and it shouldn't come as a surprise if you've done a bit of research on the area before your stay.

It is in a great location within Gas Town and local attractions.
Check in was easy and the rooms were great. Everything we needed was there and they have a lot of character. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Definitely would stay here again!
It's a heritage property converted into boutique hotel rooms right in the heart of Gastown. The neighbourhood can be a bit colorful but we found it to be amazing. The rooms are perfect for an overnight getaway and the hotel is very close to the Helicopter terminal to Victoria as well the float plane terminal. 100% will stay again.
What an amazing spot..wonderful communication with host, unit was absolutely spotless, amenities were excellent and the location is so perfect. 100% will stay there again! Thanks, Nicole ❤️

Room was clean and well stocked. Assistance due to a minor issue was immediate and very impressive.
Property is in Gastown which has plenty of food and drink options. The property itself is recently renovated and incredibly clean. The check in process was very straightforward and the room was to a high standard with an incredibly comfy bed! The staff were friendly and super helpful when we needed to reach out with some questions. They very extremely accommodating when it came to looking after our luggage before our flight home. Highly recommend!
It’s a boutique hotel, it was nice, its clean -and walking distance to restaurants however I feel like I am in the prison because of fully gated apartment/hotel but I get it It’s for safety since there is a lot of homeless roaming outside. Overall 3-4/5. Thank you.
