Vancouver and Whistler

Hello again everyone! Well, we arrived in Vancouver Monday nite and were met by our Canadian friends Brenda and Ken. It was all very exciting to see each o ther again. We checked in to the Blue Horizon hotel which is right in the centre of Vancouver city centre. It's a lovely hotel and both our rooms had fantastic views right across the city. Went to Moxie's Grill for a light dinner which was fantastic. Tuesday morning we headed off to Whistler in the mountains for a one nite stay. Unfortunat...

Back in Vancouver - Update re Alaskan Adventures

Hi again everyone! Well, we're just off the ship this morning and are back in Vancouver city centre waiting to check into our room, so thought I'd take the opportunity to update you re what we've been up to! Since my last entry from Skagway, later that day we went on the Whitepass rail trip up the mountain to the Canadian border. This railway was built to support the goldrush of the time...up to 30,000 prospectors tried their luck during this time and would you believe only about 13 people fo...

Last stop

We left for Heathrow airport bright and early at 6am. After a 10 hour flight on a little Air Canada airbus we arrived in Vancouver at about noon (8pm UK time). We immediately got a good feel for the place as we were greeted by a friendly Customs official and there were staff at the airport to point foreigners in the right direction if need be. We got a shuttle bus to Robson Street to a hotel very close to ours (almost next door). After a couple of hours in a hotel to recover from our flight, ...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Blue Horizon Hotel Vancouver

Excellence

from A TripAdvisor Member
I have stayed at this hotel on several occassions, and have also introduced friends. Each and every one has loved the hotel and all it has to offer. Views, resturant and area are very good. Price is not one you can beat. Will be there again and again. Clean with excellent service.

Highly Recommended

from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband and I book this hotel each time we are in Vancouver. The balconies provide breathtaking views and photography opportunites. We travel quite a bit, and have always enjoyed this hotel.

Couldn't ask for more

from A TripAdvisor Member
I thought the Blue Horizon was wonderful. The parking garage was very convenient and the rates weren't bad, considering how much it costs to park around town. The location on Robson Street makes it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, etc. Service was polite and understated. The rooms are clean and HUGE. The windows offer an excellent view. I plan to stay there again. It's a great deal.

LOVED IT!! ONE OF THE BEST HOTELS IN BC

from A TripAdvisor Member
I have been to Vancouver many times and stayed at different hotels numerous times..Blue Horizon hotel would have to be one of the best hotels ever..we stayed on the 26th floor and from our balcony we could see the whole vancouver area..it was beautiful..the rooms were nice and clean and it was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.. A+++++

Great Hotel

from A TripAdvisor Member
We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Horizon Hotel. Our room was very large with a private balcony and a beautiful view of the bay. The staff was kind, chearfull and willing to help with our questions. We had a wonderful meal with great service and food at the restaurant in the hotel. We will highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Vancouver.

Fire Alarm

from A TripAdvisor Member
The rooms are nice, but one morning about 2:30 AM a rowdy crowd in front of the hotel woke me up. From my room, I noticed yelling, shoving, and cars darting in and out of the hotel parking entrance. About 20 minutes later the hotel fire alarm went off and we all piled into the street. Apparently, someone in the crowd had vandalized a sprinkler head in the garage. Since the garage entrance is immediately adjacent to the front desk, I wondered why the night staff hadn't been more diligent and called the police earlier, quite possibly avoiding the fiasco of hundreds of people evacuating the hotel at 3:00 AM. Hotel management informed me that they weren't in the habit of using the local police for hotel security issues. Right: We certainly don't want to bother the police in the middle of the night! Okay, so what about the hotel's own security staff?. Well, apparently they couldn't be bothered either. And don't get me started on the inept wait staff in the coffee shop. Stay away.

Wouldn't recommend it!!

from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband and I went to Vancouver for our honeymoon, and stayed at the Blue Horizon. (recommended to us by travel agent)

Upon arrival, we were double booked. Had to explain to front desk staff that in fact, we only wanted 1 room...

We placed the "do not disturb" sign on the door, and went out for dinner...Got back to hotel, and room service had been in the room (we had valuable stuff in suitcases that did not fit in the room safe), and had taken away our sign...

We cancelled the last night of our stay (left Vancouver early), and received a $191.53 charge for "not having cancelled early enough"

I tried to explain the situation to mgmt (flight was changed...gave 12 hours notice instead of 24), and they would do nothing about it. The customer service at this hotel leaves huge amounts to be desired. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Blue horizon hotel

from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the Blue Horizon hotel only a few weeks ago. The rooms are very spacious with an amazing view of the city and mountains from the balcony. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Moreover, it is right on the main shopping street Robson Street, Vancouver's "Oxford Street". You can't be more centrally located, only CAD$20 from the airport by cab. Highly recommended.

Good location, nice rooms

from A TripAdvisor Member
We stayed here in May, 2001 and found this to be a very good value for the money. The rooms were very spacious and furnished in soft colors that were very pleasant. They are larger than standard hotel rooms. Spring for a room on one of the upper floors, the views from the balcony are wonderful. Contrary to the other reviewer's experience, we thought the staff were very courteous and that housekeeping did a great job. The location on Robson St. put us in the middle of most activities in downtown Vancouver.

Good Value, terrible service

from A TripAdvisor Member
My fiancee and I decided to stay here after visiting a number of different hotels in the area. Though the desk attendant informed us our room was ready, we had no less than three interruptions upon our arrival from cleaning staff--actually entering the room without notice or knocking, leading to some embarassment upon both parties. When we complained, we were assured it would not happen again. However, despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign, the cleaning service entered the room at approximately 6 am. When we complained again, the management told us that there was nothing they could do, and that the maids story did not correspond with ours, and we were in fact, lying. Though our view was beautiful and the rooms nicely appointed, I would not recommend staying here simply because the personnel do not know the value of customer service and the motto "The customer is always right."
