The Sunset Hotel West End

We chose to stay at the Sunset due to its location and walkability to Stanley Park, the museum, Vancouver Aquarium, Granville Island and the downtown area as a whole. We flew into Vancouver late in the evening and the staff ensured that we had the info to gain entrance to the hotel and our room by emailing it to us earlier that day. We stayed in a superior king room and it had all the amenities we needed - a well stocked kitchen and private bedroom. We bought some groceries at shoppers and ate breakfast in our room. I loved the scents of soaps and lotions in the kitchen and bathroom and having the amenity cupboard in the hotel lobby made it easy to grab extra coffee, tea or other supplies we needed. There is an umbrella stand in the entry, but we didn't use them as we brought our own. On checkout day we took advantage of the luggage lockers as our flight didn't leave until supper. We locked up our luggage and walked to the aquarium. After we came back to the hotel, grabbed our luggage and walked to the yaletown roundhouse station and took the skytrain to the airport. It was very convenient. Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Vancouver and the Sunset Hotel was perfect for our needs. We were here during the week and the hotel was nice and quiet during our stay. It is downtown, so some road noise/sirens were heard.

The unit was very, very spacious. Had a balcony and great lighting. The living room and kitchen was great for hosting guests (we invited friends over one night for wine and games). I loved how well stocked the kitchen was (glassware, dishware, pots, pans, coffee machine). There were cleaning supplies like soap and sponges as well. What's also really convenient is that your phone (via an app) can function as your room key - just open the app and tap your door. You don't need to worry about accidentally forgetting or losing a key card. The area is tucked away and quiet, but it's just a block away from Davies St, the main street going through the vibrant and hip gayborhood. Will definitely come back to the Sunset (Sonder) again!!

Good location, safe, walkable. Lots of little shops and restaurants. Fatburger was our favorite restaurant. Two washers and two driers in a clean room. Very nice place to stay.
