Skwachays Lodge

Clean, comfortable, rather quiet place. Surrounded by homelessness.

Highly recommend this hotel. The indigenous artwork in the lobby is beautiful but what a wonderful surprise to see the indigenous artwork in our room (we stayed in the King Salmon which had a beautiful mural on the wall which lit up)! The continental breakfast consisted of homemade yogurt dishes, banooks, and quiche. The only thing we did not like were the homeless people camped outside near the entrance, but they did not cause problems.

Very unique place. Well decorated. Beautiful native art. Location is great but not ideal in terms of a safe environment.

I was a solo traveller (female) to Vancouver and I loved everything about the hotel: Quick, friendly and efficient check-in; well-appointed room (with coffee maker AND microwave); room and hotel featured stunning indigenous art / decor; offered great options for a filling and nutritious breakfast including bannock (delicious!) and homemade (?) blueberry yogurt - great way to start the day. Other reviewers wrote about the hotel location, however, I felt safe and secure in the hotel and used my common sense when walking around the environs. The lodge was excellent value for money and I look forward to my next stay (I will bring my bathing suit this time to take advantage of the sauna).

Just such a beautiful stay! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was seamless, from check-in to booking event venue. The hotel is very well located, walking distance from lots of restaurants and bars. The lobby is an amazing art gallery. The sauna and the rooftop are perfect places to relax, and the rooms are so well decorated. Definitely recommend, 10/10

Such a unique place to stay! The service provided was exceptional and the cleanliness of the hotel is another level.

Very unique setting in what used to be an Indigenous gallery. Wall art in the room was also very unique. Only 9 minute walk to Rogers Arena. We were on the 6th floor and wifi was spotty at best. Continental breakfast was definitely nothing to write home about.

This is such a beautiful place to stay! We loved loved loved our time here, the room was lovely, the staff were extremely nice and very accommodating, the decor is beautiful, and we loved the option of the sauna and smudge room. It was also amazing to eat breakfast (delicious bannock!) in the gorgeous art gallery. The only thing I wish was that the area felt safer at night, as a tourist it’s hard to know whether any of the local people milling around at night mean you any harm or not. However, the proximity to the water and to gastown really can’t be beat! Truly would come back and recommend in a heartbeat.

Amazing design and staff was very kind. Really enjoyed our stay. We will be back.
