Moda Hotel in Vancouver

[kathleen3607]

I was wondering if anyone has any information about the Moda Hotel on Seymour Street in Vancouver.  I have booked this hotel for $200 for the 1 night.  I can cancel up until 2 days before cruise.  The only bad thing I have read so far is the walls are thin.  We just want a nice/clean room for the 1 night. 

 

Thanks for any insight

Hi Kathleen, i also booked this hotel but after reading posts here from Michaelcath I booked the YWCA.  I cancelled the Moda.  YWCA have several types of rooms, Ive booked a double with our own ensuite for 140 canadian dollars room only.  If you book on their own website they give a discount to over 60s.  Michaelcath seems to know all there is to know about Vancouver so I am trusting his recommendation.   All we ask for is clean room, ensuite bathroom and located in a safe area.

I think that was me being mentioned; I'll add Michael to my growing list of nicknames;-)

 

If you travel with earplugs Kathleen I'd have no major qualms about sticking to Moda - it is a busy intersection for traffic, but it's still a downtown hotel that is good for walking around from and the in-house resto and winebar, Cibo & Uva, are both very nice. As TJ said, if all you want is a nice, clean, safe room and don't need frills the Y is an even better value and significantly better-reviewed. Moda is ranked in the 60s of the 90ish downtown hotels on TripAdvisor, i.e. about 2/3rds of downtown hotels are deemed better by visitors, but it's certainly not one of the seriously dodgy places - it's just an old building with the usual issues that brings like subpar soundproofing, old and small elevator, drafty windows, that sort of thing.

Sorry martincath.  My excuse was that it was midnight and I was heading to bed when I saw post. My brain doesn't function well at any time but after 10pm it's worse!

Thanks Tara and martincath so much for the information!  I might look into the Y , I can cancel up to 2 days before cruise.

True but you may not get into the Y if you leave it too late.

I think I will leave us at the Moda for now.  Thanks everyone for your help
