Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Best Western Plus Sands enjoys a fantastic location near English Bay, with easy access to Stanley Park and various restaurants. Many guests appreciate the comfortable and clean rooms, some of which offer partial views of English Bay, especially from higher floors. The convenience of having a microwave in the room is often mentioned, along with blackout curtains for a good night's sleep. While some have noted the hotel's dated features, the proximity to the beach, walking paths, and attractions like Sunset Beach, combined with on-site amenities like the sports bar, generally make it a worthwhile stay.

a tender seaside stay

perfect location fine restaurants clean room
The location was perfect. So close to the sea wall and many fine restaurants, it was a dream. i especially cherished the sunsets i viewed each evening from nearby, holding hands with my beloved. the room was clean and the king bed welcomed us with open arms after our long walks along the shore.
The elevator felt a little old. The hotel could use a small refresh.
