You literally get what you pay for and them some. Those who give this place a bad review need to realize what Vancouver is. It's an EXPENSIVE city with EXPENSIVE hotels. If you go six blocks west, you're paying 4 times what you pay at the Patricia. That said, it's in (arguably) the worst neighbourhood of Vancouver. There will be drug addicts outside the hotel at night. Is it dangerous? I don't thin so I've walked through this area in the dark of night and had no issues. You should probably stay away from the alleys and don't engage with the hookers (common sense, right?). The area is very tame during the day.
The plus side is well-trained staff who legitimately care about their guests experience and a night staff who keeps out the riff raff. And you get a downtown address, close to all the major attractions for a fraction of what it costs to stay a few blocks West.
It is by no means a luxury hotel and it certainly doesn't brand as such on the website. It's a budget inn, for budget travellers looking to save a buck in Vancouver and it does that well!!!response / report this review -

This hotel is possibly the best value in the city.
Yes, perhaps it is in a rough neighbourhood, but if you’re a grown up who has ever been in a big city before you’ll be just fine.
The hotel is vintage and adorable. Staff were fantastic.
The rooms are very basic, but for $55 a night, it is a steal. The only reason for not a 5-star review was because the WiFi was terrible.response / report this review -

The hotel is pretty nice. I stayed on the top floor. The beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. Front desk was helpful in calling cabs and providing information about the area. The neighborhood the hotel is in is pretty sketchy. Saw people smoking crack on the sidewalk across the street

This is a neat place. The building is like 104 years old. They advertise as a budget hotel everywhere, even on their sign outside, so any complaints about room size or age are ridiculous- you get what you pay for. Yes the rooms are small and the elevator is slow, I expect that in a historic building. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room and linens were clean.

The Patricia Hotel will give you a true taste of Vancouver's infamous DTES(downtown east side). The Patricia is over 100 years old and still has many vintage, yet well maintained features. It sports a lobby with plenty of seating and huge picture windows. People watch till your hearts content! If you are looking for a "gritty" experience, this is the place to Be. Not recommended for for persons under 19.

The hotel itself is beautiful, held true to it's age very well. Staff were generally busy, but apologetic and understanding of this fact. The Patricia was the only "reasonably priced" hotel during my visit to Vancouver.
Missing two stars, and I know it's totally out of it's control, but the location is awful. Surrounded by discount kind of sketchy stores, and a terrifying example of drug abuse and dependency. Literally hundreds of people within a block. Catch the 20 from your door downtown.
Doors are locked at 11, but just show your key to the front desk from the window and they'll let you in.response / report this review -

In was shopping on Price. So I can put up with a few issues. Two person booking but no second key. In thought I was renting a twin not a double, but that could well be my own sloppiness.
Bathroom door is a but old - a handle to pull it closed would be easy. Electric outlet covers are eighty cents.
Within the limits available to him, counter clerk did the best available to him.response / report this review -

You get what you pay for. The staff was very polite and helpful. Parking is available for 10 CAD/day right next to the hotel. The rooms are very small and dark but clean. The lobby is cozy and there is a pub in the same building. The direct neighbourhood is awful but you only need to walk 5-10 minutes to be right in the city center. Chinatown is very close to the hotel (starts 1 block away). If you don't want to spend a lot of money and just need a place to stay for a few active days outside the hotel I'd recommend the Patricia hotel but if you want a cozy room and a nice neighbourhood then you might be disappointed.

The location is fine, but you will have to walk a little. The rooms (at least mine) is pretty small, but it's ok just for sleep. In the zone there's a lot of homeless people. The french fries at the restaurant are fine. The personal is kind, they let us do the check in even before the hour permited.

Cozy clean place in the middle of a bad part of town. In house craft brewery and good selection of beer. Live music and drink specials

I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I checked in this hotel.. First off the price that I was SUPPOSED to pay and was promised online when I booked it was a lie. I checked in and they charged me more than what I was promised. Secondly, the area, and blocks surrounding this hotel are ridiculous. You cant even walk one block without seeing people loiter and asking for money. The only reason for my stars is for the staff, they were really nice but the area around is a big upset for me. Not worth the price, location, nor the old rooms.

The hotel seems very old. The Continental breakfast advertised on some sites is only available during the summer. The hotel has a curfew at 10pm if you miss it the doors will be locked. Otherwise, it's a place to sleep at night.

Excellent Staff and warm welcome home from home. Value for money. The location is a cultural experience.
