We stayed in Viva Suites for a little getaway and were blown away by the size and cleanliness of the suites. The staff were very helpful and reception was warm and friendly. The convenience of in suite laundry and a full kitchen was very useful in cutting back the costs of eating out every night. The suites have huge windows... More

I believe that the staff is doing the best with what they have -- a dated building with tired units with worn furniture and virtually no accessories to make it feel homey. We were there 3 weeks before the ice maker finally worked. Had AC problems, fitness center issues (do you really need a sign that says "no spitting"?), the... More

Through constructive critiques, such as this one, we are continually striving to meet and exceed the expectations of our guests, repeat and new. The Viva Suites building was built in 1992 which is the reason our suites are so large, but this also means that there has been... More

Suites are massive and incredibly clean. Security guards are friendly & helpful. Location is good, just a few minutes walk to the beach. Will definitely stay again when we return to Vancouver.

We stayed as a couple in November 2011 for 1 week. The entire process from booking to checking-out was very easy. Our suite was the one bedroom deluxe on the 8th floor which is approximately 786 sq. ft. (according to their website). It was very spacious for 2 people. The unit was located in downtown Vancouver and was very close... More
