Upon arriving to the Tropicana, I had the feeling that I was at a rundown Las Vegas hotel. The dresser is in the livingroom rather than the bedroom and the stove is ancient. After the initial shock, I realized that I have free wifi, which works most of the time but most importantly, I am in the heart of the... more

I was in Vancouver in early January 2008. I was originally booked at the Blue Horizon Hotel up the road (at CDN 110 a night) and was extending my stay so wanted a place that was a little cheaper. The Tropicana had availability for about CDN 80 a night and I inspected a suite on the top floor (12th floor).... more

This hotel is situated in the "buffer zone" between downtown and the West End. Quite a lot is within walking distance -- Stanley Park, downtown (shopping, Art Museum, etc.), Yaletown, Gastown, etc. There are abundant restaurants, bars, etc. within a block or two of the hotel. The area appears to be quite safe. The street (Robson) can be noisy at... more

Came to about $80 per night and I was there for 3 or so nights. I simply walked in and they gave me a room on the 12 (which ever is 2nd from top) floor, overlooking Robson Street. Everything was up to standards and worked beautifully. I asked about the bad comments I've read and they said that they were... more

Based upon previous reviews in trip advisor, we selected this location. The price was right and so were the accommodations. It was much better than indicated and when next in Vancouver I will return. Though we didn't drive we were amazed at the parking facility. Also the pool and laundromat were added luxuries. WIFI not in rooms YET.. management indicated... more

Tropicana Suites on Robson is the updated name on the Internet. The in-town location is 1 mile from the cruise ship terminal and GasTown and nearer to Stanley Park and trendy Coal Harbour. The suite size was good but it and, especially the kitchen, are dated. The price was very good for central Vancouver. Air conditioning = opening the windows,... more

We booked the Tropicana after reading reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disapointed. The hotel is in an excellent location on Robson Street in the centre of Downtown and has the added advantage of free car parking (if you can't get in at the side of the hotel, don't worry, there is plenty of room in the underground car... more

i was a little worried about staying there because i thought it would be a bit dirty and dingy . it was neither ! it is a little dated but it is very clean and comfortable .the rooms are spacious and perfect for a stay of more than one or two nights. the staff was very friendly and helpful the... more

We have chosen the Tropicana as our accommodations in Vancouver since the mid 1980s. The location and reasonable price hooked us from the start. I must admit, when we visited in 2005 things were getting shabby and the maids forgot to clean our room but that is all in the past. This most recent stay was perfect in every way.... more
