Helms Inn Reviews Summary

  • Hotel review by Neil

    Neil

    Poor

    Sleepless

    Cons: Rooms on the3rd floor have no noise insulation. I was listening to my neighbours wife all night long nagging the poor guy. I think the new construction did not use any insulation to give some privacy.

    Pros: great location near where the bus stopped from Vancouver Ferry. Husband on crutches. Reception Manager a Gem! Nothing was too much trouble! Really appreciated the happy, friendly quests too. Home away from home.

  • Hotel review by Jill

    Very pleasant, but place is...

    Pros: Location, general quality of property
    Cons: Beds are too small. Bathroom and kitchen were very tired and needing updating.

  • Hotel review by Jo

    Jo

    Wonderful

    Superb

    Pros: Lovely hotel convenient to downtown and across the street from the amazing Beacon Hill Park. Beds and rooms are always clean and attractive. This part of town can be a bit loud in the evenings, but that's an expected possibility when staying so close to so many attractions.
    Cons: Room was directly next to the street and beside an ice machine in the lobby, but I didn't notice any noise within the hotel. Passerby conversations definitely noticeable until the late hours.

  • Hotel review by Cyndi

    Cyndi

    Wonderful

    Love this quaint upscale mainstay.

    Pros: The room was beautiful, and kitchen utensils were well stocked. Very clean, well thought out setup. Noise from road wasn't bad. It's pretty usual for how close it is. The coffee was amazing for in-room coffee. And the outlets! So many! Thank you. It seems like most places actively limit where I can plug something in. Not here. Also, $10 CAD for parking in a downtown location is cheap people. And worth it. Close to everything.
    Cons: Only thing I could complain about is the blankets do not come up far enough when they make the bed. I had to yank it out to pull it up over my shoulders for the evening. It's winter. That shouldn't be a thing. I know it seems small, but it was annoying. Utility does trump appearance in this case. Also, not sure if it's just not a thing in canada, but the faucets and shower head and bath spout could use what we call aerators. It helps to regulate the water output without just letting it pour out. Would help with the excess noise made by pipes when water is being used on high for faucets and shower head. They are pretty cheap after market adds. Just fyi.

    Pros: The room was big, liked having a kitchen. Location to buses, Imax theatre, The waterfront.Shops.

  • Hotel review by Alma

    Alma

    Wonderful

    Perfect location

    Pros: Location is great for us with everything downtown within easy walking distance and a pleasant walk to the ocean through Beacon Hill park, which is across the road. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Convenient full-size fridge and kitchen supplies to prepare snacks or simple meals. Parking spaces work ok for small to midsize cars.
    Cons: It would be useful to have recycling and compost bins in the rooms.

    Good

    ok

    Pros: Room was a lot smaller than our previous stays but was good.
    Cons: we booked through booking.com & recieved confirmation that our 10 to11 checkin was OK. When we checked in at 1 we where told the room wasn't ready & wouldn't be till between 2:30 & 4. There was no mention of a $10+ a day for parking. Would have thought they would at least comp the parking cost for screw up on checkin.
