Hotels near Vancouver Coal Harbour Seaplane Base - CXH, Vancouver

North Vancouver is a lovely area just across the bay from Downtown Vancouver. Easy access across the bay via the regular ferry gives you the best of everything. North Vancouver seems a nice safe neighbourhood with a nice choice of bars and restaurants. You also have easy access to the hills and mountains where there are some great walks and stunning scenery.

I found that the best areas to visit were away from the city, such as Whistler, Grose Mountain, the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Nth Vancouver. Chinatown and surrounding area was not good with lots of people lying around in the streets. This whole area needs to be cleaned up as it is bad for locals as well as tourists who can no longer visit this area. Catching the SeaBus and the local bus system was very good as is the good number of Uber drivers which are a great help to getting around the city. Also Granville Island, especially the market is a lovely place to visit.

I've stayed here numerous times before and was surprised to be booked in a very small basement bedroom . There was no air conditioning in the room but only an open basement window. Not impressed considering the number of previous bookings. Otherwise the facilities met with our previous expectations. lovely view and great kitchen facilities with several breakfast options.

Lovely city with friendly and helpful inhabitants. Lots to do; much of it quite inexpensively and exploring it will give you a feel for its inclusiveness, its physical beauty, the opportunity to enjoy a plethora of restaurants with excellent and varied cuisines. Go visit and Vancouver will keep calling you back!

For a quick staycation we had friends coming from the island as well as the valley and decided North Van would be a good middle distance. We had few expectations and assumed we would be shopping and sipping drinks with good friends. It turned out that it was very easy to get around between sea bus to down town and bussing up to the parks. The shipyards area and lower lonsdale is rich with great little stores and non-chain restaurants which was such a treat.

Absolutely loved Vancouver. There is so much beautiful scenery around the city, and great food in the city! Would definitely recommend this city to anyone. We drove up to Squamish which was a beautiful drive, where we went rock climbing. Also enjoyed the gondola ride up to Grouse Mountain. Definitely visit Granville market if you're there, and make sure you visit the Marine building too. It's not the cheapest city, particularly for certain activities (Grouse Mountain, Capilano bridge - very pricey), but would still recommend paying this gorgeous city a visit.
