Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Exchange Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel, stands out for its convenient location near the SkyTrain and waterfront, making airport access and city exploration easy. Housed in the former Stock Exchange building, it features unique touches like the winding stairway to the Fitness Room and an in-house Hydra Greek restaurant. Guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms with comfy beds, Illy coffee, and high-end toiletries; however, some have noted that controlling the room temperature can be an issue. Its location on Howe Street also puts it near the art gallery and excellent restaurants, with a Lindt store conveniently located in the Lobby.

decent location and room size

convenient location queen room comfortable bed complicated system mediocre coffee unhelpful staff

The location was really convenient. it was close to many attractions i wanted to see. the room was a beautiful queen room. It had a good amount of space for one person. the bed was comfortable and i slept well.

The elevator system felt unnecessarily complicated! you have to pre-select your floor. the coffee from the machine was not good. i also found the staff at check-in a bit unhelpful. They seemed rushed and not very cute.

Central Stay with Good Service

spacious room heated floor

The staff were helpful and friendly. They let me check in early, my room was available. The room was spacious and had a luxurious ensuite with a heated floor. It was also very eco friendly.

The room was noisy at night. I could hear clubbers, sirens, and vehicles. I should have brought ear plugs.
