Carey Centre on UBC Campus

I stayed here with my daughter who had a swim meet at UBC.This location is perfect, can walk everywhere.We never felt unsafe.Had to Uber for groceries because just a lot of corner stores around.Carey centre itself is clean and quiet.The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because every morning and any time we spent in our room we where very congested. Had to go to drug store for congestion meds. Not sure what caused it.On the whole it was a pretty good stay.

The rooms were very clean and spacious. Location is good and the UBC environment is really nice.The only downside is their very strict check in and check out time. Please let people enter their rooms before 4 pm. They are paying you enough to be flexible with them and hire extra workers.Invest in making sure the rooms are ready by 2 pm so that if people come, tired from a long travel, you don't have to make them wait for another hour or two which can be interpreted as off putting or poor customer service (not being flexible and accommodating to customers).This was a constructive feedback. Otherwise, It is a great place to stay..

Very basic hotel, No Air-condition so slightlywarm rooms during summer. A Hispanic ( Chinese lady )server literally chose what I could eat. When she put one small pieces of sausage into my plate, I asked her to add more she showed a very disgusting expression and told me in a loud voice that I could only take one pieces, I requested her to be little polite and asked for her name, she started shouting and said No Name, then she asked us to leave the breakfast room and go to reception and complain.I have traveled the world but never had such experience ever before the hotel must take some action as I have seen smilar reviews in Google and booking.com , people have been complaining about her but to my surprise she is still serving here.We stayed there for 3 days but never went for breakfast again .She must understand that she is into hospitality business and even if she wants to say no there is a polite way of saying.Anyway I will not recommend this property to anyone, as the hotel has never replied to any of the reviews on Google so I am assuming they are not reading the same.

Would only recommend booking here if you are looking only for a place to sleep. Don’t even shower, the shower wasn’t cleaned properly and had an awful smell. Bedsheets were uncomfortable, other guests were incredibly loud in the halls in the morning while trying to sleep.The entire building also has very strong Christian theming throughout the entire building and this is not advertised well. Be aware of that if this makes you uncomfortable.

Was perfect for what we needed it for- a 1 night stay. Clean, quiet facilities. Easy self check-in. Wonderful quiet area in the middle of UBC Campus with cafes and restaurants nearby. No A/C, but the last week of May with the window open and the room’s fan, we slept cooly.

This is the worse Hotel I'd ever been. I was provided a wrong information regarding the room. No air-conditioning , very poor small fans and the sofa bed was disgusting. ... lots of hair on the pillow so with the sheets.The worse thing is that they asked for parking payment and was told it $20 per night x2 should be 40 X 13percent tax = 45.20 total but I got charged for 52.08.I don't know how did they get that number.Worse hotel id ever been... even a 2 star hotel in Europe provide free parking.Theresa

Very good hotel with nice service and really good breakfast while being cheap. The only bad thing is the location quite far from the centre.

I was booked at these accommodations for work. During a bit of a heatwave, the upper floors on northwest side of the building get up to approximately 30°C inside the room with very poor air circulation and no air conditioning.Rooms were 'ok'. Blankets and sheets were very poor quality and made sleeps pretty uncomfortable during the heatwave, especially.The location was optimal for where I was working during my 1 week stay.

I would recommend Carey Center to everyone. It has that nice University feel, when you go outside its all trees, and it feel studious. As Vancouver is so pricey everywhere, you really get a good deal in Carey Center. only thing, is that there was no air con. But the rooms were clean, but had to pay a bit for parking. Great lil find Thank you for your hospitality.
