West Coast Suites at UBC

What guests think

At West Coast Suites at UBC, travellers highlight spacious, apartment-style suites with well equipped kitchens, a quiet campus setting near transit, and consistently friendly staff, making it a practical base for visiting the university, hospital, or nearby trails.

Rooms are generally clean, modern, and comfortable, with family-friendly layouts. Common frustrations include confusing check-in in a separate building with limited signage, occasional parking difficulty, intermittent noise transfer, and a few reports of musty odors or dated or limited TVs. Several guests note high prices and that pool access is via the nearby UBC Aquatic Centre for an extra fee, not an on-site amenity. Expect an apartment-style stay that works best for UBC visits and hospital appointments.

We loved almost everything about the property, but the fact that there wasn't a pool to use free of charge was a big disappointment. There are photos of a pool on websites we looked at so we felt misled. We were unpleasantly surprised that we would have to pay $14- 18 per person to use the pool. Other than that though, we're very happy with the hotel.

The check in was great, friendly receptionist, and the room itself was clean and had everything we needed. But the people above and beside us were very loud. We came back around 11 from a concert and there was no where to park, as we had paid for parking. Ran into reception to ask where to park and they were closed! So we had to drive in circles for a while until someone left a spot. Overall it was fine and in a convenient location.

Pleasantly surprised by this stay. Property has clearly been recently renovated and is in excellent condition. Campus life during stay and access to amenities (new Rec and Aquatic facilities) was excellent. Decent food options (albeit too much reliance on chains). Amazing access to ocean views and beach. Will stay again when next traveling with my kids.

This is a nice suite (separate bed/bathroom from the living area and kitchenette). There is an Nespresso Machine, and a kettle (much appreciate the latter). A safe, if you need it. Comfortable bed, nice heat pump for both cooling and heating. Friendly and helpful staff in the main building (which isn't where the suites are; its the next building over, but clearly marked. Close to UBC Bus loop, so easy to go anywhere; parking is affordable, if you arrive by car. There are some nice restaurants in the area and the usual campus style coffee places. So, for the money, its a great deal. Its not downtown, but if you want that, just take a bus. A tub would have been nice, but you can't have everything.

We stayed here for a swim meet at UBC Aquatic Center. It was the ideal location. 5 min walk from the pool. Clean & quiet room. A suite sized room allowed for more breathing space between prelims & finals.

It’s a good place to stay if you are at the university. Clean, air conditioning works great, kitchen is well equipped. The bed is not that comfortable and the price is quite ridiculous for what you get but it is convenient. Parking on the weekend can be difficult but they do provide you a parking pass (it was included for us).

The property was conveniently on campus and near restaurants. The property was generally clean. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. However, the comforter had a terrible musty smell as if it was left wet in a washer for days. We didn't discover this until we got into bed at 11 and were too tired to deal with getting a change. I did tell the front desk when we checked out and they did say they would ket the manager know and and see if they could offer a discount

We were very comfortable in our room -- I would've liked a little bit more housekeeping as the floor got dirty, even though we always took our shoes off. When I called the desk, everyone was very nice, but there were some disconnects with when our room was going to be cleaned. It was cleaned once in our 7 night stay -- would want more.

The area is fully walkable, lots of shops and food, as well as beautiful trails and paths. Incredibly safe and clean part of the city, would come back for sure. The staff were super helpful and kind, the turn down service was easy and quick - the room was impeccably clean and well stocked with tea and Nespresso. 10/10

Comfy bed, well equipped room. Better signage needed to get to check in and especially to navigate from parking options to the actual building with the suites… a map showing all buildings and, importantly, all pedestrian pathways is required. (The map provided was nearly useless). Our stay in the suite was 5 stars but it was just awful wandering around in the cold, dark, rainy night dragging suitcases everywhere looking desperately for the building!

Very difficult checking in. No sign on door indicating where to check in. Yes, was told at a different address, but this is not seen from the street to where UBER or taxis drop you off. Line up in student union building to check in or get laundry soap or machine payment. Nice rooms BUT no TV in bedroom. Only a little TV in front room in front of hid abed. A hotel treat for us is to watch TV in bed, but not here.

Quick two-night stay in Vancouver. Love the hotel, however the check-in is located at a different entrance and we got lost when we arrived and needed to call the hotel and have help. They did help us and guide us to where we need to check in but I think a few more signs up on campus and on the walkways would be helpful.

This is a great location if you need to be near UBC for business or pleasure, or prefer the local neighborhoods to downtown or near the airport, where most hotels are. Easy access on foot, bike, or short drive to the Seawall path and numerous trails in Pacific Spirit Park, short drive or bus ride to Kitsilano neighborhood with lots of great dining and shopping. We also discovered it's literally just behind the UBC Aquatics Centre, which has public hours for indoor lap and family swim. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and kitchens fully equipped for cooking. Staff was very helpful. Great alternative to Air B and B.
