After a very long night at what I thought was a youth hostel, but ended up being more of a halfway house, I found Scwachays. What a blessing. I spent two glorious nights at this boutique hotel. From the time I walked in the door, I felt like part of the family. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. There's a very special spirit here that was palpable throughout my stay.

They also have a exellent gallerey on ground floor.Locaiton is good, Chinatown and Gastown are very accesible. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. They have an underground parking lot with secured entrances. We would love to stay again.”

“The customer service was excellent. They were very accomodating. I liked that each room is unique. I love that this accomodation help First Nations and has artist in residence for them. It is going something to undo the gentrification that has happened and that continues to happen.”
