Search Best Hotels in Bowen Island

For the past few months my wife has required 24 hour care and this has been very stressful on me - I wanted some respite. On the Internet I found the Artisan Suites and spent two delightful nights there - spacious and very nicely furnished room, very clean and with a nice view. I had dinner in the village and breakfast in the cafe right underneath my room. An ideal spot for just what I needed. Nigel

We initially booked one night here because it was close to the ferry. The service was fantastic, the room was great and we enjoyed the location so much that we altered our plans to stay here two additional times (rather than in Vancouver itself) during our road trip. The motel offers basic amenities, but has wifi and the room was clean and suited our needs quite well.

We decided to do the 'Circle Route' from Comox Little River Ferry, through the Sunshine Coast, then from Vancouver to Nanaimo, and back up to the Comox Valley. Since we never drove the Sunshine Coast before, we didn't reserve overnight accommodation thinking there was plenty of hotels...wrong decision! Anyways, as the sun set into darkness, we went on-line and found the Gibson Garden Hotel, and even better was that they offered a 'Last Minute Deal' price, so we reserved a room and continued driving until arrival. Once there, we were warmly greeted by Emily who quickly checked us in and explained how things worked. When we opened our hotel room (3rd Floor Mezzanine) we were very impressed with a large bed and new linen sheets. There was TWO padded comfortable chairs (why do hotels usually give just one chair??) and a table, which was perfect as we enjoyed a late night snack right in our room. The bathroom was large enough, bath products in wall dispensers, and hot water and newer towels. The A/C unit worked very well, the fridge was cold, the TV had plenty of channels, and in the morning the coffee maker did the trick. And best of all, the pool is large, wonderful, warm and very refreshing. For sure I would recommend the Gibson Garden Hotel, and if we do the Sunshine Coast again, we'll pre-book here before leaving home! Cheers, Paul

Business apartment layout, kitchen and restaurant Wi-Fi, etc., the beautiful university vision, quiet and safe, super fast check-in, no deposit required, friendly staff, a great UBC journey.

If you’re after an extra bit of luxury to what seams to be a B&B, then this is worth the visit. Location in West Vancouver is so peaceful and although it’s a bit of a walk to the local restaurants, I’d be happy to stay hear again.

The hotel is located in North Vancouver. The layout of the hotel is modest, clean, neat and simple. The front desk service is enthusiastic (I still do n’t know how to communicate in English), but the service staff will mark the main tourist attractions of Vancouver on the map and be patient. Easy parking and easy access to attractions by public transport. If breakfast can be provided, it will be perfect for travelers from other countries. Recommended

Easy to drive, there are places to eat around
