Element by Marriott Vancouver Metrotown
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the most upscale of our Burnaby picks, with 4 stars, a pool and a location guests rate 9.2, close to the mall and public transport. Skip it if you have a restricted diet and count on breakfast, or if paying about €150 a night more than our Budget pick for the same guest score feels hard to justify.

This is the pick for travellers who want a more polished stay in Burnaby and value being able to walk to shops, restaurants and public transport links, as guests describe. The listed pool, gym, restaurant, terrace and family rooms make it a fit for couples, families and business trips alike.
It is less of a match for people with dietary restrictions. Guests say the hot breakfast dishes change daily but options for restricted diets are lacking. Value hunters should also note that our Budget pick has the exact same 8.7 score.
Location and getting around
The address is 5988 Willingdon Avenue, and guests give the location 9.2 out of 10, the best of our three Burnaby picks. Reviews mention walking distance to the shopping mall, restaurants and public transport.
Downtown Vancouver is far on foot. Harbour Centre is about 9.9 km away, roughly 124 minutes walking, and the Vancouver Art Gallery about 10.3 km, around 129 minutes. These are straight-line estimates. Use public transport or a taxi, and check the route before you go.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.7 out of 10 from 143 reviews, joint first of the 5 eligible properties we compared. That is a smaller review base than our other two Burnaby picks.
Staff get praise for friendly, helpful service, including help with luggage. The location near the mall and transit is the other repeated plus. On the minus side, breakfast has daily changing hot dishes, but guests with restricted diets find too few options.
Price and what you get, compared with our other picks
The reference price was €265.20 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is about €530 for two nights, above the €212.41 sample median. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
For that you get an official 4-star hotel with a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a terrace, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning listed. A buffet breakfast is listed. Inclusion in your rate is not confirmed. Free parking is not on its listed facilities, so ask about parking costs if you drive.
Accent Inns Burnaby, our Budget pick, costs €115.02 a night with the same 8.7 score. Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown (Burnaby), our Best Value pick, costs €212.41 and scores 8.6. The extra money here buys a fourth star, the top location score and the pool and restaurant combination.
Why it made our top 3
Our Luxury slot prioritises five-star hotels, and a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. Among the 5 eligible Burnaby properties, Element by Marriott Vancouver Metrotown met that bar with an official 4 stars and a joint top score of 8.7.
Before you book
