Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown (Burnaby)
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 a well reviewed, predictable hotel facing a large shopping mall, with a pool, a gym and free parking listed. Skip it if price is your main filter, because our Budget pick scores slightly higher for about €97 less a night.

Shoppers and anyone who likes having food options on the doorstep are the natural fit. Guests say the hotel sits directly opposite a large shopping mall and is surrounded by restaurants and eateries.
It also suits travellers who want a straightforward stay with a few extras: a pool, a gym, free parking, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are all listed. The large number of reviews, 663, makes the score more reliable than most.
If you want the lowest price, this is not it. And if you want to stay in downtown Vancouver, Burnaby as a whole is the wrong base.
Location and getting around
The address is 4405 Central Boulevard. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10, higher than our Budget pick.
Central Vancouver sights are far. Harbour Centre is about 10.2 km away, roughly 128 minutes on foot, and the Vancouver Art Gallery about 10.5 km, around 131 minutes. These are straight-line estimates. Plan on public transport or a taxi for those trips, and check the route from the address yourself.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.6 out of 10 from 663 reviews, third of the 5 eligible properties we compared. It has the most reviews of our three Burnaby picks.
The location opposite the mall and the restaurants around it get the most praise. Staff are described as friendly, efficient and helpful. Our data does not include a summary of recurring complaints, so read recent reviews to spot any pattern before booking.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
The reference price was €212.41 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is about €425 for two nights and exactly the median of our sample. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
For that money you get a 3-star hotel with a pool, a gym, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning listed. Breakfast styles listed are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, Asian, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Accent Inns Burnaby, our Budget pick, costs €115.02 a night and scores 8.7, but guests say it serves no breakfast and it lists no pool. Element by Marriott Vancouver Metrotown, our Luxury pick, costs €265.20 with 4 stars and an 8.7 score. This hotel sits between the two on price.
Why it made our top 3
Our Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and reference price together. It does not simply reward the cheapest hotel. Out of 5 eligible properties in Burnaby, this one pairs a solid 8.6 with the largest review base of our picks and a price right at the median, plus breakfast options and a pool.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check each on the booking page for your dates.
Confirm whether your rate includes breakfast, since that changes the value against our Budget pick. Check pool hours and parking availability. If you plan to spend most days in central Vancouver, work out travel time from Central Boulevard first.
