Rooms are clean, the building and rooms feel secure with codes and locks. Building is furnished in a decent manner. Staff are helpful when asked about concerns. Local area is not too bad, very local to restaurants, bars and the zoo; only concern with the area is the 7eleven on the corner and the alleyway attracts the displaced. parking is very limited but kept clean and well lit.

This was one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at! Beautiful building, great hotel room, simple check in. Cool neighborhood, close to many other great neighborhoods. My room was far larger than I imagined, felt very palatial. System for entering was simple, though I read the instructions too quickly and required some assistance (which was there when I needed). There’s a fantastic little restaurant on the street level - only open for brunch hours - which has great food and coffee, etc. I’ll go back for sure.

We had the fabulous penthouse with an amazing city/bay view . The room is stunning . The cafe downstairs is worth visiting this property alone . Lee and Mel serve up delicious food and manage this hotel with warm hospitality .

What a wonderful place to stay for a solo stay! It was my first time doing a solo trip away. The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the shower. The way the shower is built allows water to flow out to the bathroom floor which ended up going to the main room. Other than that it was a 10/10 stay and would recommend to anyone!

Centrally located! The only hotel in Hillcrest. Why? The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful. I loved the view. It was well worth the cost.

The room was so cute! My boyfriend and I only stayed for one night, check in was so smooth. Contactless. Parking was a little expensive next to the hotel. The hotel was so clean, no smoke smell.

I recently stayed at the Abpopa Hotel and it truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the offsite staff were welcoming and efficient. My room was absolutely spotless — clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room to relax and unwind after a full day of exploring. The location is fantastic. Everything you could want is within easy walking distance: grocery stores, fun entertainment options, and a great variety of restaurants. It made getting around effortless and added so much convenience to my stay. The views from the hotel were stunning — I could have sat by the window for hours just soaking it all in. Nights were wonderfully quiet, giving me the peaceful sleep I was hoping for. Parking was available, which is always a bonus, though it did feel a bit crowded and came with a higher price tag than I expected. That was really the only minor drawback during an otherwise excellent visit. Overall, Abpopa Hotel delivered a comfortable, convenient, and memorable stay. I’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great base in the area!

This has been my Favourite! stay in quite some time. I booked the Panoramic room and was not disappointed! It is the largest room offered. Essentially a loft apartment. Watching the sunset was amazing ( I posted to my socials it was so beautiful). The next morning, I wandered down to the outdoor cafe in the lobby and treated myself to an amazing breakfast and latte. It is a quirky, funky and fabulous hotel. NOTHING ordinary about it. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!
