Hotel recommendations near UBC?

Thinking of doing the world cup in June at the University of British Columbia.

Anyone have suggestions for nearby hotels? Those listed in the entry info seem too far away.

To get around, would you rent a car from the airport (YVR), or perhaps rely on taxis?

Thanks!

All the hotels are quite a long way from UBC. Your best bet is to contact the organizers and see if you're able to get onsite accommodations... yes I know you missed the deadline, but it's worth it. Last year, I think they allowed people rooms even though they missed the deadline.

Failing that… see if you can get either a bed and breakfast place in the area or a hotel on Broadway (the Broadway bus goes straight to UBC).

Car or taxi… hmmm I guess it depends on how much driving you want to do while visiting Vancouver. If you have time to sightsee or you want to party/ go out for dinner. It might be worth getting a car.

Vancouver is a very beautiful city and worth exploring.

If you're just there to fence take a taxi. It’s about a 20-30 minute taxi ride from the airport to UBC. If you stay at a hotel, most of them have shuttles.

PM me if you have any further questions.
