This is short summary of our two night stay…read more Rooms 1, 2, 3 are on 1st floor. 4&5 on 2nd floor and room 6 is in the basement. We stayed in room #3 that has AC, This one is an en-suite bedroom. Room 3 seems to be the smallest one compare to all others. We did peek into room #1 and it was larger. Pros: #1: close proximity to English Bay and #1 rated Stanley Park. Within walking distance to many restaurants. Stanley Park has Brewery that is within 5 minute walking distance from the Inn. #2: free parking spaces (3) in the back if space is available. must request ahead of time. #3: very romantic, cozy setting with lots of furnishings to go with name like English Bay Inn. Had port wine with several glasses to use. #4: Yes, the breakfast and the friendly staff serving you in the morning. The staff is very personable and paid attention to details. Cons: #3 being the smallest, we did not have enough room to open the suitcase fully but somehow managed it. If you are big, you will definitely hate this room. Overall, we will definitely stay again and recommend to others

This is the cutest Bed & Breakfast inns ever. It's nestled between a lot of tall apartment…read morebuildings, hiding a bit as a little treasure should. We just checked out, and during this time of the year (May) there are beautiful flower blooms and weather to go with the charming house. My parents booked unit 6, the attic. My husband, son, my brother and I had unit 5, the basement. For Unit 6, you enter into a seating area, then go up another flight of stairs to another small seating area, the bed area and a pretty good sized bathroom. Our basement until (in photos) has a small kitchen, small dining room, and two sleeping areas. My brother was with us just one night so he took the back bedroom, and when he left our son took the bedroom. With either situation the basement was enough room for us. If you are visiting with a child, I'd recommend booking the basement to keep the rest of the house quiet for the other guests. The only downside for the basement unit is that you don't get the wonderful breakfast with it. My parents and my husband and I switched off going to breakfast on different mornings since the attic unit does include breakfast. They thoroughly enjoyed their omelet breakfast and declared that we'll enjoy our turn the next day - and we did enjoy it this morning! We had muffins, fruit salad, and delicious Eggs Benedict with corned beef, small salad, sprouts and grilled tomatoes. A gentleman sitting in front of me had the omelets the day before and asked for fruit and cereal instead today, and they happily supplied him with what he asked for. The house is obviously an older house. It's nothing like staying at a brand new five star hotel, but you can say that's all part of the charm of it. When I visit Vancouver again, I plan to book with them again as long as they have availability. The Inn is also very nicely located. You can walk a short block down to the bay and take a nice walk one way to Stanley Park (the entrance is one block north), or walk south to a popular beach and restaurant area. If you are driving, make sure to request a reserved parking space (there are only 3). I'm a fan, and if you enjoy character and supporting small quality businesses with caretakers who want to make your trip enjoyable, book with them!

I've gotten into the habit of renting an apartment for a few weeks while on vacation and I'm always looking for interesting, comfortable, and livable places to stay and Kitsilano suites fit the bill perfectly and exceeded my expectations. There are four suites of varying size in this lovely restored historic home in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver. We stayed in the smaller upstairs studio, 202. Calling a studio is not giving it enough credit. It has more space than some apartments I've lived in! Everything is thoughtfully arranged and set up for ensure you have everything you need, no matter if you are staying one or two days or a month. The kitchen is better equipped than most homes and you can really cook up a storm in there, or just relax with some great wine, cheese and smoked salmon on the deck/porch out the back of the unit (there are great places within walking distance to buy things to eat in or dine out). Lots of thoughtful touches from the art, to the wifi, to the linens, to the slow closing cabinet doors so when you are cooking up a three course meal in the kitchen at 11:00 PM you won't disturb the other people staying here. Only two things to be aware of, if you have mobility issues you probably will have trouble climbing out of the great claw footed tube and the bed in 202 is low to the ground, but the other units might serve you better. Also, you can usually hear what is going on in the hall/stairs, so you just have to be respectful of the other guests and not go crazy when you come in late. Just ask Mark if you have any concerns. Speaking of Mark, he is the owner, and a great host. Very helpful and professional from the booking to checking in to making sure we have all we needed, or giving suggestions of things in town. Plus he is just a plain nice guy! I loved staying in his place and he is a great representative of the spirt of Vancouver. This was a perfect area of town to stay in as well. Quiet and homey but with plenty to do on 4th or on Broadway, just short walks away. We walked to many places in Vancouver, as there are tons of things to do in a 3-4 mile radius. Heck, downtown is only a 40 minute walk away! And if you are not a walker, the bus system in Vancouver is great and easy. There are a number of buses that stop near the suites that made getting around town a snap. Plus, the airport is only 20 minutes away by taxi (at least at 5:00 am!) so when it is time to leave it is a snap to get there. Next time you are in Vancouver, try Kitsialno Suites instead of a hotel. It will make your trip just that much more comfortable and memorable.

We stayed in Vancouver for two nights, and we stayed at Barclay House. Because we were arriving…read morelate, they sent us check-in instructions. Other than the pre-reservation communications, they were hands off--which was fine for us. We also were able to leave our bags on-site after check out, since our flight out was later in the day. The room was nice and cozy. Not fancy like a newly renovated hotel, but cozy for a B&B and felt like a house in a neighborhood, rather than a 30-story hotel. So that was nice. Breakfast was great each morning. I recognized Yumiko's accent as Japanese, so we talked in Japanese (her, fluent, me, poorly). Warm pound cake/muffin, fruits, coffee, and warm bagel with eggs/smoked salmon. Was a great way to start each morning. Barclay House is a few blocks from Robson Street, so it was easy to walk to and explore. Also close to Stanley Park, so a good central location for us. The next time we go to Vancouver, we'll look to stay at Barclay House.

We needed a quick and easy place to spend three days in Vancouver this July, and based on the…read moreprice, we thought we would try here. It's in a really pretty neighborhood and in walking distance of downtown if you don't mind walking. It's also close to the running path which is nice to take either across to Stanley Park or over to Granville Island. Thank goodness it was on the cooler side because our room had no air conditioning, and we had to MacGyver a fan in the propped open window to get the cool air in. Worked like a charm! The bed was comfortable if you already have metal rods in your back, and the breakfast made me believe Canada just doesn't believe in meat in the morning. I believe in the power of the pig. It's what's for breakfast! They really only had two options: eggs or pancakes, but there was fresh-made baked goods which were a nice touch. One turn off is they only serve breakfast from 8:00-10:00 so we fit a run in before and by that point a few people had eaten and left. The family who runs the place is friendly, but always seems a bit flustered. Overall, go here if you have a few days and don't mind walking, but beware, for us late night eaters, NOTHING was open past 9:00 on that side of the river.

We don't know Vancouver that well but needed a place to stay while moving our daughter into UBC…read moreresidence. Windsor House was easy to find, had parking available and plenty of room for the three of us to stay comfortably. We stayed in the basement suite, which had a queen bed and sofa bed as well as a bathroom and small kitchen. There wasn't much to the kitchen but we appreciated the small fridge. There was a direct outside door to the basement suite which turned out to be quite an advantage. We didn't know the area well, and decided to bring all our daughter's possessions inside for safe keeping. Breakfast was okay, though the breakfast room can get quite packed and there are no vegan options (our daughter is vegan). Finally, Windsor Guest House was a nice little walk to the Broadway-City Hall train station and to the B-line which is the main bus that goes to UBC. I decided to give 3 stars based on the mouse that we saw come in under the door. We chased it out and blocked the crack after that episode.

First, the positives: great location, lovely day time staff. You will be walking distance to just…read moreabout all the sites you want in Vancouver if you stay at O Canada. The day time staff were really lovely and kind. They stored our bags for a late departure, left very good instructions for a late arrival, no complaints there. The decor is tired and old. We booked two rooms (we were in the Master Suite on the ground floor and the Penthouse, despite booking 8 months in advance and asking to be on the upper floor to be closer to our kids on the top floor), one with A/C, the other without. The one without (Master Suite) was fine the first night, sweltering the remaining two. A standing fan in the room was insufficient and cut out if you went above 2nd speed. Bathroom is one step above a hostel bathroom with a 1970s spigot, no working fan either and the beds were saggy. For what we paid, this hotel really could use some sprucing up. Perhaps the other rooms are better. The master suite was not great. The Penthouse was better. The evening staff person had a 1 1/2 hour personal phone call on speakerphone reverberating throughout the house. We couldn't enjoy the common area at all because of her loud, lengthy conversation. Not the sort of B&B experience we've come to expect. A quibble about the breakfast. You have to pre-order which is totally fine, but the one day when we really needed to leave early, the breakfast didn't come to us for 45 minutes after sitting. It threw off our visit to the suspension bridge, putting us on a bus an hour later than desired and we were stuck with huge crowds. We ended up not even having the breakfast at the hotel the next day as we didn't want to have a repeat...we far preferred our wonderful coffee and breakfast at 49 parallel roasters, which I recommend too. All in all, would we do it again? If you get a spruced up room, perhaps. If you are visiting outside of the hotter times of year, sure. But avoid the master suite and if you have plans that are on the early side, make sure to let them know that you are hoping for an on time breakfast.

The online information had said nothing about there being pets on site but there was a large and furry dog. One of us has very serious pet allergies, so we needed to book another place. Graham was snarky about this and charged us for two nights stay anyhow - their policy but not the graceful thing to do given the unadvertised dog. Also the outside stairs had no railings and the other of us has mobility issues. Graham was snarky about this as well. In general the experience reflects an older British attitude combining tolerance of squalour with complete disregard of customer service. For the price, there are many cleaner, friendlier places in Vancouver.
