Diana's Luxury Bed and Breakfast

I rarely leave reviews, but after a four-day stay at Diana's Luxury B&B, I felt compelled to warn others. This place couldn’t be further from luxury—it’s more like a cluttered storage unit than a home. Every inch of floor and wall space is packed with cheap, mass-market knickknacks—let’s be honest, they’re not even decorative, just messy. No air conditioning forced the host to keep steel shutters closed all day, making the interior stuffy and eerie. The bed was uncomfortable, with low-quality bedding that caused back pain each morning—plus, the sheets were mismatched and stained with bleach marks. Breakfast was worse: a hard-boiled egg, dry bread, a small yogurt, and half a fruit. Minimal, unappetizing, and uninspired. Even the spreads—jam, peanut butter, etc.—were in large jars reused over and over by countless guests. It’s gross, honestly. We paid a lot for four nights, and it completely ruined our trip. I truly feel cheated. Please think twice before booking here—there are far better, more comfortable, and hygienic options available at a fraction of the cost. Don’t waste your money or time.

Vancouver ten

The location is excellent—just a short walk from downtown Vancouver and very convenient for public transit. The only downside is that the hosts only speak Chinese, so guests who don’t understand Mandarin will need to rely on a translation app. That said, it’s a minor hurdle considering how well-maintained the villa is, the comfortable layout, and the peaceful neighborhood. Everything else was spot-on: clean, quiet, and great value for money. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Vancouver.

The location is perfect: close to public transit, surrounded by great restaurants and cafes, and just a short walk from downtown attractions. I’ve stayed at many hotels before, but this one stands out for its genuine hospitality and value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver—this is definitely my top pick for future trips.

Balfour House

It's truly disappointing to see a property with heritage status allowed to deteriorate so badly. There are multiple holes in the roof, the yard and garden are completely neglected, and the surrounding area shows no signs of maintenance. Water pressure is weak, and the temperature control is inconsistent—during winter, the heating isn’t sufficient, making it necessary to wear a jacket just to stay warm. It’s clear the owners don’t care much about the property, let alone guest comfort. Yet they’re still happy to take your money. Avoid this place—your money would be better spent elsewhere. The condition is only going to get worse, and more complaints will follow. Eventually, the City of Vancouver may be forced to shut it down, which it absolutely should. This isn’t a proper B&B anymore—it’s a warning sign.

West Vancouver Guesthouse

The property was extremely disappointing. The walls were filthy and covered in grime, and I noticed bugs along the baseboards, floors, bathroom, and even in the shared kitchen area—this level of uncleanliness is unacceptable. There was no TV in the room, no tissues, no drinking glasses, and not even a single bar of soap provided. It felt like staying in an old, poorly maintained house with no attention to basic hygiene or guest comfort. For the price, this place offers absolutely no value. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and functional stay.

English Bay Hotel

Staying at English Bay Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Vancouver. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with ocean views from the room and a short walk to restaurants, shops, and even a local Chinese supermarket. I loved being able to grab fresh ingredients and cook a simple meal in the fully equipped kitchen. We warmed up milk and reheated bread using the microwave in the morning—so convenient! It felt like home away from home. The combination of easy access to nature, dining, and amenities made this stay truly special. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver.

The Cambie Hostel Gastown

Staying at The Cambie Hostel Gastown was an excellent experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, compact but well-organized with comfortable bedding that made for a great night’s sleep. Common areas are thoughtfully designed—great kitchen facilities, working laundry machines, and free coffee available throughout the day. A small tip: bring your own toiletries, towel, and slippers as these aren’t provided, which makes things much more convenient. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the nearest subway station and right next to the iconic Steam Clock. It’s also super easy to get to North Vancouver without transfers. Whether you're exploring downtown or heading out on a day trip, this hostel offers both comfort and convenience at a fantastic value. Highly recommend for budget travelers and solo explorers alike.
