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.

One thing to note: there’s some occasional truck noise at night, but it’s minimal and doesn’t disrupt the overall experience. Overall, we were really happy with the value and comfort of this charming townhouse.

During my stay, we had a few friendly chats, and she was always happy to share helpful tips and personal recommendations on things to do around Vancouver. The room itself is bright, clean, and cozy—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. Even the bathroom was spotless and well-maintained.
