Vanest

Stayed at a B&B managed by a Chinese host. Originally booked a hostel, but due to a staff error, it was already fully booked and we couldn’t check in. The team quickly arranged a transfer to another nearby B&B just a 10-minute drive away—no hassle at all. The alternative place was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. While the initial mix-up was a bit stressful, the staff handled it professionally and with great care. Their quick response and willingness to help made a big difference. Overall, despite the hiccup, the experience was positive, especially considering the value and friendly service. Definitely worth recommending.

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 villa itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a peaceful retreat after a busy day. With everything you need right on site, it's ideal for both short stays and longer visits. Great value, great vibe, and highly recommend for travelers looking for convenience and comfort in a quiet neighborhood.

Great Place to Stay

Staying at Rambla in Solarino House was an absolute delight. Located just two blocks from Sydney Road, the property is perfectly positioned in the heart of bustling Brunswick—within walking distance to great cafes, restaurants, and public transit. We booked a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a private balcony and outdoor furniture, which made mornings and evenings so relaxing. The unit was bright and airy, with plenty of natural light and good blackout blinds for restful sleep. The kitchenette was well-equipped with everything we needed—pots, pans, cutlery, and cookware—making it easy to prepare meals on-site. The only minor hiccup was the digital access system, which took a few tries to figure out initially, but once we got the hang of it, it worked fine. Overall, this place offers excellent value, comfort, and convenience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver who wants a home-like stay in a vibrant neighborhood.

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.

The Sunshine House-Free Parking

I was truly impressed with my stay at The Sunshine House—everything exceeded my expectations. From the warm and welcoming staff to the spotless, well-maintained rooms, it’s clear that attention to detail matters here. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing made for a peaceful night’s sleep. What stood out most was the complimentary parking—huge plus when you're exploring Vancouver by car. 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.

Douglas Guest House

Our stay at Douglas Guest House was absolutely outstanding! The property is impeccably maintained, and with spring in full swing, the garden was bursting with vibrant blooms—truly a peaceful retreat. The staff went above and beyond, offering thoughtful local tips that made our trip even more memorable. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared—especially the homemade pastries, which were a highlight. Located just steps away from public transit, we had no trouble getting around Vancouver’s key spots. This place truly offers comfort, charm, and great value. We’re already planning our next visit and will definitely book here again.
