The location is fantastic—just a short walk from a variety of great dining options, including a cozy Chinese restaurant that’s perfect for a quick bite. The suite itself is quiet and well-designed, offering a peaceful retreat after a long day exploring the city. I especially appreciated having a full kitchen and a private balcony—being able to cook simple meals in the room made my stay much more convenient and budget-friendly.

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 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.
Barclay Hotel
Staying at the Barclay Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Vancouver. Right by the waterfront and just steps from the city center, every morning started with a breathtaking view of the sea. The area feels very modern and vibrant, with plenty of trendy cafes, shops, and restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself is sleek and well-designed—spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and quiet air conditioning that barely makes a sound. What stood out most was how great the value was for such a prime location. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers comfort, convenience, and style all in one. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver.
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.
Tropicana Suite Hotel
Staying at Tropicana Suite Hotel in Vancouver was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to transit, restaurants, and shops. While the hotel isn’t brand new, it’s impeccably clean and well-maintained. I was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with a stunning city view overlooking the water and sunset—truly breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond: on the first night, I mentioned the room felt chilly, and within minutes, a warm blanket was brought up. Later, I noticed we’d forgotten to use a dish towel after cooking, so I didn’t wash the dishes. When housekeeping came by, they not only left two fresh dish towels but also took the time to wash the dishes for us—such a thoughtful touch! And when we checked out late due to our evening flight, they offered free luggage storage without hesitation. It’s rare to find such genuine care and attention to detail. This stay exceeded all expectations—comfortable, convenient, and memorable. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in Vancouver.
St. Clair Hotel Hostel
St. Clair Hotel Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the check-in process smooth and friendly. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from downtown Vancouver, with everything you need within easy reach: restaurants, shops, public transit, and attractions. The place is spotless, clean, and well-maintained throughout. I loved the cozy yet modern vibe of the hostel, and the shared spaces felt safe and comfortable. It’s perfect for solo travelers or small groups looking for an affordable, hassle-free stay in a vibrant city. Highly recommend this gem—it’s not just good value, it’s genuinely great.
