Barclay Hotel

This boutique hotel is a blast from the past. Funky stairwells, wide hallways and the character of the building is everywhere. For the price, this hotel was well worth a visit. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean. We had to ask for a kettle so we could make coffee in our room in the morning (we brought our own supplies - cups, coffee, cream & sugar. There's a Tim Hortons 1/2 a block away & a Cora's breakfast 2 doors down.

The Location is GOOD in Downtown Vancouver… everywhere is walkable, but the gentle hills can take a toll if an extended stay…. But the #6 Bus is handy running along Robson St…. So many food options on Robson St, or a 10 minute walk over the top to Davie St finds many more as well as at the end of the #6 Bus Route at English Bay. I had two stays… a Three Night, and this SIX night…. The room for the six night was better than the three night, better location in the back corner of the hotel as opposed to the front facing onto Occasionally Noisy Robson St… also the bathroom was bigger and in better condition than the first stay.

For the price and the location it felt like a good bargain! The interior of the building was well-kept and staff were polite and friendly. Check in and check out was supremely easy.

Absolutely fine stay for the price in Vancouver. Our room was very spacious and clean and comfortable, we stayed 2 nights but could have stayed more. I liked the architectural charm of the lobby area. Location was unbeatable. You can walk the entire CBD from here, so close to each coast and walkable to stanley park, 15 min. I think people with all the complaints of this property might be a bit fussy.

excellent location easily reachable by the city centre skytrain stop. 15-20 min walk with suitcases through shopping area. The staff were excellent in accommodating us, even changing our room to one at the back as we were an older couple. easy walking distance to most city centre attractions and events. The hotel may be a little dated and worn but it is very clean with towels changed every day and sheets on bed made up each day. good wifi, lots of hot water day and night. It is not a posh hotel and really more an hotel for the budget conscious traveller that needs somewhere safe and clean..
