Coziest cutest B&B on Earth

Barclay House is the cutest place ever!! My mom & stayed to see the Eras Tour in Vancouver and it was the perfect place for the most magical weekend!! I’m absolutely obsessed. Dennis was attentive and a fantastic host! We stayed in the mountain room and loved it! It’s a great location and I can’t express enough how cozy and at-home I felt during my stay. The breakfast was great and the room was spacious enough with comfy beds also. If you’re looking for a great B&B in Vancouver this is the one!! Thank you Dennis!!!!

Avoid Barclay House Bed and Breakfast

Where do I begin? The terrible breakfasts (dry, inedible "quesadilla" with a paper-thin ham-like substance, rubbery eggs)? The filthy windowsills and carpeting? How about the chandelier that hadn't been dusted in many, many years? Or the shower head that spewed literally half the water down the wall?
The mat at the bottom of the porch stairs was growing moss, and was so filthy that muck covered the porch stairs from people coming in. The shampoo dispenser was empty. No clean cups or glasses were provided with daily service. Heating in the place was terrible to non-existent. The ceiling canister-light bulb was missing altogether. The small desk in the room was stained all over.
In short, Barclay House needs a serious power wash, fresh paint, replacement of old, tired furniture, etc. This is especially true because they charge top-tier prices.
I have noted that management responses to negative reviews have been to attack the reviewer and to call into question their credibility. I also note that a large number of reviews come from people who have only 1 review in TripAdvisor. There are also many reviews of people with fewer than 5.
Also, it is not the customer's responsibility to report to the management problems with the facility such as existed here during our stay. It's part of management's job to ensure that everything is clean and in working order prior to the arrival of every guest, whether it's a bed and breakfast or a hotel, or any other lodging.
On the up side, Barclay house is in an excellent location, had reliable free parking during our stay, and the bed was quite comfortable.

Best place to stay in Vancouver

The best place to stay in Vancouver! This is the cosiest b&b and the service was amazing. We so excited to arrive to the house after flying in from Aus to see all the Christmas decorations (the best!) and a comfortable room.
The breakfast was great, fruit, coffee, muffin and egg quesadilla - we were so full.
The location is in a nice/friendly neighbourhood in the city and it’s close to everything you need.
Thanks so much for having us!

Fantastic.

The staff made the stay absolutely special. They were kind and attentive. The food was fantastic. The rooms were cozy and everything we needed. The convenient location was awesome, just a couple blocks away from the nearest bus stops or train stations. I will be returning here next year.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was so comfortable, quiet and safe everyday. Dennis was a great host, he was so kind, charming and helpful with suggestions about places to visit. The location was so good, near everything, tour buses, restaurants and markets. The breakfast was delicious too. We highly recommend the house, every detail was deeply appreciated. Thanks for everything Dennis. Rosa and Sheila
