Liked: The location was fantastic, the hosts were helpful and friendly, the free breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in!

Disliked: The showers were tricky because they heated up extremely quickly, so be warned!

Liked: Super friendly, home away from home, very nicely done up house, all neat and tidy.

Disliked: It seems a bit nit picky I know, but the blind in the window of my room just wasn't big enough so it never got dark. I feel that fitting curtains or bigger blinds would make it just a bit more comfortable for jetlagged guests! Also there is no longer a computer for the internet as it seems everyone's more technologically advanced than me and brings their own...

Liked: The hostel has a very positive personal vibe about it. You can tell that the hostel owners have put a lot of work into it and they're making you feel very welcome. The location is excellent: Right in the middle of downtown Vancouver, in a historical house which has been nicely refurbished. The breakfast offer is better than other standard offers. There are two cats which we found great but if you're allergic you might wanna check that out first.

Liked: A very nice and cozy House - beautifully equipped with nice furniture and all kinds of material (like for example lots of DVDs, that make you want to stay in doors, although you are actually on holyday and have planned to visit Vancouver ;-)) It is comparatively quiet inside the house, concearning that it's right down town - maybe it is because the house itself is rather hidden from the street, which makes the place a kind of cool secret in a way...^^. The do-it-yourself-breakfast contains lots and lots of opportnities that keep your meals in the morning a pleasure - it also is so much fun cooking in the kitchen. The staff is absolutely competent in giving hints and recommendations for all kinds of activities in Vancouver and also all over BC and always good for a nice litte (or even long^^) chat. Also they really make you feel like a friend at home!!! - thank you so much, Janine and Ken; we enjoyed it so much at your place!!!!!

Disliked: ...because of the weather during winter-times, we were unable to have brakfast on the comfortable-looking terrace/garden...^^

Liked: This guesthouse was perfect for a short stay in Vancouver; I loved everything about it. Excellent location downtown, handy for getting around. The owners are very friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. The house itself is very clean, quiet, and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here!

Disliked: Unfortunately depending what room you're staying in, there might not be a view or even much sunlight since the guesthouse is bracketed by tall buildings, but that is the only fault I can find with it. It's a great place to stay and I'd definitely visit again.
