Spent the last weekend on Joanne's B&B my wife and, we couldn't be happier. The place is beautiful, clean and cozy and the breakfast? Absolute delicious!. Located just 15 minutes from downtown, it is the prefect spot to relax while staying close the citty buzz. We loved every moment, and if you’re looking for a warm, welcoming place to stay in Vancouver, Joanne’s B&B is a fantastic choice!

Joanne couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. My room was spacious with a generous bathroom en suite - great shower with ample hot water … and a handy grab rail for those of us prone to falling over when standing on one leg! Lovely area and very peaceful. Lots of helpful information provided in the room, with maps and info on bus routes to get around. I wouldn’t hesitate to return, or to recommend this b&b.

A fantastic stay! There is space, style, warmth and welcome at House on Dunbar. Joanne is a fantastic host, and her breakfasts can't be topped. The neighbourhood is elegant and wealthy and I was a bit intimidated but we were made totally welcome. Will return again and heartily recommend this lovely bed and breakfast.

Comfortable stay in Vancouver

My wife and I were made very welcome by Joanne. Nothing was too much trouble. Always happy to give advice to where to go and how to get about. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Need to be aware to options for eating out in the area are a bit limited so grab something while you are out and about. There is a kitchen and sitting room available for guests but not there is no oven in the kitchen. We bought a pizza to cook and Joanne was so kind as to cook it in our kitchen for us. Would definitely stay again if in the city.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!

Power was out when we arrived so no internet! Could not contact owners as they are not on site! We opened door and it smelled horribly musty! It was midnight so we stayed. Next morning power back on and the place was filthy—really hadn’t been cleaned before we arrived! Per on bathroom floor, dirt everywhere! We could not get ahold of owner, nor could hotels.com (we booked thru them). Got ahold of them finally and they told me they would work on a refund. So far—I got nothing! I don’t mind paying for 1night as we stayed (we were supposed to stay for 3 night)! Still waiting to hear from them or owner!

Vorab: Ich bin nicht pingelig was Sauberkeit und Zustand der Elektroinstallation betrifft. Bei weniger toleranten Gäste rate ich jedoch von dieser Unterkunft ab. Zimmer Ich hatte das Zimmer 2010 mit angeschlossenem Bad. Das Bad war sauber und ausreichend groß. Das Video auf der Homepage ist zumindest irreführend da es nur den privaten Bereich der Gastgeberin zeigt. Der Gast kann einen Bereich im Basement nutzen. Die dortige Küche bedarf einer Grundreinigung. Das gilt auch für das Gästezimmer. Service Die Gastgeberin ist sehr bemüht und gibt Tipps für Sightseeing und Restaurants. Das "kontinentale Frühstück" besteht aus Kaffee zum Selberkochen und wahlweise einen Muffin oder einem Croissant sowie einer kleinen Schale Fruchtsalat. Nicht wie in der Expedia Beschreibung "Großes Frühstück". Standort Das B&B liegt ca. 30 Bus Minuten außerhalb Downtown (Linie 7). Man ist daher schnell und einfach in der Stadt.

It smelled like mold. The air quality was poor. There was visible mold I include pictures on Google since Expedia let's people pay to hide unflattering reviews. The owner said Vancouver is damp and it always smells like this. I live in Oregon and know damp smells well. I also worked in housing law and know mold when I see it. Unsympathetic when we complained about respiratory irritation.
