We had a great experience at the Guesthouse Vancouver. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location could not have been better- although beware, street parking is hard to come by. The guesthouse is clean, and we loved the seating areas on each floor. I highly recommend bringing your own flip flops and robe for the showers (their towels are small). The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors :0 but we had a great time and would def return here.

Place is well-maintained & very near to restaurants, parks, etc. Bathrooms are very clean! However, rooms are not totally sound proof. There was a group of people next room blasting loud music & talking past midnight which was heard by nearby rooms. But overall, my stay was great!
