Clean room and amenities. However, the walls are thin, so if you are a light sleeper do take some sound cancelling earplugs with you.

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!

It is good place to just sleep one night or two. You have to share washrooms but there is small sink in the room. People on reception are nice. Specially Daniele was so helpful. Close to market and train.
