    Vancouver Backpacker Guesthouse - Room with 2 twin beds

    I was pleased with everything pertaining to my one night stay. For the affordability factor, it is…read moreworth the distance. Located a long way from downtown Vancouver. The cleaning crew is terrifically efficient. I can admit, the host was pleasantly courteous. I would recommend this place to anyone. I was able find it easily, by taking public transportation.

    My friend and I booked VBG based on the good reviews on Hostelworld.com. The closest Skytrain stop…read moreis Metrotown and VBG is just a few blocks from the mall. We arrived in Vancouver on a light drizzly afternoon, and as directed, called the number so that we could ensure that someone would meet us to take us to our room. For more than 2 hours, my phone calls and emails went unanswered and I finally decided we would just walk to the address provided and figure it out from there. We walked thru a suburban neighborhood and a man raking his leaves pointed us in the right direction, which was a good sign that this place had been used by other travelers. The Guesthouse was just a regular house down the street. Upon walking inside, we heard complaints of the lockers having no locks and the dryer being broken, according to other backpackers. As it turned out, VBG is actually a variety of different properties owned by one person, who was in Taiwan at the time. The phone number provided belonged to the owner and that is why there was no answer. Meanwhile, staff members helped us check in, pay, and then walked with us about half a mile to another apartment, about 10 minutes (walking) from the MetroTown Station. Our apartment was clean and we claimed a room with 2 beds. We were given keys for our apartment and room, fresh linens, and then rationed 1 roll of toilet paper each, to use for a week. Anything after that, we were told, we'd have to purchase for ourselves. Check out was easy, just undo the linens and leave the keys behind. All in all, decent value for what we paid, (~$25/bed/night). We had about 5 housemates to share with, but there were no problems whatsoever. VBG was a good, quiet place to stay, if you don't mind being farther away from the city. Note: From the Metrotown skytrain station, it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the City center. Don't stay here if you're looking to party. This Guesthouse is more suited for those who want a homey place to stay. In fact, 3 of the housemates were staying here (long term) while job-searching. My only complaint is that they should have provided better service to respond when we were calling the number they provided. If we'd waited for someone to call back, who knows how long we would have waited outside the BG Urban Cafe...

    Juniper was a delight, very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the Regal Royal Room upstairs…read morethat was very comfortable with all the amenities we needed as well as quiet. The kitchen to make our coffee and Chai tea and to store our leftovers from dining out was well equipped and comfortable. Accommodations were only about 5 minutes from downtown restaurants and museums, We took the scenic bypass and stopped at all the attractions along the way around the Island. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting some of the other Islands in the area.

    My partner booked this room because I mentioned it looked like it was made with a lot of love (and…read morelovely woodwork), and I wasn't wrong. The opposite of the greige AirSpace style that proliferates, this was colorful, textured coziness. Apart from aesthetics, it was just a great spot to spend an important birthday. While I always bring coffee making kit with me, I hadn't remembered tea. Turned out the kitchen was well-stocked with all the tea. Our host very kindly offered to pick up things for us when it snowed, but it's only about a mile walk into town, so we found it pretty easy to pick up provisions at the excellent Co-Op and Bakery San Juan. There are so many great hikes on the island, but having a day to watch the snow fall, read, and drink tea, was just what I needed--along with watching the bald eagles nesting. What a special place!
