Wasn't sure what to expect here exactly but it definitely exceeded whatever expectations I had. Nice spacious suite (the charlotte room) in a great location. Perfect place to stay for a few days and very reasonably priced

I choose this motel which was introdued room type as 2 bed rooms and private bath. But that is not true. Strictly saying, room type is 1 bed room and open living room bed and open bath(locking system inoperativ). Because of not guaranty for privacy, It was terrinle situation during stay there. Unfortunately, phothos can not be uploaded(I have relative picturs)

It was a good B& B. Too many stairs for us.

A nice quiet place to stay with an old fashioned character.
Our room had no opening windows except a small screened one in the adjoining bathroom, and a very weak AC.

The Douglas House is a lovely home that has been split into small rooms to include a bed, fridge, and bathroom. It was very small for the price. There was no air conditioning but there was a large noisy fan. The bed was fine. The bathroom, while small was modern and clean. The one downside for me was all of the stairs to get checked in and go to breakfast. There were even a few stairs to get down to my room. The outside lock did not work. On the upside, it was really lovely to sit outside in the backyard and even in the front while waiting for my Uber. It was very peaceful and gracious. The breakfast was delicious. It is definitely not for someone with walking or stair-climbing disabilities. It appears that they are continuing to renovate to include upstairs apartments. If you aren't too picky and have no physical disabilities, it will provide a good night's stay.

This attractive property was handy to easy public transit and I found it to be very clean, pleasant, and quite comfortable. I had a kind of long, narrow suite with a full kitchenette which I would have made good use of on a longer stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and spoke good English. The breakfast was not large but very good and besides the made to order eggs there was fruit, cereal, toast, croissants etc. over all I was very pleased with the place.

The room we stayed in (The Charlotte) is an odd shape, and small, but it was perfect for our needs. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. We were given permission to drop off our luggage early, although they don’t allow early check-ins. When we arrived, we were doubly surprised and blessed to be able to check in early and enjoy our day in beautiful Vancouver. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet, and we highly recommend the Douglas Guest House.

The Penthouse and Douglas Guest House were beautiful! Highlights were the made-to-order breakfasts, the extremely comfortable beds and the friendly staff. Thanks!

Arrived in Vancouver for a medical appointment, up since three in the morning. Our appointment was early so we went to find our location which is very close to the hospital. Arrived three hours earlier than check in time and without a fuss or extra charge got to lay down for an hour before venturing out.
We quickly learned we were close to Granville Island, shops, train station and more.
Looking for affordable accommodation this is it!!!!

Terrible experience. The room was 32C / 90F when we arrived. There was a portable air conditioner in the room that we turned on and after 2 hours the room was still a sweltering 86F at 10p at night. We tried calling and texting the contact number provided multiple times as did Hotels.com, and no one would pick up. Keep in mind that the listing says “air conditioned”.
There was a skylight above the bed with a paper window covering falling off, that would let in light at the crack of dawn. We sat on the bed and it completely caved in.
Finally after no response to our calls (and those from hotels.com) we had to leave and seek a last minute hotel elsewhere, as the room was unusable.
The next day we were notified that we would not receive a refund as we hadn’t cancelled in advance of arrival. What in the world? We couldn’t know the status until arriving! The unit was completely unusable and while we were willing to move to another room, no one would pick up or reply to our calls/txts.
I will be pursuing a refund through my credit card company as the host is citing their cancellation policy.

Clean and comfortable in general in a beautiful 100 year old house. That being said, a few things would have made it better.
1. No place to put hygiene items in the bathroom. A stand of some sort would have been great. Did appreciate that there were lots of hooks.
2. It was wonderful and unexpected that there was a small refrigerator in the room. A garbage can there would have been great.
3. Also would have appreciated a small table in the room.
4. The tall rotating fan made it bearable and was appreciated but it was very warm. AC would have made it better.

While the bed wasn’t the most comfortable we’ve had while travelling, the room was clean, the bathroom was very modern in this 80 year old character house. The breakfast in the morning was absolutely excellent!! We would definitely stay here again

Lovely stay at the Douglas Guest House. Staff clearly explained the after hours check in and everything went well. I was happy with my room, which was an outside entrance. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, quiet, and comfortable. The included breakfast was amazing with fresh cooking, fresh fruits, juices, breads, and more. They take excellent care of their guests. I would definitely stay here again

Super convenient from the airport, and super convenient to downtown without being in the heart of it.

It was just fine, very charming. Perhaps not enough guest parking but that comes with the location, I guess.

Location is good re public transit in all directions, train from airport, etc; however, there is a moderately steep hill of four city blocks to climb up from the transit location, then stairs to the front door and more stairs to most rooms. We stayed five nights in the Penthouse room which is three flights of stairs from the street level. After a day of shopping, those stairs were onerous! The main room contained the bathroom, a queen bed, a table, a fridge, coffee maker, but it could not be private from the other room which contained a queen bed and the only closet. The furnishings are typical B&B but the beds are comfortable. No housekeeping is done during your stay.
The main negative factor for us was that there was no locked room to leave your luggage in storage before check-in or after check-out ... the suggested place was in the main floor living area which was open to all people who knew the front door combination ... not ideal if you are carrying expensive goods.
We would stay again but only for a shorter period.
