Located right on Robson Street , the city's version of Rodeo Drive, the Barclay Hotel is a European-style heritage building with a soothing and homey decor, and large and eclectically decorated rooms.

Not for a long stay
By Enid, 09/05/07
Just spent two seperate nights at this hotel before and after my Alaskan Cruise, and although it was OK for an odd night I wouldn't like to stay longer. The beds are clean and so are the towels but the whole place is jaded and tired. The bathroom could have done with a good scrub and I didn't chance the shower! The air conditioning didn't work in the room and I wouldn't like to have stayed there in the real heat of the summer. There is no lift and I had to struggle up the flight of stairs to reception and although my room the first night was on the ground floor it was on the first the second night and ther is no lift. The staff were helpful and attentive and the place was very busy but I'd not want to stay there for the whole of my vacation. I'd recommend this hotel for an odd night in transit but no longer. The rooms are nothing like the pictures on the web site.
 
 
 
 
 
Run like the wind from this place.
By Heckowie, 08/24/06
I'll start with what I liked - the location. Now I'll list what I didn't like. 1. no lift and with heavy baggage that is a big turn off. 2. Air conditioner that sounded like a freight train - reported it and nothing happened. 3. Light fitting hanging by a thread from the ceiling. 4 cigarettes and matches in with the shampoo and conditioner - we'd requested a non smoking room. 5. Staff could not speak English well - communication difficult. 6. Electrical wiring very suspect in room. 7. Bad television reception. 8. Bathroom door would not close properly. 9. Very rude staff member when we were checking out. Never ever go to this place unless all other places have been booked out.
 
 
 
 
 
bed size
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/22/06
We booked a double via internet, with the comment "separated bed". This wish was ignored, and we had to sleep in a Queen size (single) bed. The bed was good but small. As a foreighner I was not aware that Queen size is actually relatively small. Apart from this, the hotel is situated very central and the price is ok. The quality of the rooms seems to vary.
 
 
 
 
 
Only stay if you can't afford any other place
By Nachtritter, 06/12/05
The location was great if you want to be downtown Vancouver; it's close to many shops, restaurants, and cultural interest points (like the Vancouver Museum of Art). Staff was also friendly. The price was also quite good. However, the room was absolutely tiny, the carpets stained, the "sparkling clean" glasses had crusty toothpaste (or something) in them, the window was so dirty I could barely see out, and the A/C, which I struggled to get working properly, was coated with a thick layer of dust and dirt. I would not go back, nor would I recommend the hotel to anyone. I think you'd be better off getting a hotel near the same rate (but much nicer) near the Airport, and paying the $2.25 bus fare to get to the downtown area.

Value for the Dollar
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/21/05
This hotel is for the traveler with a limited budget.It is located well for the price.My worst experience was a lumpy mattress and a few bedbug bites.

Courteous staff and amazing location!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/29/04
My friend and I decided to take a vacation to the city of Vancouver, and noticed the nice location of The Barclay Hotel. We parked our rental SUV in the modernized garage behind the building. Walking in the front door, we were greeted with a modern sliding door and wood entryway. Certainly, awesome atmosphere! The staff was sincerely courteous, and took our major credit cards that even some stores would not in Canada! The rooms are nice, and equipped with all the modern commodities -- alarm clock, bathroom, tv, dresser, desk, and chairs -- exactly what is expected in a hotel here in the US [for us tourists :)]! What's even better is the $5 Continental Breakfast! And, for visitors from all countries, Robson Street [where the hotel is] has food from all over the world. The block the Hotel is on features AT LEAST 15 restaurants of all types! Asahi-Ya Sushi is CERTAINLY the best sushi place in town, and it is just a block down, past the Pocky Shoppe [and still on Robson], with $1/pc. sushi! My friend and I ordered a 2-bed room, and had a great time, especially since we had the best accomodations we could ever possibly hope for. The place is clean, the staff is nice, and the location is supreme! The many convenience stores in the area also offer 3-D maps of the city! Enjoy Canada and Vancouver at the Barclay Hotel!
