I stayed at the Barclay quite a few times over the years, and it offers good accommodation for the budget traveler (if you are not picky, of course). The rooms are not necessarily the cleanest and the hotel is very dated, but the service is efficient. They always accommodated an early check-in when I arrived in the morning which was... More

i have stayed in this hotel for 3 weeks as it was the only hotel that offered me a very good price as a travel agent!!!! the hotel is very very old, and needs a renovations ASAP. during the time i stayed i did not mind it as my budget was very limit and i was only 25 yrs old..... More

I stayed at the Barclay as part of a group travelling for work. First impressions not good - the lobby looks and smells tired; there is no lift, so we had to lug suitcases up several flights of stairs. The rooms are basic and functional; we had no inclination to spend more time in them than strictly necessary. There is... More

So here is the score on this hotel - There are 'New' rooms (that are perfectly acceptable) and 'old' rooms which look quite unacceptable. We were lucky enough to get a new room 216. Everything in the room was new, the bed was very comfortable, Bathroom was perfectly acceptable for a budget hotel. We were extremely concerned with the reviews... More

This hotel was a last minute substitute for the Patricia Hotel which was a complete and utter dump which I gave 1 star on trip advisor. The Barclay Hotel was a step up from the terrible category to the poor category. We stayed here 1 night. It is very dated and small. The cleanliness was below average. The location is... More

This hotel was really well situated on Robson Street so if restaurants and shopping are your thing then you're in a good spot. It's a fairly touristy area, the red shuttle trolleys stop across the street to tour you around town and since it's fairly central you're close to most all of the destinations. Now for the "mediocre comfort" part.... More

Could have paid same amount for better quality at airport or North Vancouver but was persuaded to stay downtown. As we were on a budget this meant compromising but this hotel was ideal due to great location. Rooms were ok - don't book if you want luxury - just clean and comfortable. Air con was needed but was like a... More

Spent 5 days here and thought it was great value for money. Staff were friendly and the rooms clean and well furnished. Location is also perfect- right on Robson Street, the main shopping street but at the same time there was no problem with noise. Breakfast is not included but can be bought for a reasonable price - although breakfast... More

I travel to Vancouver frequently and I always stay at the Barclay. The price (under $100 May-September and $50 in the off season) is unbeatable for a room with a private bathroom in such a prime location on Robson Street. There are literally dozens of restaurants and stores just outside your door. While the hotel may not be luxurious, I... More
