This place has it all - great rooms, great staff (thanks Matthew & Brianna), great location, breakfasts to die for and home made lemonade after a long day sightseeing. What more could you want? Well there's free parking, terraces in some of the rooms, and a library that would keep you from ever going outside. Oh and did we mention... more

Both good and not-so-good things to say about the Nelson House. First, the good... The location is perfect - within walking distance to great restaurants and to downtown Vancouver (really it is IN downtown Vancouver.) The neighborhood is safe and there are dedicated parking spots for the B&B. We met some very nice people at breakfast on our second day... more

We've been staying there off and on about 15 years. It is always comfortable, clean and friendly. The breakfast is perfect. Hosts are always ready to help you enjoy Vancouver. more

We have stayed at Nelson House many times over the last 4 or 5 years and have always be welcomed with such warmth and friendliness.

When we arrived at this place, we were supposed to find a little basket with a key somewhere. I couldn't find it, so I rang the bell. A certain Briana answered the door, asking if I had rung the bell. I said I hoped she hadn't been waiting for us until we arrived. No, she, said, I live here. She... more

It feels like wonderfully stepping back in time, its quaint, cosy and everything I've ever looked for in a B&B. Its close to everything downtown and a delightful area to walk around. It truly is everything good that has gone before in the reviews. I hope to be back time and time again. more

Where does one begin? Unassuming and tucked away in a quiet residential street this gem is quite hard to find but well worth the effort. For reference it’s the pale blue place on the corner. Our main host was Mathew, an ebullient character full of stories and anecdotes who will entertain you for hours (literally) at breakfast if you let... more
