Five of us (2 couples + one) stayed at Barclay House in the inhospitable Canadian winter and were kept warm, wonderfully fed and delighted with many thoughtful extras. The B & B is well-located for walking downtown and to Stanley Park. Best of all, the owners stock each room with every possible comfort: champagne, very good cookies, a refrigerator full of Toblerone, biscotti and other calorific treats; they provide internet access, large-screen tv's, and wonderful, copious breakfasts. The management is available to give advice and directions and -- a lovely surprise -- when we ate our final meal (at the very recommendable Sequoia Grill in Stanley Park), Barclay House's owner had called and ordered a little extra amuse-bouche of local salmon for us. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.

There were two reasons why we loved our stay at the Barclay, location and service. The house is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood--but only a few blocks away from Robson Street. We loved going out to late night dinners at restaurants on Robson and felt safe walking back the short distance to the Barclay. Service was excellent--JJ, Mette, Dennis and Jonas were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast (Jonas poaches a mean egg) and cookies were wonderful as well, we hope to return soon!

We stayed in the Peak room. It was very private, airy, and filled with natural light. The room was well detailed - the amenities were all high quality and well thought out. There was a CD player with a wallet of CD's provided, DVD s available on the sharred stairwell landing, a selection of hot cocoa, tea, coffee, and biscotti available in our room, and a fantastic bed with fine linen. All the creature comforts of a luxury hotel with the comfort of home!

This place is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is exceptionally quiet despite being only a couple of blocks from the heart of Robson street. The B House has done an exceptional job of restoring the character and the charm of this west end gem. The decor is modern yet traditional, and it has been put together with a great eye for detail. All of the rooms have a slightly different decor theme that reflects how they are named. Be sure to get a tour of the place from the welcoming staff. It is a must see.The lounge invites you to sit and enjoy the plush leather couch and the fire place rather than venturing outside. Be sure to experience the breakfast - a rotating menu and friendly staff will keep you fomr ever wnating to leave the house during your stay!

I would recommend this over any downtown hotel if you like service, quality of accommodations, and a little piece and quiet amidst the chaos.

Very nice B & B. You won't find a more helpful staff. Always interested in talking about what you are doing and where you are going. They live in the area and love to give advice. Plus... You won't find a better location.
We stayed in the Haidaway Suite. It was great, very quiet. You are given the manager's cell phone # and can call him anytime you need help. Highly recommend this B & B. Hope this helps.
