Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We enjoyed our one night stay at this quiet charming well maintained B&B with secure parking available. The owners were accessible, pleasant and clearly care about the details. Sherry, muffins and a stocked pantry are a nice touch. Charmingly decorated for Christmas. Be sure to ask for full description of planned breakfast from owners when checking in since waitress' sketchy description did not convey the thoughtful integration of the appetizing breakfast plate.

We chose to stay at O Canada after checking out other hotels/B&B’s, because of its uniqueness. It was an absolute joy to be a guest at this wonderful old building. Our room, West wing, was not the largest, but was comfortable and clean. Due to covid you ordered your breakfast the previous day, which was beautifully presented and extremely tasty, and reserved your time slot. It worked very well. The 24 hour pantry was a lovely extra to enjoy. The location couldn’t have been better, halfway between Downtown and Granville island ferry and even close to Robson street shops. The staff are awesome and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. What more do you need. I would 100% recommend a stay at the beautiful B&B

Fantastic all round! We stayed in the Penthouse which was absolutely beautiful! Very spacious with two extremely comfortable beds and bedding, I struggle to think of anywhere I have stayed with better beds! Room was very well equipped and SO quiet! For the middle of a city I was amazed at the peacefulness of the place. Then there’s breakfast, wow! Just fantastic! You choose the previous night between a sweet or savoury option, and I have to say every morning it was delicious! Crepes, waffles, pancakes - mmmm! There is also a pantry with freshly made cookies and cake, plus a fridge with juices, the cookies are fab! I would highly recommend O Canada House, very homely and comfortable. Spotlessly clean, really friendly staff, very comfortable and peaceful. I would certainly return if I revisited Vancouver. Thank you for a lovely stay!

First, the positives: great location, lovely day time staff. You will be walking distance to just about all the sites you want in Vancouver if you stay at O Canada. The day time staff were really lovely and kind. They stored our bags for a late departure, left very good instructions for a late arrival, no complaints there.
The decor is tired and old. We booked two rooms (we were in the Master Suite on the ground floor and the Penthouse, despite booking 8 months in advance and asking to be on the upper floor to be closer to our kids on the top floor), one with A/C, the other without. The one without (Master Suite) was fine the first night, sweltering the remaining two. A standing fan in the room was insufficient and cut out if you went above 2nd speed. Bathroom is one step above a hostel bathroom with a 1970s spigot, no working fan either and the beds were saggy. For what we paid, this hotel really could use some sprucing up. Perhaps the other rooms are better. The master suite was not great. The Penthouse was better.
The evening staff person had a 1 1/2 hour personal phone call on speakerphone reverberating throughout the house. We couldn't enjoy the common area at all because of her loud, lengthy conversation. Not the sort of B&B experience we've come to expect.
A quibble about the breakfast. You have to pre-order which is totally fine, but the one day when we really needed to leave early, the breakfast didn't come to us for 45 minutes after sitting. It threw off our visit to the suspension bridge, putting us on a bus an hour later than desired and we were stuck with huge crowds. We ended up not even having the breakfast at the hotel the next day as we didn't want to have a repeat...we far preferred our wonderful coffee and breakfast at 49 parallel roasters, which I recommend too.
All in all, would we do it again? If you get a spruced up room, perhaps. If you are visiting outside of the hotter times of year, sure. But avoid the master suite and if you have plans that are on the early side, make sure to let them know that you are hoping for an on time breakfast.

It's true, the house and furnishings are dated but their hospitality is second to none. We arrived quite early and our room was cleaned and ready for us. It was bright, sunny and cheerful inside. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. The breakfast was good and is served to you in their pleasant dining room. If you want something to take on the run or get hungry during the day, just pop into the pantry and help yourself. Everybody who works there is over the top friendly and helpful. The location was not as convenient as I had hoped and thought it would be. If you're not willing to get your steps in, you might need to think twice about staying here.

We had to come to Vancouver for business so needed to be downtown. We chose O’Canada due to its location and the reviews. The lead up to our trip was not good, highways destroyed by floods meant we had to fly, snow storms delayed our flight by 10 hours so to arrive at this lovely house was a blessing. Such a lovely clean, characterful and comfortable room and en-suite! The king bed was so comfortable, we had a great nights sleep. In the morning we had to race out early for our appointment so thought we likely had missed breakfast but the staff were so accommodating and cooked us up something when we got back. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, the accommodation great and the location ideal for downtown Vancouver.

What a charming guesthouse! Fantastic location, just a 2 minute walk from all the local amenities. Our room had a four poster bed and a huge bathroom. Breakfast here was wonderful. You were asked to let them know the day before what you would like and it was all cooked fresh for you. We had coffee in the lounge after breakfast which was very relaxing. The lady who served our breakfast (and I think she also cleaned our room) was very friendly and helpful. We hired some bicycles and cycled around Stanley Park which is a must do. Would definitely recommend and return

Absolutely fabulous place to stay while visiting Vancouver! Warm welcome, home cooking and very friendly hosts all added to our great experience staying at this special, historic house. Location is very convenient, and our room was really comfortable. We will be back, and will also recommend it to all our travelling friends!

Lovely house with excellent accommodations. The breakfast was quality with a variety of both healthy and decadent choices. This is definitely a business rather than family home, but the staff work hard to ensure a comfortable stay. The location is much closer to downtown, so there were street noises. Our biggest disappointment was the entire third floor is one suite, and as in our case, one loud guest or group can ruin a good night sleep. It sounded as if people were holding up then dropping full suitcases on the floor above us. Several times it actually caused our windows to rattle.

A personal touch, a breakfast, an old whirley feel and amazing cookies or whatever amazing stuff is baked. The rooms are wonderful too and spacious. The only thing we had a bit of an issue with was the weird smell but we could not ascertain whether that was the house or coming from outside......Service was impeccable and we would rebook in a heartbeat.

We did Grouse Mountain and it was a highlight of our stay in Vancouver. We also walked to Gastown and the seafront. If you have time a visit to Granville is also worthwhile
We found eating out in Vancouver expensive but the food always good. We ate at a couple of places in Yaletown. Can't remember the name of the eat street but it is easy to find. Hope this helps
There are more places to choose from in the Vancouver area.
