Douglas Guest House

The Douglas House is an inexpensive alternative to a hotel. There are several things that could be done to make it more pleasant, but in this situation you do get what you pay for. The rooms are clean but small.... Very small for 2 people. Bed was comfortable. WiFi wasn't the strongest or fastest. It was quiet though. Can't control the heat/air on your own. We got hot and we got cold. They mention toiletries--don't expect what you would find in a hotel. e.g. Hand soap for body wash. Breakfast was ok if you like eggs and bread because that is pretty much all that is offered. Their vegetarian breakfast is very basic. (All choices are vegetarian) The eggs were fairly bland with very little veggies in the veggie omelet. The fruit talked about is whole apples, oranges and bananas in a bowl. You do get food for breakfast, but nothing to rave about. The coffee was very good although it isn't ready until 8am. It is located close to the train and an area with many restaurants in walking distance. Other areas were easy to get to from this location, it just isn't in the main attraction area. That might work better for some than others. I might stay here again for one night, but if staying for multiple nights, I'd go somewhere else.

Douglas guest house was perfect stopover . everything was excellent ! I would definitely Stay there again.

Wonderful friendly place in a great location, just a couple of blocks from the famous "Vij's" restaurant. Also just a few blocks from the Canada Line mass transit. We'll return.

Needs a most serious refurbishment, painting, indoors and outdoors. Our room was in a basement, no blinds yet garden lighting all night. The furniture is antiquated while the bed was a nightmare: the wooden headbord kept squeaking at the slightest move while the mattress was wobbly. Of course, no air conditioning, but a noisy fan ... The shower room was also from another century ... The whole place looks and smells old, stale ... yet the rate is quite high for this area which is of no particular interest besides being located to the YVR General Hospital ... but tourists don't really care about that. Breakfast looks nice at first sight ... but then you realize that the choice is quite limited (no bacon, no baked beans, limited number of slices of bread, pancakes, eggs, margarine instead of butter etc.) coffee and jam were bla ... and then they tell you that the place is "vegetarian" ... easy way out to great savings on food, knowing that a great majority of people still enjoy meat ... Looks like an old hippie hangout .... Left us a sour memory ... no hard feelings ... just will not recommend and will definitely not return.

lovely manager. Good breakfast although is vegetarian. Good croissants and jam and fruit. Cheese omelet just ok. Sat outside for breakfast which was nice. Coffee good. Room very average. Overpriced. Very hot. NO air conditioning but had a fan. Bathroom smelled like old wet dish rags. Did not feel clean and cheerful. A bit dark and dreary. Stayed in Room C. Charlotte room. Too expensive.
