We stayed at this hotel for two nights. Whilst the hotel is in need of refurbishment it was, never the less comfortable. The hotel is on Robson Street and is very close to numerous restaurants and also only a short stroll to Stanley Park. Staff were very polite and helpful. We had a room at the rear of the premises... more

Stayed at the Barclay for 3 nights after a week at Whistler in Feb. Was the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. The staff were pretty weird to begin with, and not very helpful. Just stared oddly whenever we walked past. The room was quite large, but was incredibly musty and had a distinct smell of urine which no... more

We travelled from the Uk on Xmas eve 2008 to go to my son's wedding in Vancouver. After travelling for 24 hours (living in Cornwall we had to travell to London, then flight delay of four hours ) we finally arrived at The Barclay Hotel. It was snowing heavily and we struggled inside with large cases, no body helped. We... more

While this hotel might not be for everyone, there is nothing wrong with it! The decor is dated and yes, there is no elevator and the television is small.

Hotel had a great location and price which is why we booked it. We had low expectations and it was nice that they had a TV in the room. The rooms were old and quite small. I would stay here again, but after checking the prices from the other close by hotels. more

I didn't anticipate that both double beds would be in the same room !! The other room which was huge, contained some extremely odd wooden... more

On the 26th of August me and my husband checked in in this hotel. After checking in, we realized that this hotel hasn't got a lift! We needed to carry our bags and suitcases waked on the wood stairs to the 3rd floor. meanwhile we heard the "Gegege" from the old wood steps. when we stood in front of the... more

We had our travel agent book this hotel, for the cleanliness and the value . We had just completed an Alaskan land and cruise tour, and wanted to spend some time in Vancouver, before heading home. We were HORRIBLY surprised, when we saw our room. There was no closet, just four hooks to hang some clothes; my friends bed was... more

After searching the net for hotels in Vancouver and contacting many with no luck I looked in my rough guide to Canada and the Barclay was the first I rang, I was so desperate that I was glad they had a room but had a funny feeling so for the first time during my 3 week trip refused to look... more
