The amibiance: the decorations, furnishings were quite lovely, subdued, but still luxurious. Soft music was playing. The staff could not have been more accomodating and helpful. The baking and the breakfasts were phenomonal. After breakfast, I did not need any lunch. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Vancouver. Robson Street with shops and wonderful restaurants is a block away. Catching the bus, a few blocks more. Marvelous in all aspects.

Exceptional cleanliness, exceptional staff and friendliness, gorgeous home, delicious breakfast and afternoon treats !

Raeanne United States of America

Barb, the manager & chef turned our stay into the best B&B experience we’ve ever had. She could easily be a pastry and dessert chef if she chose that path. She went out of her way to make gluten free desserts for my son and all the snacks were terrific. She’s an all round friendly and genuine host. Thanks!

The West End Guesthouse was wonderful. the staff was so friendly and helpful and the breakfast tasty. The bedroom itself was clean, roomy and comfortable. We loved the bed. Seriously the most comfortable bed in a hotel or Bnb that we have ever slept in.

  • HOW FAR IS THIS GUEST HOUSE FROM PORT OF VANCOUVER 999 CANADA PLACE
    Hello and thank you for contacting us. Canada Place is not too far away. 5 minute taxi or about a 20 minute walk along the seawall and then up Broughton to Haro Street. We are centrally located between the city and Stanley Park. Kind regards, David
    Answered on November 13, 2019
  • Is it possible to arrange an early checkin for the morning of the 7th of April?
    Our guests can certainly drop their bags off early, any time after 9am. We can't allow access to your room until 3pm as departing guests leave at 11am and then our staff require time to prepare the rooms. Normally if a guest arrives early we will show them around and store their luggage. They can go and explore Vancouver or relax in our living room area. WEGH

David Birch & Paul Wylie
Harking back to the days when the West End was Vancouver’s first residential neighbourhood, the 1906-built West End Guest House was once home to the Edwards family – some of their photographs of early Vancouver adorn the walls. Current owner Paul Wylie has modernised the interiors and plumbing (all rooms are en suite), while retaining a period charm. The eight individually styled guest suites range from lush garden level (Superior King Garden Suite) to cosy attic with skylights (Deluxe King Suite). Complimentary gourmet breakfasts, and free Wi-Fi add to the charm. It is on historic Haro Street, within walking distance to nearby Stanley Park seawall, or Davie and Robson Street shopping areas. The parlour with hearth is ideal for winter contemplation, while the veranda and garden beckon in summer months.
