None of what I wrote is a lie, so I am not a fraudster. In fact, his reply to my review verifies that each room does not have its own air condition control. He states that he turned on the air conditioner for the 6000 sq ft house ... meaning the whole house or nothing needs to be air conditioned and not to the desire of each individual room. I did not double book, in fact I had to frantically... more

We had a terrible experience with this B&B! We were headed to Vancouver for a last minute vacation and booked through Hotels.com two days before our departure. I accidentally booked the room for two people when we were traveling with three and when I received the confirmation email from Pam and Randy, I noticed the number of occupants was incorrect. I quickly write back to the personal email... more

Another great stay at Granville House

I was so impressed with Granville House when I stayed there a year ago that when I returned to Vancouver it was my first choice, and I was delighted again.
The Vogel's have created a truly first class, well thought out guest house. I can't really think of anything I'd change. I was in Vancouver to visit the office of... more

Enjoyable Experience

My first impression arriving at the guest house was not to good, being on the busy Granville street. They however have very good free parking in the ally round the back. Access into the house and room by code is easy and works well. The room was luxurious and cosy with everything that you can expect from a 5 star... more

Excellent stay in Vancouver

Pam and Randy Vogel are great hosts in Vancouver. My husband and I were on a pre Thanksgiving tour of Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Olympic Peninsula, and we stayed our first night here at the Granville B&B. It is centrally located in many ways and was easy to find.
Beside the fact that we began our visit with a small... more

Well appointed, friendly stay in good location

We stayed at Granville House at the begining of October when the weather was quite inclement. Our hosts Randy and Pam were exremely helpful in suggesting places to go and things to do to make our stay more enjoyable despite the rain. The house itself was very comfortable with large rooms that contained all the extras that you would expect... more

Comfortable Stay at an upscale B&B

In June 2012, we stayed four nights at the Granville B&B, a comfortable, clean older but freshly remodeled house right on Granville Street and half a block to the nearest bus line leading straight to downtown Vancouver. This was our first experience with a B&B and we found our hosts Pamela and Randy incredibly friendly and helpful from reservation to... more

High end b&b

We enjoyed our stay at the Granville House in September.
The plus:
-Cost is good value for money as Vancouver hotels seem quite expensive
-The accommodation is high end, spacious and comfortable.
-The hosts were very helpful at all times.
-Breakfast was very nice, please do specify to the staff if you don't require cooked breakfast as they cook "entrees"... more

Very nice room in lovely B and B

Our room was large and comfortable in this lovely old but beautifully detailed and furnished home.The private bathroom was huge--way bigger than ours at home. Lovely breakfast room with good hot and cold breakfasts (we were catered to very graciously and served special vegetarian omelets) and excellent coffee. We felt very welcome and at home. The only drawback is that... more

Great mattress and bedding, too bad about the street noise

I was expecting a B&B, but this place is more like a very nice boutique hotel. Nothing wrong with boutique hotels, just not where I prefer to stay.
Positive:
-The best mattress and bedding I've experienced outside of home.
-Beautifully appointed
Negative
-The front units are 50 feet from a six lane highway. They have done what they can to... more

Lived up to expectations

Granville House was my first experience of a B&B as I have always preferred the more impersonal atmosphere of a hotel. I was pleasantly surprised! I liked the freedom to come and go that the key-code access offered us, loved the large comfortable bed with the luxury linen and choice of pillows. The bathroom was beautiful with plenty of room... more

Wonderful home away from home

I can't say enough good things about Granville House. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The premises are spotless. We stayed in the Birch suite and it was very comfortable and quiet. In fact, the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home! The breakfasts are fantastic whether you go for cooked or continental. The location is very convenient... more

Awesome B&B

Would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone travelling to Vancouver!! Can't wait to return someday!! Very nice property with great service. Room was nice, clean, quiet. Loved all of the extra touches like slippers and robes, i-pod dock, bottled water in fridge, fresh cookies every afternoon. :-) Breakfast each morning was fantastic!! Love that the hosts are into healthy eating/living... more

Couldn't have been nicer

We have stayed at a lot of bed and breakfast establishments, but this was the best one so far in our far flung travels. We chose the junior suite to stay in because we liked the en suite bathroom best from the pictures. Both the bedroom and bathroom were great. The door code allowed for easy, secure in and out... more

Canada Trip

Rely good BB, Good location, quiet rooms, silence on the East side a little less on the west side, Very nice Breakfast, Wi-fi free, really clean, The Boss give my a lot important informations on the area and the city.

Great location, pity about the road noise

We booked this at the last minute which is why we got a downstairs room at the front of the house right by a busy road. The personalised numbers we were sent in advance to open the door to the house and our room were useful but felt impersonal. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom... more

Great B&B

Just spent 3 nights at this great B&B. The location is great and since parking is so expensive in Vancouver you can take a bus right outside and in 10 minutes you're in the heart of the city. The room was terrific with a great bed, pillows and bed linens which were top of the line. The bathroom was modern... more

Good value for Vancouver

I stayed at this B&B with a group of friends as we gathered for a wedding in Vancouver. We all felt that it was good value for the city and our rooms were clean. The beds were large and comfortable. We only met one of the owners once but the staff provided a good service and I particularly appreciated the... more

Poor B&B

We travelled for 6 weeks and this was the poorest Bed and Breakfast we came across. The oners have no trust at all in their customers. We never got our full change, the curtain was ripped, the toilet was wobbly and one bed was not even worth trying. We had a room with two beds, one was nice, but the... more

bridal party success

We recently took several rooms here for my daughter's wedding.
We were very happy to have a "home away from home" where we could get ready for the wedding and visit with out of town guests too. It was much nicer than running between hotel rooms....very relaxing at a stressful time:-)
I would recommend this beautiful house without hesitation.

Nice rooms, "lean" on hospitality

The rooms at this B&B were nice, clean, updated and really of a higher standard than most "run of the mill" B&B's. I had 2 rooms (for reasons to be explained shortly) the first was a standard room and had a huge king bed with nice linens, flat screen TV etc. On the other side of the coin, it was... more

Fantastic location, lovely room, very accommodating owners

We visited with our 2 young children in early April. The room was lovely - a sitting room that doubled as a second bedroom and a main bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
Unfortunately we had booked through an agency which had neglected to mention the children, and although Randy was very happy for us to stay, he suggested we could stay... more

Grey Cup 2011

We enjoyed our stay during Grey Cup week. The location was awesome, we even managed to walk to Oakridge Mall from our B&B.
The morning breakfast were very nutritional.
Looking to our next booking.
Thanks Pam & Randy

Can't wait to return

This B & B demands many returns! The feeling of being a special guest in a beautiful home permeated our stay there, from the seamless welcome and arrival instructions to assistance with our taxi to the airport. Pamela, Randi, Leica and Shandi succeeded in making us feel special and welcome and even assisted us with printing needs for tickets. The... more

Great location in Vancouver

We had never been to Vancouver and were not really sure which part of the city was the best to stay in. I liked the look of the Granville House and the neighbourhood. It turned out to be the perfect location. There is a local bus that is just down the street and takes you right into the centre of... more

Grand Finale

My wife and I spent 3 luxurious nights here at the very end of a 10 week holiday before flying home to Sydney, Australia. From the very first we were impressed with the meticulous attention to detail in every area, and were even more overwhelmed when we entered our suite. Breakfasts were an absolute delight, and nothing was too much... more

You'll have a hard time leaving

Every Bed & Breakfast owner should spend a night or two at Granville B&B to see how it's done. Wow.
My husband and I spent two nights in the Birch Room on our first trip to Vancouver. First off, the reservation process on their website was seamless. You can easily view a calendar of availability for various rooms, the rate... more

R&R in a lovely suite

I spent one night on Thanksgiving in Canada Monday Oct 10 at this lovely heritage
home on the main drag into Vancouver, just across from the beautiful Van Dusen Gardens. Unfortunately it was raining all night so not condusive to walkabouts.
The owners werent home when I arrived but I was given earlier door code and found a beautiful, well... more

Wish we could have stayed longer

What makes the Granville B&B the best: Pam & Randy (infinite knowledge of the city and surrounding areas, incredibly gracious and accommodating); the location (easy access to everything!, located in one of the more beautiful neighborhoods); the house (beautiful inside and out, tastefully modern and up-to-date rooms), the amenities (free parking, delicious and filling breakfast). Every morning... more

Fantastic B&B in Vancouver

Just want to tell you about our wonderful stay at Granville House B&B. Pam and Randy went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable vacation. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about places we were interested in seeing. Each day they printed out the maps that got us where we wanted to go. After fun filled days it was... more

The best B&B so far experienced

Pam & Randy are personable,gracious hosts.Location is perfect to visit Vancouver. Cleanliness is remarkable probably due in part to the no shoe policy.

Best stay I have ever had

My wife and I stayed in the Elm Junior suite in June, 2011 for our honeymoon. We took advantage of the deal where we stayed 7 nights but only paid the cost of 5 nights.
Amenities:
The bed is large and luxurious. A little soft for my taste, though, since I prefer a nice firm bed, but it was perfect... more

Only good comments

We stayed in the Elm Junior suite late August, very nicely done! Shandy was very helpfull. This B & B deserves its 5 stars. The location is good not far from downtown but in a residential area. If we go back to Vancouver we will reserve the same suite as we liked it very much.
Lise

one of the best accommodation of our trip

we were just a few days, but we were very pleased with everything. The room was large, cozy and very clean. The location was convenient and quiet, just minutes from downtown. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The hosts were very courteous and gave us lots of information and advice. Truly a great experience, certainly recommended!

Great stay

Excellent Stay hosts very good the whole experience was great

Lovely stay at Granvill House

We stayed a few days , and really enjoyed it .... Shandy Rae and her team really looked after us well... House beautifuly furnished and extremely clean..... Breakfast food was lovely , and hot drinks etc always available.. Location was lovely , and only a 20min jog to Granvil Island, thru all the nice neighbourhoods...My only slight quibble is that... more

Great experience

Thankyou Granville House for making our stay in Vancouver a most memorable experience. Walking through your green neighbourhood was a great complement to the peaceful atmosphere that we felt while staying in 'Cedar Room'. The online reservation system that you maintain is also a strong point that we have apreciated very much. You have a very hospitable dwelling that appeals... more

We had a great time

Room was very comfortable, spacious and well-appointed. Breakfasts were terrific - a creme brulee french toast one day, vegetable omelette another and the best raisin bread for toast. We were given maps and lots of information about restaurants (all of which were great). Location was great; you could walk to Granville Island and further on to downtown or take a... more

Way over rated

This B&B is written up as a high end facilitty. We paid almost CND 300 for one night. We arrived late due to flight delays and lost luggage. We asked to have the person at the B&B accept the suitcases when they arrived, but were told that no one is at the B&B most of the time. We also asked... more

A week in Vancouver

We had a large party of 8. The location of the house is perfect and satisfied everyones needs! Right down the street from downtown! The breakfast was great. A different one everyday. We even got recipes! The ladies that work the b&b are fabulous! They put waters in the room everyday, helped us plan out our days, and even had... more

Enjoyed our stay

Enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely and bathroom huge with plenty of space for our things. Water pressure a bit weak though. Large walk in closet with safe. Free telephone service. Plush WHITE wall-to-wall carpeting so there is a no shoes policy. We were a bit nervous about getting it dirty-how about a nice pinewood parquet floor eh?
Staff... more

Perfect choice, location and city

We have recently enjoyed a week at Granville House whilst visiting our daughter. We were delighted with all aspects of our stay. Having found Granville House on the internet (not via our daughter who visited for the first time the night before our arrival to leave a gift - how lovely!) from our initial contact to our arrival no problems.... more

The Comforts of Home with Touches of Luxury

My husband and I happened to find Granville House after a fruitless search for a local hotel. Thank goodness we did...this was much better than anything we would have found in the same price range. The room was immaculate and huge (we stayed in the Cedar suite) - beautiful bathroom with soaker tub and full shower, along with a separate... more

We absolutely loved it and we will be back

This bed and breakfast is located in an extremely lovely part of Vancouver city. It was very easy to reach downtown by bus, or car. The room was absolutely lovely, very clean, comfortable bed, new bathroom with a very comfortable soaker tub, shower, and separate sitting room. This was our first experience with a bed and breakfast and we could... more

The perfect place to stay in Vancouver

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Granville House B&B for 7 nights and we could not find one fault. Pam and Randy are friendly and attentive hosts and we always felt that we could approach them with any questions. We stayed in the Birch room which was spacious, clean and comfortable (and very welcoming after a 10 hour flight... more

Top-quality b&b - definitely 5 star

We stayed for two nights in the Birch Suite. The room is lovely, spacious and full of light, with a very comfortable king-sized bed and a beautiful bathroom. We had been concerned about noise from Granville Street, but our room looked out onto the back garden and we were not bothered by street noise.
The breakfast room was extremely well-appointed... more

Excellent stay at Granville House

This home is very well cared for inside and out! The room was extremely comfortable and clean. Conveniently located between the airport and downtown Vancouver. The hosts are a young couple doing a great job at raising a family and caring for two properties. They make sure their guests are comfortable, satisfied and informed about the surroundings. It sure was... more

Awesome B & B

We had the pleasure of spending 4 nights at the Granville B & B and it was outstanding. The room was very spacious, well presented and had the most amazing king size bed. We slept wonderfully every night. The bathroom was huge and stocked with wonderful toiletries. Thank you to our host Pam (husband Randy was away sailing) for being... more

Ultimate comfort, care and attention

I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. The owners went above and beyond to make my stay very comfortable - and even though I had an early a.m. meeting,(forcing me to miss their breakfast schedule) they were waiting with my breakfast when I got back which was so lovely of them. The room I stayed in was deluxe and I... more

Not far from home get away

We llive in Langley B.C. and love to get away from the responsibilities of owning a house but love the "at home feeling". We have stayed at the Granville House B&B on numerous occasions and leave feeling very relaxed and well taken care of.
The surroundings are beautiful and we love the attention to detail.
Delicious food and very comfortable... more

Superb accommodations, attentive hosts, favourite B&B

The Granville House facilities and the hosts are exceptional. As frequent visitors to Vancouver, this has become our "home away from home."
We travel extensively in Canada, U.S. & Europe and have fairly high standards for accommodations as this is an important part of our travel experience. This is our favourite B&B and has become the only one we book... more

Our worst experience

We were EXTREMELY disappointed and dissatisfied with our stay at this B&B.
We were given key codes for entrance into the establishment, to find that they only activate from 4pm,m unless otherwise organised.
The dinning room was very cramped, leaving no privacy between tables. The breakfast was very average. No fresh juices, very limited fresh fruit, no boiled eggs and... more

My wife, son and I stayed at the Granville House bed and breakfast for 3 nights last October and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The owners Pam and Randy were extremely hospitable and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

The location was great, located right downtown just stops away from local tourist places, shopping and Granville Island.

I highly recommend Granville House B&B to... more

What a gem!

Loved everything about this B&B, the location is great, the owners are fabulous and so helpful. The beds are amazing, food delicious, and although it is on busy (and very very central) Granville Street, once you're inside this recently built house you are amazed at how peaceful it is. We loved the ability to come and go at anytime without disturbing anyone, arriving late was not a problem... more
