Guest Reviews

• Kateryna (10/5): -
• Jan (8/5): -
• Patti (9/5): Wonderful! Thank you. - The lounge area was really comfortable! A great place to relax and read between events. I enjoyed the selection of teas and coffee. I would certainly recommend the Marpole Guest House to others. It would be nice to have a herbal tea choice. There were two of us so a second key to the bedroom would have been useful for us. It would be nice to have the clocks set at the right time
• Zebil (10/5): Viajando sola para en mi cumpleaños - Las instalaciones, la limpieza y la organización del gerente, quién tenía todo perfectamente pensado para que la experiencia de llegar a Vancouver por primera vez, fuese más amable. Me explicó sobre el transporte, y saber qué Bus tomar para salir y llegar al hostal fue de GRAN ayuda el primer día. La distancia con Down town es considerable, en bus 1 hora app para llegar. Los tours que puedas contratar (recomiendo hacerlos con la agencia y app Viator), te recogen en puntos del centro.. y si no estas 10 minutos antes de la hora, olvida tu reserva. Por eso, este es el único punto bajo, pero solo se requiere que salgas con MÍNIMO 1.30 horas de anticipación. Y al regreso, la caminata es de 8 minutos app pero en un trayecto absolutamente oscuro. Es segura la ciudad, pero puedes encontrar a más de una persona drogada (me pasó) y estaba descompensada y agresiva. Pero eso me pasó el día 1 llegando del aeropuerto y mi uber fue 10/10 ♡. Te lo recomiendo mucho, pero considera la distancia en tus planes.
• Adam (10/5): My stay was brief but quiet and available when I needed it. - I liked the openness of the ground floor, felt very much like a home. Then how first floor was for rooms and privacy. The tour was very effective and the map and board or contacts fir transportation available in the city was very useful. A grocery store snd reputable restaurants nearby in a safe neighborhood. I had requested a wake up call just in case, as I had an early morning flight and that was provided most excellently. I have no negative comments.
• Tony (10/5): -
• ChinaBrian (10/5): -
• Daniela (9/5): - Sehr schön eingerichtet, alles vorhanden was man braucht! Die Gastgeber sind sehr nette Leute, die uns mit selbstgebackenem Brot empfangen haben. Ich empfehle die Unterkunft uneingeschräbkt weiter!
• Jean (8/5): Comfortable stay near airport - This is part of a house in a quiet residential area, very close to the airport. Upstairs, there is one king room ensuite, and 2 queen rooms which share a bathroom. We had both queens, so weren't sharing the bath with strangers. That was nice. The beds were comfy and there was good hot water/pressure in the shower. The downstairs is a spacious open area with kitchen, dining, tv area. Very homey. The kitchen was well fitted out. Instructions regarding check in could have been better. We were met by the host within minutes of arrival but didn't recei ve communication of this beforehand. It was'nt clear which entry we should approach. It was fine, just a few moments of uncertainty. Overall very good experience and good value for the money.
• Rosanne (9/5): -
• Jutta (6/5): -
• Wyatt (10/5): Location was great for my trip, and it was very clean and comfortable. Would stay again! - The location for my stay was great. It was only 5 min away from family. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Nothing major. The towel hanger in the ensuite and the California blinds could use some maintenance. The bed pillows could be replaced.
• Beth (10/5): - Kelly was a gracious and welcoming host! The accomdation was clean and had all we needed for our stay! Highly recommend 🙏
• Christian (10/5): - Schönes Bad und bequeme Betten.
• Trevor (10/5): - I stayed at Marpole Guest House the night before a flight, and it was extremely convenient to get to the airport. Room was clean and comfortable. Recommended.
• Byron (10/5): - Nice, cozy, affordable place to stay if you're on vacation in vancouver.
• Marc (9/5): -
• Jina (10/5): - 넓고 쾌적하고 관리가 잘 된 느낌이었습니다
• Anna (10/5): - Sehr nette Vermieterin und sauberes Zimmer. Wir haben das Zimmer mit eigenem Bad gewählt, welches auch sehr modern und sauber war. Busstation und Metro ist um die Ecke, gute Gegend. Wir würden es wieder buchen👍 Alles top👍
• Kenneth (8/5): - Reasonable price, safe and quet.
• Denise (10/5): - The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-located for a short trip to the airport. Would definitely book again.
• Kate (10/5): Overall comments - Overall service is excellent. It's very clean and tidy. The host is very friendly. You could have food and groceries nearby. The Skytrain station is only 20 min away. It costs me only CAD20ish if taking Uber to the airport. If going to Richmond, it's only CAD11ish by Uber. However, the room is a bit small for two persons. The air-con is noisy at night. The noise insulation for walls is insufficient. You could clearly hear someone going to the bathroom, walking in the corridor, opening/closing door and even packing baggages.
• Charles (8/5): - The room inside the house was nice and clean and air conditioning worked well which was good thing given how warm it was during the day.
• Jerrell (10/5): - Would stay again
• Cross (8/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): - Nice place to stay close to the SkyTrain, so easy access to/from airport and to downtown.
• Chris (10/5): - Nice place
• andrea (6/5): - La cucina e’ veramente bella Il rumore della porta , i muri sono veramente molto sottili , si sente tutto dell’altra camera
• Mary Jane (8/5): - Very clean. Easy to get around Vancouver from this location. Comfortable bed, nice kitchen facilities, and has air conditioning!
• Carole (8/5): Très belle endroit pour des nuits calmes et paisibles dans une ambiance chaleureuse - Le côté cosy et ambiance chaleureuse de la maison et de la chambre, très bonne literie, salle de bain Très propre, cuisine très bien équipée Franchement rien.
• Molly (8/5): - Very clean property, great access into Whistler, Vancouver and the Airport The general area is obviously noisy due to the airport (if you didn’t stay here for the airport)
• Irawan (10/5): - Clean and quiet. Host is very helpfull!
• Clara (10/5): - L’accueil qui nous a mis à l’aise directement Le grand lit très confortable Propre et bien équipé À 10min à pied des commerces Parfait pour une nuit avant ou après un vol je recommande 🙂 De plus, nous sommes malheureusement arrivé un jour plus tard car nous avons loupé notre correspondance, la première nuit ne nous a pas été facturé, merci beaucoup !
• Susan (10/5): - Loved staying at this location. Was upstairs on the second floor and shared the bathroom with one other room. Downstairs was living room and fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed.
• 諸星 (10/5): 快適！ - スタッフの方は優しく、お部屋、バスルームすべてきれいで予想以上に良かったです。 バス停、スーパーも近いです。空港まではウーバーが便利です。 なし
• Gerald (10/5): - This stay is in a great location for connecting to public transportation and shopping. We enjoyed our stay here. It was safe, economical and clean.
• Jared (10/5): - Good location if you're willing to walk a little. I had bags so I needed an Uber to the airport. Clean place, we'll organized, comfortable and quiet. I would stay again
• Shelley (8/5): It was ok - Bed was not comfortable at all. Needs new mattress. Was surprised that wash cloths were not provided. Maybe it's a Canada thing. Parking was awful. Don't mind on street parking but you have to park quite a ways away from where your staying, not fun
• Sheryl (10/5): A little piece of home - Didn't stay long, only for one night but the house was very clean and homey. Not a bad walk or bus ride to the Sky Train. I would stay there again.

• Tetiana (8/5): - Good location, clean, quiet, 3 minutes walk to a good cafe with excellent breakfast.
• Monika (8/5): - We choose the property die to the Nest Airport for 1 night. With UBER you can Drive to Broadway Station for 14 cad It is very clean and the Lady was very nice
• Veronica (6/5): Pleasant -
• Glen (10/5): Extremely happy traveller. - This was great location with only a short 5 min walk to the bus stop, and a further 5-7 mins to transit train station. 10mins to Vancouver airport by train. 10 mins to save on grocery store and other takeaway options. The property inside has everything you need. The kitchen is well maintained and stocked with electrical appliances should you choose to eat in. The bedrooms and bathrooms are modern and clean. The bathroom and kitchen are communal, but are cleaned daily. Rooms are air conditioned making summer stays comfortable. The owners are friendly and welcoming, giving a full briefing on arrival. The general neighbourhood is quiet and safe. I am extremely happy happy with my choice, would highly recommend this guesthouse.
• Glen (10/5): - This property is a sleeping gem. The guest house is clean inside. The rooms and bathroom are modern and cleaned. Staff ensure they are kept that way. The kitchen has everything for guests who want dine in. Living room area very clean with TV and sofas. I love the no shoes in the house policy , one that my wife and I enforce in our own house. Very accessible to local bus route and not far from Marine drive transit train station, which I used extensively. The rooms have aircon and ample storage. Very quiet in the neighbourhood. No problem sleeping. My overall satisfaction with this property is extremely high. I have enjoyed my stay. Oh and it’s only about 20 minutes by train and bus from the airport. That made arriving and departing very, very easy. The owner explained the rules clearly, along anything we needed to know. Extremely satisfied!

• Mila (8/5): Pleasant, clean place! - Appreciated breakfast making facilities. Small quality extra touches were great. Owner was warm and friendly. External signage could have been better.
• Steven (9/5): Clean and comfortable accommodation in a safe area, walking distance from shops and restaurants. - The property was a short distance from the Airport, suited our needs for a one-night stay. Selection of places to eat, not too far from the property to walk to. Helpful and clear instructions from our host. We stayed here after a long haul flight which arrived in the evening. Comfortable bed and good bathroom. Next morning we went to the Airport to collect our hire car. We checked out of our room, but left our luggage in the living room/kitchen at the property, security at the property was very good. We collected once we had our hire car. Plumbing and general noises from other guests could be heard, but this wasn't unreasonable, the rooms are quite close together. Met some other guests on occasion in the shared kitchen downstairs - all were respectful of the property and requests from the host.

So at 7am the washing/drying machine was ON. One morning, we were trying to do our breakfast and she was there passing behind us to replace the stuff. Not only it was super annoying but it felt like we were being watch.
