The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse

The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse bills itself as a cross between a hostel, a B&B and a budget inn, and that is a pretty good description. This cozy space has managed to combine the best of all three of those, too, and come out on top. It is located in a 19th century Victorian building in the heart of downtown Vancouver, and is one of the only historic homes left in downtown Vancouver from that era. With its central location, guests at The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse are only a short walk from most of the things you will want to do or see in Vancouver.

When we say cozy, we mean it - The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse has only seven guest rooms total. There are double or twin rooms, a view room or the loft suite - the latter is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway, if that is on the agenda. Not all the rooms have en suite bathroom facilities (the loft suite does), but with only seven rooms in the entire guesthouse you will not have a long wait for your morning shower even with the shard bathrooms.

Some of the amenities you will find at The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse are:

• Free linens and towels
• Free make-it-yourself breakfast
• Free internet access
• Free bicycle use
• Luggage storage
• Laundry facilities and guest kitchen
• No curfew and no lockout
• 24 hour reception and 24 hour check in

Although it is right downtown, The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse is well-hidden and actually brings a bit of nature to the city experience with its rooftop patio and garden. And while you will have to make your own breakfast in the morning, all the “fixins” are there and ready for you, including bacon, eggs, cheese, pancake mix, juice, coffee, tea, and cereal. The owners of this charming guesthouse are friendly and outgoing people who love Vancouver and all it has to offer, so they are more than happy to share their enthusiasm with you.

There is nothing quite like The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse in Vancouver - you will feel like you are just staying at a friend’s house, only it happens to be in the heart of one of the coolest cities on earth.
