Pros: Stayed for 2 nights in the Dogwood Room. The house is lovely and clean and you feel at home immediately. I was able to enjoy the living room with fireplace area to do some work. The breakfast area is nice too and always stocked. The bed was comfortable, linens lovely, and I really enjoyed the location being on Granville.

The breakfast area is nice too and always stocked. The bed was comfortable, linens lovely, and I really enjoyed the location being on Granville.
Cons: The only thing I would change is the room I stayed in as it was on the busy street of Granville Street. The window latches are broken so it is difficult to shut them. Once you do get them shut the noise is still loud from the street. I used the fans to drown out the noise best I could.

Pros: Everything. It is a wonderful place, beautifully appointed, with excellent, smiling and helpful staff. It was a joy to stay here. They addressed our every need.
Cons: It just happens that this address is on a busy thoroughfare, making it hard to enter and exit, especially at night. No fault of the owners.

Pros: This was in a great location-close to transportation should you need it and in a nice neighborhood. Close to Granville Market. Very comfortable bed and nice breakfast.
Cons: Thought it was a bit pricey for what we got. This is right on a main highway through town and it was very noisy all night. No air conditioning. No change of dirty towels the third night.

Pros: There was no breakfast. They said that they had lowered their rates to compensate for no breakfast. Coffee machine broken--had a drip machine. Provided just instant oatmeal packets in dining room--that was all. Don't call themselves a B&B any longer--just Balfour House.

Pros: This is a fabulous 120 years old mansion in the best residential neighborhood in town. House is just beautiful, in the park-like setting. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is very friendly, they will make you a coffee if you smile :-). You'll have a usage of the entire house, gardens and a rooftop sporting fabulous views. Nearby coffee shop and a restaurant are excellent, jogging through streets lined with centuries old oaks, beautiful mansions and few early morning squirrels is priceless. Fantastic shops on Grenville street are just a short walk away. If you are looking for a luxury and stiffness of air-conditioned Four Seasons, don't come here! At Balfour House you can open the windows and listen to the birds singing.

Pros: "What did you think of breakfast?" you ask!!! There was *no* breakfast (despite the place being advertised as a *bed and breakfast*. OTOH the management were amazingly cooperative about our checking out after only one night. (We were initially booked for four nights.) Moreover, since we had expressed dissatisfaction with our accommodation, we were given a 50% discount for the one night that we did stay, which I thought was more than reasonable.

Pros: Perfect for budget travellers! Balfour House offers good value accommodation for pricey Vancouver but it is not for everyone. It is an old Victorian house which has not been well maintained but would have been quite beautiful in its day. It now has a feel that is reminiscent of shared student housing. It was very nice to have our own bathroom (although toilet paper was sparse), and our corner room had big windows...a couple which opened to make a bit of a breeze. It was nice to look unto trees in this lovely, quiet neighborhood. The shared kitchen had all we needed to cook a few meals, although we had to scrounge for things, light the element with a lighter, and work with the rubbed off indications on the stove. We ate our meals outside on one of the three patio tables in the lovely backyard (sometimes scoring a chair with a cushion and definitely needing to wipe stuff down before use). The location and price point are the selling points for sure. Free street parking is a big bonus too.

Cons: Bed was only 5 ft for 2 people to share--far too small. NO blinds closed in bedroom--woke up at 5 am from the sun light. TV in living room didn't work until last day. No owners showed up ever during our stay. All chandeliers in the entire house had several working light bulbs missing. Given one tiny towel each and minute soap to use in the shared bathroom which was shared by MANY people. Paint outside peeling and rotten. Paint peeling everywhere on the outside of the house. Garden neglected.

Pros: The location was great!
Cons: We didn’t really see anyone the whole time we were there. It felt a little like we were sneaking in and out of a stranger’s house.
7.9 Good
Pros: A beautiful neighbourhood. Well connected to public transport. Bus stop around the corner.
Cons: Staff though very friendly was not always present. They said they would serve coffee, tea and muffins most mornings, but that didn't happen during our stay. Luckily there was an excellent cafe that served coffee on the corner

Pros: Quietness, warm shower, water kettle, accesibility to the main road
Cons: Lack of staff to orient, cold, light blanket
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: "What did you think of breakfast?" you ask!!! There was *no* breakfast (despite the place being advertised as a *bed and breakfast*. OTOH the management were amazingly cooperative about our checking out after only one night. (We were initially booked for four nights.) Moreover, since we had expressed dissatisfaction with our accommodation, we were given a 50% discount for the one night that we did stay, which I thought was more than reasonable.
Cons: The premises were squalid; they were nothing like the image shown on the web page. There was a pervading unpleasant smell. There were no staff present so the place felt empty and dreary. The shower was pathetic; the water trickled and was luke warm at best. When we decided to leave after the first night it was impossible to contact the management, and it was only due to the good graces of another guest (the only other person that we saw all the time that we were there) that we managed to make some sort of contact.
7.1 Good
Pros: Affordable accommodation
Cons: No wash basin in toilet so if bathroom was occupied there was nowhere to wash your hands
6.3 Good
Pros: The fact that it was a heritage home but would have been better if the exterior of the house was better maintained . Love the peaceful neighborhood , near a bus stop & some dining places. Easily accessible drive coming from the border.
Cons: We were on the 3rd floor such that I had to lug my heavy suitcase over 6 staircases with at least 8- 10 flight of steps each not mentioning the entrance which has about 6 flight of steps. The room smelled musty which means it needs a lot of airing out. A lot of the bulbs in the room were not working. No lights or motion sensor on the front porch when coming home late at night.

Cons: A lot of what makes this place good for budget travellers will offend others. There is nothing fancy or comfy/cozy about Balfour House. There is a musty old-house smell, paper is sparse, carpets are stained, kitchen cupboards are a mess, staff is rarely around, bedding isn’t a perfect fit, etc. Still, it has all you need if you can fend for yourself. Note there is no breakfast offered which is indicated on their website (Q&A section, I think). I’d stay here again without hesitation.
