The Spotlight on Barclay Hotel

Classic Comfort in the Heart of Vancouver


The Barclay Hotel offers a charming, heritage-style stay right in the center of Vancouver on bustling Robson Street. This cozy and budget-friendly hotel blends old-world character with modern convenience, placing you within walking distance to downtown's vibrant live music scene, shopping, and dining. Whether you're catching a show or just exploring the city, Barclay gives you a solid home base with a truly local feel.

Why Concert-goers love it

With top music venues just a short walk or quick cab ride away, you’ll never miss an opening act. The hotel’s 24-hour reception means you can check in late without hassle, while the quiet, non-smoking environment makes it easy to wind down after the encore. It’s also well-connected with transit, ideal for those heading to shows across the city.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central crash pad
  • Solo travelers ticking off a dream concert
  • Couples turning a show into a weekend escape
  • Fans who appreciate peace and quiet after the music ends
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who want location without the price tag

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Den Bar & Lounge is a go-to for pre-show drinks or a nightcap, offering a full drink menu and sports on TV. You’ll find late-night eats right outside the hotel on Robson Street, with a variety of restaurants and quick bites in walking distance. While there’s no breakfast buffet, cafes nearby offer great options for a slow morning after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You're steps from Vancouver’s lively nightlife—bars, lounges, and live music venues are all around. While the hotel doesn’t host live performances, its central location means you're never far from the action. The Den provides a mellow spot to sip on a local craft beer and rehash the setlist.

What People Say

Guests love Barclay Hotel’s unbeatable location, calling it a “hidden gem” for its value and walkability. Many mention the clean rooms, accommodating staff, and charming vintage vibe. It’s often praised as a perfect place to crash after a concert without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are on the smaller side, and the building shows its age in places. There’s no elevator, so pack light if you're on a higher floor. Still, most guests agree the price and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a central, affordable, and no-fuss stay in downtown Vancouver, the Barclay Hotel hits all the right notes.

Convenient for the days we...

Liked: Barclay Hotel was on a good, direct bus route to the cruise ship terminal and there were plenty of eating places within easy walk of the hotel. Due to renovations going on in the complex it was not an easy job to get to our room but thankfully staff were willing to help with bags. The room was very small and we were surprised to have to ask for a kettle cups and cutlery so we could make a simple cup of tea. They were provided willingly but believe all rooms should be provided with these facilities without having to ask. The decor is very dated; maybe with the renovations, some modernising could be done to the older rooms.
Disliked: No tea/coffee making facilities in the room. There may have been a separate bedroom with a double bed, but it was so tight that there was no room around the bed. We slept in the bed in the lounge/sitting area.

Good

Liked: Room was clean and spacious and hotel is in a great location.
Disliked: There was no parking available at the hotel but advertises parking is available at the property and was one of the reasons we’d booked as we picked up our car at the airport. There is a lot of building work ongoing and whilst we were warned about this in advance, workers started extremely early(before 7am).
