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.
