Fodor's Expert Review Barclay Hotel

1348 Robson St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 1C5, Canada

The location just steps from great shopping and affordable rates make this three-story building one of the city's best-value pensione-style 2-star hotels. The guest rooms are bright and clean, if a bit basic, but the 1930s building, with its wide corridors, skylights, and mahogany staircase, has old-world charm. Most of the front rooms overlooking Robson Street have mountain views, but the back rooms are quieter. Because the hotel caters to bus tours, make sure to book in advance.
