A BEAUTIFUL PLACE! Built in 1896 during the Victorian era, the Urban Hideaway Guesthouse is, uniquely, one of the only downtown homes of Vancouver to survive and watch the city grow up around it.
Your friendly hosts Janine and Ken offer a spotlessly clean & relaxed, west coast alternative to the typical plastic hotel experience.
All rooms have their own unique personality, TV, DVD, and a sink/Vanity in the room. Most have great city and park views!
For the convenience of all guests there is a big, fully-equipped country kitchen for your cooking. an entertainment room, roof-top flower gardens, smokers refuge, free bicycle hire, free internet access, free computer workstations, acomprehensive complimentary city map, guest library, 300 DVD Library, laundry facilities and storage for your gear.
FREE CANADIAN BREAKFAST! We keep a fully stocked breakfast larder in our big gourmet country kitchen so you can cook your own Canadian Breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast, home made jams, spreads, hot & cold cereal, pancakes, fruit, veggies, tea & coffee etc..) .
Here, in the heart of the city, you are only steps away from just about anything you feel like doing, eating, shopping for, or seeing while here..
Great place Heard some real horror stories about other Vancouver hostels and am really glad I stayed at the Urban Hideaway....for the third time already.
Can do nothing but recommend the place. Great location, great people, I'd go back there anytime!
Right in the Middle of Vancouver! 1 1/2 Blocks from the Granville Skytrain Station 581 Richards Street @ Dunsmuir Ave
From Train/Bus Station: Hop on the Skytrain (across the road from the Station) and travel 2 stops (2 min) to Granville Station. Then exit via the Seymour Street Exit and walk north 1/2 block (towards the mountains view if it''s not raining), and then walk one block east to Richards Street, make a left and we''re right there behind the cool yellow gate.
From Airport: Take a Bus, shuttle or Taxi into downtown, it takes about 15- 30 minutes depending on trafic.
