A darling, welcoming B & B just 3 blocks off the Robson drag, and an easy walk to Stanley Park, Nelson House is conveniently located and very hospitable. We stayed in the Shangri-La room, which was a huge room on the top floor of their well-kept Craftsman house with a large bathroom, a nice large bed, a private patio, a jacuzzi tub, a gas fireplace, and even a small kitchen. Hot breakfast -- eggs, cheese, bacon, toast, granola, fresh berries and cream, coffee, tea, WAY more than we could finish -- was prepared to order by the owner, Dave, or his assistant, who were very nice and told us all about the history of the place and had tons of recommendations for stuff to do in the area. The place is gay-owned and LGBT-friendly, but they were also very welcoming to us straight folks too. I'll never forget our second morning there, as the assistant, Matthew, came in from shoveling snow in the freak 2008 blizzard and cooked us omelets in a T-shirt and flip-flops while telling us about the Hawaiian paradise he lived in for 10 years. We'll be coming back every chance we get!

Sweet location, great staff and management and a great place to get away while not being too far away!
Bazil cooks a great breakfast in the morning, and everyone makes you feel right at home. David, the owner, was great to be accommodating as needed and make things work!
Great folks from the bay area and the Northwest made it a great time to sit at breakfast, share stories and suggestions and begin the day.
Thanks all! -

The Nelson House is conveniently located three blocks from Robson street, giving you the chance to step away from the busy streets of Vancouver into quiet residential neighborhoods.
The house is very charming and has a common area full of books and resources for the traveling person. Breakfast is offered across from the living room and is very tasty. It is a big spread with breads, tea, granola, fruit, juice, coffee, yogurt, and a main dish (for us eggs benedict, french toast, and omelet).
We stayed in the Bombay room, which is very nice and big, BUT was noisy in the AM because the building across the way is under construction. So, if you plan to stay at Nelson's soon after reading this post, I suggest that you avoid rooms facing construction, and that you book a room on the second floor to avoid hearing people walk around while you are trying to sleep.
Highly recommended and worth the expense.
