Awkward, unprofessional, unclean.
We arrived at this "b&b" a little early, called the phone number on the front door to check in with the "manager phillip". Called 3 times, no answer. So we waited until after the posted check-in time, knocked on the door. The "manager" answered the door, and informed us that the room we booked isn't available anymore, as the person who booked it the night before "just told him that he was going to spend another night". He then offered to show us other rooms that were available, for a higher rate. The "rooms" were literally just sections of his house with sheets hung up. Not private, not clean, super uncomfortable. He then offered to move the guy (who was in our room) to another room, and that we could be in there in 5 minutes. That is not enough time to change the bedding or clean up AT ALL. We told him we want our money back and we will be going elsewhere. He agreed to a refund after some hesitation. BEWARE of this "b&b"! I would not recommend to anyone. Very unprofessional and awkward. The pictures are extremely deceiving. I will be watching my credit card balance to make sure I actually don't get charged for the room.

Home away from home
What a wonderful experience! Service was above and beyond my expectations! Nothing better than having some great home cooking after a long day of travelling. The rooms were nice and clean, with ample room for all my luggage, and the bed was incredibly comfortable (never slept more soundly outside of my own bed). Love the host Phillip! He was extremely helpful and hospitable, directing me to all the best sites and hang-out spots in town. This B&B will now be my home away from home!

Very affordable place to sleep.
Phillip what a guy. He does it all with care and attention. I enjoyed my stay and will return next week. It's primarily a place to sleep but I chose to sit on the deck for a couple of beverages while socializing for a few other guests. My room also had a large tv with netflicks.

Comfortable stay. Opportunities to meet travellers from all over the world- much like a hostel with free breakfast and inexpensive dinner in that regard. Had private room with en suite with jacuzzi. Owner presents as someone with experience in customer service.

worst experience ever!
Owner was not there to let us in. We waited for hours. Called and left a note. Spoke with hotels.com who kept us on the phone for 4 hours as we waited outside with no place to stay. We were late to a wedding because they couldn't get us into another room. We had to go get ready at a public restroom after being on the phone with theme for 4 hours, explaining the situation to 9 different people getting transferred and then getting hung up on at the end. Worst Experience ever! And the place looked disgusting from the outside. In all fairness we never saw the inside and the owners voicemail box was full so we couldn't even leave a voice mail.

Flophouse, not a B&B
We made a last-minute decision to visit Vancouver and everything in the area was booked, except A1 B&B. It turned out to be a derelict ranch house. The owner insisted we pay up front in cash. And though our room had beds, the adjacent rooms were bereft of furniture but still occupied, by men sleeping on the floor. Oh, and there was a kid who spoke no English living in a tent in the backyard. Anyway, the place passed my bed bug inspection and we had no other options, so we stayed. On the first morning, we woke up to the sounds of screaming - the owner accusing one of the guys sleeping on the floor of stealing his iPad. He then informed us that, if we wanted breakfast, we'd have to follow him to another house. Totally weirded out, we declined and left for the day, carrying all of our valuables with us. The second night was uneventful, until around 3:30 in the morning, when we woke up to police storming into our bedroom with guns drawn. They were responding to a report of assault. Several of the employees of the B&B, we learned, had outstanding warrants, and hid from the police in the backyard. We were interviewed by cops for 2 hours. This guy is apparently moving his operation from the Bryan Place location to 9219 122nd St, Surrey. Please be aware that this is a flophouse, not a B&B. If you're looking for a place to do drugs and hang out with violent criminals, then look no further.

Not for everyone, but OH BOY!
When I say its not for everyone, its not for everyone, and that's not a bad thing. 1.) It's a house turned into a hotel so don't expect a typical hotel experience. 2.)It'll feel like you're staying at your relative's home. 3.)The price you're charged is UNBEATABLY cheap! 4.)Free breakfast & if the man in charge likes you its free dinners & Free food! 5.)The man in charge is a great guy who's very kind and really takes care of you. He goes out of his way to make you happy. In sum, it is not just another hotel, you'll feel like you're sleeping at your family's place, and it was wonderful while it lasted for me and my friends.

Not like the pictures
So for the little we paid to stay here each night it was fine but don't expect anything like the pictures. It's more like staying a great aunts house who lives in red deer than a hotel or even motel experience. some of the guests can be interesting to, and not in the best way

Dirty, smelly, and dishonest
I booked a room with a private bathroom, but when I got to the property I was told there was no private bathroom. I was relocated after several hours on the phone and promised by the A1 B&B manager that I wouldn't be charged since I wasn't staying there. However when I got home I saw he charged me anyway. I am glad I didn't stay there because the property was dirty and had a bad smell. It is basically a house turned into a dormitory. Even if you are looking for inexpensive accommodation, there are better options.

Terrible, disorganised, do not visit
Place is simply a rundown house that has been hastily converted into a BnB. Was not given a key to lock the room and had to leave luggage in the car. Had 2 people walk into my room, one was another guest, and in the morning one of the staff entered through a door that they had control over the lock, not me, and without knocking on the door. Owner responded with an aggressive reply to the Expedia survey about check-in. I am totally fine with basic accommodation and have stayed in hostels but this does not

New B&B owner made a good impression
After hearing about how Surrey was a somewhat unsafe neighborhood, I didn't actually stay at the B&B. However, I was very impressed by how proactive the owner was in making sure I got there, giving me a call when I didn't show up at the pre-arranged time. On top of this, he didn't even charge me for the cancelled stay (although he would have been in his rights to do so). Made the trip just a little bit better!

Charming B&B
It was a very cosy B&B located in a suburb neighbourhood. There is only a few rooms, but the atmosphere is nice and the host gives advice on how to view the city. The location is a bit far from the center of Vancouver, but besides this I can only recommend it.

Lille rart sted langt væk fra byens larm
Det var et fint lille sted udenfor Vancouver centrum. En rigtig rar vært, som ville gæsterne det bedste. Huset ligner ikke et hotel, men når man kommer ind er det meget hyggeligt. Hotellet er så langt væk, at man bør have en bil.
