Nelson House Bed and Breakfast
Rates, Reservations & Policies

elson House B & B is open all year except for Dec. 24 & 25, Dec. 31 and January 1.

Children? The guest house is adult-oriented, gay-owned and people-friendly. Kids 16 years and over are welcome if accompanied by a well-behaved parent.

Pets? "Ozzie", our Cairn Terrier, visits only the downstairs public rooms. Since every effort is made to keep guestrooms free of allergens, other pets cannot be accommodated.

Rates are seasonal and vary by room type. All of our rates include full Canadian breakfast, free local calls, wireless internet and off-street parking.

The chart below gives all of our annual rates. Please ask if three persons wish to share a room; only certain rooms can accommodate three and there is a $50 surcharge/night. Weekly discounts are available except in High Season. Two night minimum stays may apply on busy weekends. See below for occasional specials. Book early as we very frequently fill up!

Specials: None at the moment.

A Special is applicable only at time of original reservation for the indicated room. No other discounts can be combined with these specials.

Accommodations Taxes in Vancouver are the 10% BC Hotel Tax and the 5% federal Goods & Service Tax(GST). The latter used to be rebatable to foreign visitors on accommodation charges but the rebate program was cancelled on April 1, 2007. If you have any receipts dated before April 1, then you can still use this GST Rebate Claim Form.

US Value is evident in the quality of your Vancouver experience. Guaranteed - that is what you will remember. At the moment, the US and Canadian dollars are virtually at par. No more tricky exchange rates to figure! For all international currency calculations, you may click here .              

Reservations are taken very seriously. We have been in business for over seventeen years and earned the respect of our customers and community. Every room/night that you reserve represents 17% of our 6 room, family-owned establishment. Imagine booking 17 % of your local Marriott!
