On the northern edge of Downtown, and close to both Gastown and the waterfront, Urban Hideaway Guest House is an owner-run guesthouse with a complimentary hot breakfast and a cozy vibe. All rooms come with TV, DVD player, sink and a fan and have original wooden floors and comfortable beds. The 100-year-old rowhouse is set back from the street, so despite its central location you can be assured of a good night's sleep. Popular with mature travelers on a budget, this is an excellent choice for those who find hostels a bit too loud and youthful.
