    No elevator, (for physically challenged) bathrooms in units, but it was very cool to experience the era. The long walk to the hotel from the parking lot. Have something to transport people that are physically challenged that arrive later than normal hours.

    The uniqueness, history.

    The hotel is an original which makes it unique but you must be prepared for thin walls. Some guests can be thoughtless and loud. It is a reminder of the old days… so you need to be for prepared that. Most guests were lovely.

    Fun to stay in Barkerville. It was quiet in the evening and you could really experience the town.

    Our host / owner Rea was very accommodating throughout our stay. She made our Barkerville experience very enjoyable, from her initial warm greeting - later than we had originally planned - to providing us with a great breakfast., and providing an additional activity that was very much appreciated.

    Everything was in keeping with the historic nature of the place - no complaints. Only two of the 7 rooms have private bathrooms. Cars must be parked outside the park gates, but carts are provided for the short walk up the historic main street to the hotel. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and no elevator is available.

    This historic 19th c. Cariboo Gold Rush hotel is located on the main street in the middle of the historic Barkerville Provincial Historic Park. The park has about a hundred restored gold rush buildings, extensive interpretive programming, many restaurants and stores, a theatre, and costumed "players" to help with interpretation and entertainment. A generous continental breakfast was served.

    Thin walls as it’s an old structure- sound carries very easily- could hear people chatting and singing in the shower next door.

    Lovely old historic property- really great continental breakfast with lots of choices/ room was comfortable and ours had a private bathroom. Our hostess was incredibly helpful and friendly- there were always hot drinks and cookies and fruit available in the entrance foyer.

    Delicious continental breakfast, lots to choose from, including home baking. Wonderful to be right in Barkerville and soak up the ambiance. Room small, (they were in the “old days”) but very comfortable. Rhea, the lady running the hotel, was very helpful about information about the surrounding area.

    I have nothing to mention. It really was an excellent stay.

    The location and host were excellent. The authenticity of the period of which it is modeled was wonderful to experience. It was clean and breakfast was rich with a variety of breakfast choices. If you want to escape and slip into the wonder of this fantastic and historical time in canada. This is the place for you. You will be right in the middle of everything that is Barkerville. Your hosts are sure to help you feel comfortable and answer your needs.

    Being a Victorian hotel, in every sense of the word, the walls are a bit thin between the rooms so I would not recommend honeymooners stay there. Not that they would not enjoy it, but guests in other rooms might be disturbed.

    Breakfast was highly varied, delicious and plentiful. The ambience was terrific and the lady of the house (staff) was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome and I would return and also recommend the hotel to others. The hotel is within the attraction of Barkerville and we were able to enjoy wandering around after the visitors had gone for the day. The long summer solstice gave us a wonderful opportunity to experience nature (fox, ground squirrels, birds, etc) as well as the fine museum quality attractions.

    The weather turned cold and wet and we weren’t as prepared as we could have been. The location is remote and high in the mountains.

    The is a wonderfully unique experience as you are literally sleeping in the museum. I felt like we should be dressed in period costumes. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms nicely updated., Rhea gave us a very warm welcome. Continental breakfast was lovely. Tea and coffee available all day in the parlour.
