I arrived in the midst of a big storm, around 9 pm and staff were friendly and helpful as we waited for wifi to come back on for checkin. I chose the location because of its close proximity to Pacific Central Station and it was easy to catch my 530 am bus to Kelowna, with staff available. Very good to know for my next trip to Vancouver.

I booked a single room to pre-study for school and the host gave me a double room with a large table and a chair to study! Shower never gets cold, and even had cookware. Got a lot done in those two days I stayed.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I selected the hostel for its location and relatively cheap price. Please mind, that across the road there is a building where the junkies live. It is safe, but vibes...

Great location, very safe and walkable to Stanley Park, Granville Island and Downtown. 2 minutes away from supermarkets and eateries. Hostel was lovely, 4 bed female dorm, spacious with several chargers and light on bed. Bunk beds very new, not noisy! Washroom always clean. Staff friendly.

For the money, the location was dope. Within walking distance to everything we needed. Hostel offered plenty of advice on cheap things to do in Van and how to meet other backpackers.

Good location, cheap stay in Vancouver. The beds were comfy and having rooms of four people allowed for a more quiet night than at other hostels with larger rooms.
