Very nice staff, a staff from Hong Kong who works overnight shift at the front introduced me a lot of restaurants, spots and highlights in Vancouver.
There are different tours which are free and held by the hostel. Nice and huge common area and open kitchen to cook. The washrooms are generally clean too. Overall, pretty good experience to stay there, and it is in a very convenient location.
Just one thing to mention, if there is a lock for the locker in the room that will be perfect.
I had a wonderful stay at this hostel.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit, always making sure I had everything I needed.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were well maintained. I was also very happy with how conveniently located the hostel was—everything I needed was just a short walk away. Overall, I’m really pleased with my experience and would definitely stay here again!
Overall everything was amazing! Just the people in the area were questionable, with homeless or drunk people… That was a bit uncomfortable but everything else with the property was amazing, with friendly staff and clean rooms and facilities. There’s also restaurants and shops nearby, and very good public transit as well
Better than expected hostel stay. People are nice and respectful. Facilities are ok. Bedroom is small, do not bring big luggage. Bed is alright, bathroom is clean, shared kitchen is clean and has plenty of fridge space for everyone. The lobby is a nice place to eat and chill out. Recommended for those who plan to spend a lot of time outside and use this place to rest. At night it can get quite rowdy outside. Location is super convenient, walkable to most of the city attractions.
Well staffed, great security, excellent bedding and mattress. Great showers and bathrooms, constantly checked for cleanliness. Well equipped kitchen with good storage for food.
Great hostel on a street with full of drug addicts
The hostel itself is a good place and many opportunities to take public transport. However, the great politicians of British Columbia transformed the hostel opposite to this one to a drug shelter. Hence, there are hundreds of hardcore drug addicts lying across the street making it a very unsafe place for families or single women. Not something to blame the hostel but eventually they are the ones to suffer from this development. For tourists, try to avoid any place that is on Granville due to the aforementioned drug addicts making it an unsafe place.
Okay so I’m a 54 year old married woman and not the target market client for a hostel. However we wanted a cheap centrally located place to stay.
On the plus side it’s cheap and a safe location, even if a bit mixey. The staff were super helpful (especially Grant), the room (we had a private en-suite room) was spotless and the bed comfy. Also there was free breakfast from 6am and cheap food in the evening. On the negative side the room was tiny and very noisy during the night. On our first night someone blow dried their hair at 2am in the communal bathroom waking us up. On the second night someone was violently sick. We got little sleep!
However after the first night I was saying this is brilliant why do we normally stay in hotels but after the second realised there was a reason we did. So all in all good value for money but remember it’s a hostel aimed at young people and not oldies like me!
I really liked my stay here and will most likely stay again next time I need somewhere cheap to stay in Vancouver. Here are my pros and cons;
Pros
- Breakfast was good. They have a couple different kinds of bagels to choose from and then there's jam and cream cheese. There's also hard boiled eggs and assorted fruit. Another point for having OAT MILK for the coffee! I never see this at breakfast buffets!
- Free Events/Activities (I did not go but saw this was offered, they go to places like Lynn Canyon and you just pay transit).
- Highly social. I talked to a lot of cool people here despite only staying one night for a concert, it's a decently sized hostel and in the downtown core so it attracts a lot of that kinda crowd.
- Proximity. It's downtown, you can walk to a lot of things OR take the skytrain.
- Great staff. Staff was really helpful with any questions and I think front desk was open 24 hours (or was at least open late when I got back from my concert at 10:30pm)
Cons
- Noise level. Walls are thin so you can easily hear other rooms conversations. I was also in a room that faced the street so heard music until 1-2am (although they've stated that you can ask for a room further away from the noise- it didn't bother me enough to impact sleep). This is to be expected in a hostel that is on one of the main busy Vancouver streets.
- Bunks are loud. Sides of the beds are covered with metal so any time you hit it by accident it makes more noise than you'd think.
Staff were great, common area great, room was fine. Great option for budget traveler or someone seeking hostel stay. Breakfast included is a really nice touch. Good vibes
The room has a good size and the staff is always keeping the place clean regardless of the amount of guests. The breakfast is a good option to start up your day in a healthy way. If anything, be wary if you cannot use the stairs because there are a number of them even if you're on the first floor. Nevertheless it was a great experience and totally recommend it.
