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.

    Good location. The receptionists are nice and helpful, even allowed me to check-in 3 hours early for free of charge. This hostel makes me feel safe to stay, female washroom is always locked and needs the key to get in. I stayed only 1 night and lived on 2nd floor , it. is quiet. Kitchen is clean with some cooking utensils and has small fridge and lockers to store food.

    This place is budget price and as such is budget accommodation. If you go in with that attitude you won't be disappointed. Great location. Has everything you need. Breakfast is basic but will kick start your day. Found staying there no noisier than the Marriott in LA.

    Friendly & helpful staff. Flexible check-in hours. Easy to reach via public transit. Great location near cafes & restaurants. Clean & comfortable room. Shared bathroom was clean and more spacious than other hostels we've stayed at. Quick peak at the shared lounge looked well equipped (foosball & pool tables).

    Booked a private bunk bed room which is a great option if you are on a budget and travelling as a couple (this was the cheapest option we could find in Downtown Vancouver). The beds were really comfortable and our room was quiet so we had a good sleep. Locked storage available in the rooms. Great location with lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Hot showers and good WiFi strength.

    The hostel proposes different activities to discover the area. This is quite intersting if you travel alone to meet other backpackers.
