I do not know about the property but about Expedia. The property has changed owner and my Expedia reservation was useless; no room available. The link "send a message to the property" links to an email of a store located in the same building, with no relation to the hostel. Pity the hostel has not a reservation page, for Expedia was useless to me.

Manor Hostel does not exist: alert

I arrived at the supposed location of Manor Hostel B & B on Quebec Street in Prince George shortly after 11 pm, along with another traveler who was also on board VIA rail train #6. Manor Hostel no longer exists -- though I had stayed there exactly one year ago. They are under new ownership and with a new name. The gentlemen who let us in had no record of our two separate reservations. They were full -- no beds remaining. The new owner kindly tried to accommodate us since it was pouring rain outdoors. I ended up on a hide-a-bed in the living room --- with only a thin pad separating me from the springs. I could not sleep at all, and ended up folding up the hide-a-bed and attempting to curl up on the couch. While the new owner had kindly let us in off the streets, I slept not at all. I departed as soon as daylight arrived. Please UN-LIST this location until you do a further investigation. I suspect that many reservations for future dates may ALSO have not been carried over to the new owner.

Friendly Staff

The staff was friendly and helpful, but the hostel was a bit run down and in a shady area of town. It was within walking distance of train station and downtown area.

CHEAP stay = EXPENSIVE inconvenience

Looked through different websites for reviews for this particular hostel, and wanted to give them a chance: 1) On check-in: stayed outside a locked door for 15 mins because nobody was answering the doorbell, nor was the phone number listed outside being answered 2) Signs posted everywhere that quiet time was 11pm: drunken yelling by 10pm heard, and somebody was still using the laundry 3) Checking out early: new manager and did not know how to issue a refund; owner never showed up to help. Called me to say I had to contact Expedia to handle the refund as "Expedia takes the money first to take their cut before we even see anything." 2 DAYS SPENT CALLING THE HOTEL = NO ONE ANSWERS AND NO REFUND ISSUED 4) EXPEDIA WILL NOT HELP: if you have paid fees at the hotel, saying it's out of their hands. Expedia also has a call-back feature... they call you back with an Arizona registered number, making it a long-distance and expensive phone call, where they tell you they will inquire about your concern and get back to you within 24 hours. NO CALL BACK 5) SKETCHY NEIGHBOURHOOD. Just felt off right from the getgo. Just don't waste your money.

dont stay here.

i arrived in the evening at about 9,30pm. at the door of the Manor were two person smoking narcotics and very drunk. i enquired if they were staying here and one female told me she was the manager. the other almost unable to speak from intoxication started to make comments about my hair and my back pack. upon gettig into the common area which was somewhat disorganized and dirty tje female brought me to the office because she wasnt aware of any booking. upon checkig her computer she found that indeed she had recievedtje booking but had just failed to check her emails that day. she promptly charged me and then lead mento the room. she told me she had to make the bed as it still had dirty sheets from last nights guest. i went to the redtroom and when i returned i found her tidying and tucking in the existing sheets. i asked if she had changed then or just reused the dirty ones, she laughed and carried on. the room was dirty andbnow with dirty sheets. all while her intoxicated friends watchs from the door. i roll out my sleeping bag and sleep on top of the bed. after midnight there was a lot of shouting and noise outside the door of my room. i decided not to investigate. in the morning at 5,30am i woke up and showered. and upon entering the common area -i found an individual with a needle in his arm on the sofa.. i promptly left... is this appropriate behaviour and should hotels.com be associated and sending clients to this type of establishment???

You get what you pay for minus 50%

Bathroom had only 1 shower and 2 toilets next to it. Shower was open to everybody to see as the bathroom had a sliding door with no lock. Anybody coming to the toilet - including male manager - could see people showering. Only hostel where towel wasn't provided to guest. Bed with only 1 thin blanket. Poor lighting in room.

Hotel with a room and shared facilities

The room was dusty, bed squeaks, walls are thin. There is a shared washroom with glass stand up shower. People are respectful, but it's just weird sharing and only having a sliding door with no lock for the washroom. Laundry cost $3 a cycle and dryer takes 2 cycles to dry. However, staff was nice.

More like a shelter for homeless than a hostel

This place is infested with bed bugs! I have never gotten so many with so terrible bites, to the point that my face swelled like I got into a fight. I probably would have sued them for the physical injuries I received, had I stayed in town longer, but I am constantly travelling and I don't have the time to do that. When I complained about the bed bugs seen on the nasty, unwashed blanket, first the male receptionist tried to make me look like a liar and he said "bed bugs only come out at night", and after he smelled the blanket, he decided to wash it himself. Then, after being unable to sleep at night because of the bites, he asked me, the next morning, in an evidently discriminatory and rude way "if I wasn't sure I didn't bring them in"... I'm sure he wouldn't ever said that to white people that are not dark like me. He decided to refund me for the second night that I was going to stay, but made me put my luggage inside a plastic bag "to avoid spreading the bugs around" Filthy, stinking kitchen, bathroom, and halls. Please show self respect and stay away.
