Welcome Retreat

Lovely welcome and staight forward check in after a long flight. All areas of the hostel were incredibly clean with the private double bedroom and associated washrooms etc spotless! Thoughtfully, ear plugs were in the bedroom for us to use (room facing the busy street) but didnt need them.

Area felt safe, although seemed to be a lot of drugs going on and homeless, but no trouble at all to me and my daughter. Places to eat were really nice. Cost great and staff really nice. Kitchen clean and free breakfast. Rooms ok although bit of repairs needed. I would say overall nice place to stay.

This hostel is in a very cool area that gives off 3rd world market vibes, with tons of great food stalls and cafes. The room itself was nice enough, but it was far too hot and the A/C didn't seem to work, so it was difficult to get a comfortable sleep.

First time being in a hostel after my original accommodation plans didn’t work out. I was worried about it being near a homeless shelter, but as someone who lives in Vancouver I wasn’t too phased by them. Glad to see measures such as requiring a card for after hours access. I felt safe, and the staff and other guests were friendly and respectful. There’s complimentary breakfast which is great, and lots of options within walking distance for dining out, or you can get groceries and cook your meals in the fully equipped kitchen if that’s more your thing. It’s close to major public transit routes which makes it easy to get from one area to another.
