Great location

Great location. Walked from the hullo ferry and to our concert at Roger’s centre. Neat to be tied to a pub next door. Nothing luxury but gave us what we needed. Felt slightly over priced for a shared bathroom. But it is downtown

A great place downtown

The location for downtown is fantastic, my room facing the street was loud a night from the bar below and street noise. The kitchen/ lounge was fantastic, lots of room for food and complete kitchen to cook in and friendly atmosphere to meet new friends. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were hot and spacious. The bunkers were comfortable for bunk bed and the bedding was fine. The security storage under the bed fit my open carry on bag and other personal items. I purchased a lock they offered for $10 and felt very secure with my belongings. The security was excellent and the staff very helpful. I checked out and left my bags in a secure space until 5 pm.

I had a good time and experience at this hostel. Close to downtown and important attractions. Just make sure to pack a towel with you. They have towels but you have to pay. Otherwise, it is a nice hostel.

Great value!

Very handy location in Vancouver, 10-15min walk to Canada Place & train station, Gastown, etc. Rooms & bathroom were kept very clean & you can do your laundry from 4pm to midnight daily (so housekeeping staff can do necessary laundry first). Bunk bed was comfortable, plenty of local food outlets available until late & the bar downstairs has something on every night. That can get a bit noisy with karaoke, etc echoing thru the building, but not a huge issue. Enjoyed my stay 4 days & would recommend!

The Deluxe Double room that we got is a corner unit, newly renovated and is charmingly decorated. It is spacious, nice firm bed, and comfortable enough with nice bench along one wall where there is a window looking down at the street. It would be nice to have at least a sink in the room at the price that it is at, especially since it is a large room and the farthest from the communal bathroom as well! The staff was very helpful and efficient and the bars on the main floor are cool and unique. The noise of doors shutting and people talking in the hallway started at 7 am and is non-stop unfortunately -- so you need to be prepared to wear earplugs or to rise early. Also there is no shampoo or any washing liquid the showers.

Had a private room: beds were not comfortable, very loud street noise and could hear the other guests. Shared bathroom was somewhat clean but run down. Would not stay longer than one night. Excellent location to the cruise terminal and easy and quick access to the sky train.
