This was my first time staying in a shared property kind of location. The first night was a tad noisy with people returning late and but I was able to reach out to the property managers who were able to control the people who didn’t realize it was 2 am in the morning. It’s an ideal place for younger crowd who want to have a place and travel and sight see rest of the day. What is amazing the people who run this place will respond to any queries any time day or night.

The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

The room was kind of messy and not completely clean. Cobwebs in the closet for example. Some of the bathrooms were better kept than others. Overall an okay place to stay short-term or if you do mind a messy area. Service was good and easy to communicate with.

The Backpacker house, is literally someone’s house. Beds were basically on the floor. We were told larger lockers would be in the dorm of sharing 5 people, there were no lockers in the room, they were all downstairs. I therefore spent more on the room for no benefit. You have to walk past some sketchy areas to get there. If you do not have a cell phone you cannot check in as it is done by text. Bathrooms were fine.

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.
