Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I am a frequent flyers for years . This is the first time to stay in a hostel. It is definitely better than those 200dollars a night hotel . I understood there is a trade off for a shared room but it is clean and people are nice ! For this price . I would definitely come back again
I really liked my stay here and will most likely stay again next time I need somewhere cheap to stay in Vancouver. Here are my pros and cons;
Pros
- Breakfast was good. They have a couple different kinds of bagels to choose from and then there's jam and cream cheese. There's also hard boiled eggs and assorted fruit. Another point for having OAT MILK for the coffee! I never see this at breakfast buffets!
- Free Events/Activities (I did not go but saw this was offered, they go to places like Lynn Canyon and you just pay transit).
- Highly social. I talked to a lot of cool people here despite only staying one night for a concert, it's a decently sized hostel and in the downtown core so it attracts a lot of that kinda crowd.
- Proximity. It's downtown, you can walk to a lot of things OR take the skytrain.
- Great staff. Staff was really helpful with any questions and I think front desk was open 24 hours (or was at least open late when I got back from my concert at 10:30pm)
Cons
- Noise level. Walls are thin so you can easily hear other rooms conversations. I was also in a room that faced the street so heard music until 1-2am (although they've stated that you can ask for a room further away from the noise- it didn't bother me enough to impact sleep). This is to be expected in a hostel that is on one of the main busy Vancouver streets.
- Bunks are loud. Sides of the beds are covered with metal so any time you hit it by accident it makes more noise than you'd think.
Staff were great, common area great, room was fine. Great option for budget traveler or someone seeking hostel stay. Breakfast included is a really nice touch. Good vibes
Very nice staff, a staff from Hong Kong who works overnight shift at the front introduced me a lot of restaurants, spots and highlights in Vancouver.
There are different tours which are free and held by the hostel. Nice and huge common area and open kitchen to cook. The washrooms are generally clean too. Overall, pretty good experience to stay there, and it is in a very convenient location.
Just one thing to mention, if there is a lock for the locker in the room that will be perfect.
