I asked to stay in an all girl room but to my surprise, was sharing the room with men. And those weren't the quietest people. Also, I reserved the room for 2 days but was charged for 3 days. Other than that, everything else was good.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit, always making sure I had everything I needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were well maintained. I was also very happy with how conveniently located the hostel was—everything I needed was just a short walk away. Overall, I’m really pleased with my experience and would definitely stay here again!

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.

Overall everything was amazing! Just the people in the area were questionable, with homeless or drunk people… That was a bit uncomfortable but everything else with the property was amazing, with friendly staff and clean rooms and facilities. There’s also restaurants and shops nearby, and very good public transit as well

Better than expected hostel stay. People are nice and respectful. Facilities are ok. Bedroom is small, do not bring big luggage. Bed is alright, bathroom is clean, shared kitchen is clean and has plenty of fridge space for everyone. The lobby is a nice place to eat and chill out. Recommended for those who plan to spend a lot of time outside and use this place to rest. At night it can get quite rowdy outside. Location is super convenient, walkable to most of the city attractions.

The room has a good size and the staff is always keeping the place clean regardless of the amount of guests. The breakfast is a good option to start up your day in a healthy way. If anything, be wary if you cannot use the stairs because there are a number of them even if you're on the first floor. Nevertheless it was a great experience and totally recommend it.

Great hostel on a street with full of drug addicts

The hostel itself is a good place and many opportunities to take public transport. However, the great politicians of British Columbia transformed the hostel opposite to this one to a drug shelter. Hence, there are hundreds of hardcore drug addicts lying across the street making it a very unsafe place for families or single women. Not something to blame the hostel but eventually they are the ones to suffer from this development. For tourists, try to avoid any place that is on Granville due to the aforementioned drug addicts making it an unsafe place.

Excellent value but there is a cost!

Okay so I’m a 54 year old married woman and not the target market client for a hostel. However we wanted a cheap centrally located place to stay. On the plus side it’s cheap and a safe location, even if a bit mixey. The staff were super helpful (especially Grant), the room (we had a private en-suite room) was spotless and the bed comfy. Also there was free breakfast from 6am and cheap food in the evening. On the negative side the room was tiny and very noisy during the night. On our first night someone blow dried their hair at 2am in the communal bathroom waking us up. On the second night someone was violently sick. We got little sleep! However after the first night I was saying this is brilliant why do we normally stay in hotels but after the second realised there was a reason we did. So all in all good value for money but remember it’s a hostel aimed at young people and not oldies like me!

Overnight stay. Clean facility. Free breakfast. Walkable neighbourhood. If you're a light sleeper, might not be the best. Can hear people walking around building pretty clearly and there's street noise. For those of us who can sleep through most noise, I highly recommend.

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
