Vancouver Hostellit

Plussat: We had a room with 2 beds and private bath that felt like a regular bathroom, not institutional bathroom. Window that opened in both room and bathroom. The hallway had similar rooms and therefore we didn’t see or hear a lot of noise or partying. Staff were super helpful with any and all questions, offered us coupons for events we weren’t aware of, and overall we felt safe and comfy in this hostel.

Miinukset: Breakfast was so-so and the breakfast room was small. The immediate neighborhood is in transition so expect some unusual (sometimes shady) characters on the street, but short walk to nicer environments.

Plussat: Most meticulous staff I've ever encountered at a hostel. This staff's work is definitely underappreciated

Plussat: The community setting

Miinukset: Surprise change of price.

Miinukset: Too noisy small roo.

Miinukset: Very uncomfortable bed on the double room, super noisy! Don't expect to sleep much, the stairs are super noisy too and from 6am you can hear people already walking. Every time someone opens and close a door you will hear it too.

Plussat: Great location and staff. Was given good directions on how to get into the hostel after closing hours and details on the parking in the area. The room had all we needed (bunk with a double and single bed for 3 people), the mattresses were comfortable and the sheets were clean. Had a sink in the room which was convenient. Got to see a real locksmith do work on the doorknob of my unit.

Miinukset: The doorknob lock (the one where you turn the nub from the inside) needed a different key than the deadbolt, which was unavailable. Luckily we only tried using the doorknob lock the morning after we arrived, or else we would have gotten locked out of our room all night, but were still locked out for a couple hours until the staff came back during business hours. The situation was sorted out quickly by getting a locksmith who had to drill the doorknob because the locking mechanism was old and stuck together.

Plussat: Staff was friendly , parking was ok

Miinukset: Everything else, units are very old, beds looked sketchy, neighbourhood was rough, communal toilet, shower was filthy and looked like it was 100 years old, walls were paper thin, I could t stay here I had to leave after 20 min. It gave me the shivers thinking about sleeping there.

Plussat: Good price, close to the train station.

Miinukset: A bit noisy throughout the night (people in the streets partying/shouting, constant movement in the halls of the hostel).
