15 minute walk to the water and the convention center. It’s a beautiful city if you can get it for under $100 a night that would be OK but due to it being during a convention it was very expensive. I did get my own sink, but had to share a toilet shower. Staff was very pleasant. I would stay there again for the right price.

The hostel benefits from a prime location close to downtown, making it convenient for guests who want quick access to shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions. However, the overall experience was let down by poor cleanliness. There was a persistent and unpleasant odor throughout the property, including in the rooms and common areas. This significantly impacted my comfort during the stay. While the location is excellent, I would hesitate to return unless improvements are made to address the smell and overall hygiene.

The metal bunkbed in the room could do with some DW40 and tightening. The constant squeaking was unbearable.

Although a cheap option for two female friends, it didn’t feel a great location. Unfortunately homeless people had taken up many of the alleys and our room was in direct sight. So it became extremely noisy at night till the early hours of the morning. Along with demolitions to the next door building,it became our less favourable hostel. The showers were in need of a daily clean and almost put you off using them. Stayed 3 days and not cleaned during that time. On a positive,staff where very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here for a couple nights vacation in Vancouver. Nice location in downtown, close to restaurants and shops. As a "hostel," the amenities are a bit spare, but it's a good value if all you really need is a place to sleep and store your belongings while exploring the city. One caution is that the entrance stairs are narrow and steep which can be a complication with your luggage or if you have mobility issues.

It's a really central location, bathrooms were clean and the room had a sink in it which was great! The only thing we didnt like was that the bottom bunkbed was broken and when they fixed it, the slats/base was put together wrong, which made the mattress/surface uneven, with a bar in the middlenof the bed and a dip on the other. We moved the bed and put the mattress on the floor for the second night and our sleep was great then

The building is old and my expectation doesnt met its beautiful in the picture but in reality it wasnt cleaning stuff is not in a proper stock room you can see it everywhere and they didn't clean the rooms since we stay at the place, staff are nice infront of the building are scattered the homeless so we need to be careful. We arrived late and we depart earlier than the days it would be because of our flight schedule. Hope the owner of the place should give attention to all the details. Like the cleanliness when you enter the facility its smelly and you can see the used linens at the hallway and its kind of eyesoar and not good for the eyesight and it should not be out at the hallway since there are cleaners at the day may e the guest can leave it as is inside the room.

Everything was fine at this simple, affordable hostel, the only thing, they need to clean more hallways and dust. They are well located in downtown. They have there, towels, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, liquid dish soap, cutlery, crockery, cups, glasses washing and dryer machine.
