Didn't eat the breakfast. There are many breakfast options within walking distance. The bunk bed was easy to climb.

Great location, close to shopping stores and tourist attractions. If you want a cheap and comfortable place, this is a best deal. Staff very nice, and helpful. I LOVED their cat, Oreo, he’s living in the first floor, you can pet him, he’s not shy. Keep in mind the cat because he’s a part of the family.

The hostel is amazing - great staff, amazing location, and best breakfast I’ve had in a while. The private rooms remind me of my college dorm - not a bad experience at 25.

Filthy and bugs... The window wouldn't stay up and almost came down on my hand... Someone left a mess in one of the stalls.. It was not worth $74.00 which is a lot more than what the site said I would pay..
Nothing... Would never stay there again..

Close to the city center. Good breakfast deal. Friendly hostel staff.

Bring your earplugs because David Guetta is going to be waking you up in the middle of the night.
Right near the famous Gastown steam clock! Lots of cute cafes around and easy to get to public transport.

The outside, inside and staff! So many homeless and drugged up people walking around. The entrance to check in looks so dingy. There are only stairs, so level 2 (max) is 5 flights of stairs. The room we stayed in had one broken and small window (nothing like the pictures) and two high chairs and a bunk bed for a private room! It was sweltering hot in the room that we had to open the windows and keep it open with a bin as it wouldn’t hold. The beds looked clean but I was scratching all night. The showers are extremely tiny and are unavailable from ~7- ~8am due to cleaning. Whereas the male bathrooms are open access with no lock- talk about sexism?! In the morning they knocked on the door at 11.15am once then barged in with a male (we are two females), apologised and then two minutes later a female cleaner knocked once and opened the door asking us when we are leaving! The showers had mould on the corners and contained 2 x showers on level 2 for how ever many females. You’d actually have to get out of the shower to dry yourself and dress in the bathrooms or your own room. I’m self conscious so I had to dry quickly and run to the room. There are so many random drunks allowed into the bar until two and so that’s another thing to deal with. Rats running the entire street and police sirens all night. I’m not one for such detailed bad reviews unless I would want the same thing! If you’re ok with this and an overpriced one night - or two - with easy access to a bar directly downstairs then this is it, but I’d never, ever stay here again even if I was desperate
The location and bed was clean and that’s it!

Common room needs to be cleaned regularly. It was dirty in the morning and it should be spotless.
The size of the room, the cleanliness of the bathrooms, the renovated walls and wainscoting, the friendly front desk.

I stayed in an 8 bed dorm. The room was terrible. The bunk beds were unstable, making it incredibly disruptive when I climbed into the top bunk. There was no air circulation whatsoever and it smelled terrible and was uncomfortably hot. The entire building is very old and creaky. It was definitely overpriced for how bad it is. The bar downstairs plays music very loudly until late and then starts again surprisingly early. There was a cat in the hostel, which would be terrible for people with allergies, and wasn't clear to me ahead of time.
The mattress was somewhat comfortable. Staff were nice though.

Very bad experience, even though I am used to sleeping in hostels. Impossible to sleep before 2:30am as the rooms are just above their students bar playing very loud music. You can litterally hear every word of every song played and of guests excitement until the bar closes around 2am, even with good earplugs. The facilities are also in a bad state: the handle to turn on the shower got off the wall when I held it; half of the plugs in the room were not working. The bunk beds shake quite a lot and being on the upper bed is also unsafe as there is no safety bar preventing you from falling from your mat in your sleep. Overall, unless you're partying until late and just find a place to crash for a few hours I wouldn't recommend it.
Super central. Nice to offer dorms as small as 2 people. Good enough mattresses/duvets.

I am personally not used to hostels, it’s uncomfortable sharing the washroom, having people you don’t know in the room, and weird mixed smells. But for someone who is used to this kind of experience, is suitable.
It has a great location, a bar downstairs, good security and nice hosts.
