The bed was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful

Laurelee, Canada

The common rooms' kitchen facility was good. It was well stocked with utensils. Ample storage space for food. The bed was fairly comfy. Location is spot on, well connected and near bus stops/skyline stations. Laundry facilities were good too. This place is good for meeting other people cause they try to arrange House parties and other events to encourage a more social gathering

Sanjana, Bangladesh

Location. Price is comparatively cheap to other hotels/B&Bs in the area. Beds were comfortable. They gave us a fan upon request for free.

Shrishti, United States of America

Great location, super easy to access and an awesome price!

Kayla, United States of America

Property is over a lively restaurant but extremely loud band playing until 3am made it impossible to sleep.

Elizabeth, United States of America

Great location right in the middle of downtown. The staff were really friendly and extremely accommodating. And Oreo the cat (on the first floor) is just the cutest.

Roopa, United States of America

The front desk staff were very nice and explained things well. The breakfast discount coupon was nice too. The resident cat was nice as well! Vancouver was very pretty once I went to neighborhoods beyond where the Cambie Hostel is located.

Cindy, United States of America

Gear lockers in the mixed dorms were awesome. Felt confident leaving everything behind.

Michael, Canada

Super convenient location, cute building and most of the staff were pretty awesome

Amanda, Canada

The location is great..very close to downtown..it does get a little sketchy at night though. The wifi ran smooth and the $5 breakfast card was a nice touch.

If you want to sleep I wouldn’t really suggest booking here. The beds are those flimsy metal ones so if one of the people moves even a tiny bit it feels like an earthquake. No security bars or anything. When I went there was a loud house party until about 3.30 am (I think this may be a normal Saturday thing). The showers are the tiniest I’ve ever seen so I think if you are bigger than ‘normal’ you won’t be able to shower or turn around.
It’s cheap, staff are friendly, 5dollars off the breakfast menu and it’s in a good location

“Only win is location, I guess at this price Vancouver don't do hospitality”

- • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

It smelled bad in the corridors (cat piss maybe?). Shower rooms were not room, it was just barely a shower spot-couldn't even move properly it was so small. Only 2 washrooms for the whole floor wasn't enough. They ask guests to strip bed sheets before checking out. I don't mind cleaning after myself. But it felt like they were just trying to get some work done by guests for their convenience. The hostel didn't have any welcoming feature in it. They mentioned the cat specifically on their info page, so I wasn't surprised but greatly annoyed that it kept lounging in my bed whenever it got any chance. Won't even move when I would climb in!! The 8 bed rooms had only one window and the other room would get very hot and humid. ALSO, not all bed has charging points and none had it's own light. In fact it was quiet difficult to find the only light in room hidden behind one of the bunks with no direction given at all
The common rooms' kitchen facility was good. It was well stocked with utensils. Ample storage space for food. The bed was fairly comfy. Location is spot on, well connected and near bus stops/skyline stations. Laundry facilities were good too. This place is good for meeting other people cause they try to arrange House parties and other events to encourage a more social gathering

“Good location, Very average hostel !”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Private Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
You get what you pay. They try to keep the bathrooms clean but because there are so many people using it, it is a difficult task. Shower on 2nd floor girl`s bathroom (that is what I used) is sooo tiny, you can barely fit yourself. There is no place to keep your toiletries except outside the door. The water pressure and flow reduces if someone else is in the next shower. Hostel is right next to Cambie bar, you can get through the bar. I did get lost but eventually figured out by calling them. There was no table in the room. Only 2 stools to keep our stuff and hooks to hang jackets.
Location. Price is comparatively cheap to other hotels/B&Bs in the area. Beds were comfortable. They gave us a fan upon request for free.
