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.

The layout of the bathroom's is very cramp for even 1 person let alone a communal one. The floors are also quite cracked and splintered. Not the fault of the staff but the other guests just left so many dishes in the sink it was pretty much in unusable.

We arrived very early (5am) and we booked a hostel so that we could stay somewhere inside. However, we were not allowed into the common areas of the hostel before check in time and we were put on the street again (full of junkies). I found this very rude and we were also not warned of this before by the hostel.
Good location!

“A lovely, simple hostel that is very well located in the centre of Vancouver”
- • Leisure trip

The showers in the shared bathroom don't really provide any private space to get changed or undressed before entering the shower. They also don't provide anywhere to put your clothes while in the shower. This makes it a bit difficult to make sure you don't 1) leave the shower with wet clothes, and 2) end up accidentally exposing yourself to other guests!
This hostel is really well located in Downtown Vancouver. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic, but provide pretty much everything you need for a simple stay in the centre of town. Also, reception provides $5 discount cards to the restaurant downstairs where they provide an excellent cooked breakfast :)

“Definitely NOT recommended”
- • Leisure trip

The building is very old, not well maintained and dirty. The staff were not accommodating nor friendly, in fact they were quite hostile. The reception smells of urine and beer and the room smelled heavily of cannabis. The 'towels' we were given were strips of thin cloth that looked like someone had shined their boots with it. The bed was sagging and not very stable (bunk). The dance music from the pub downstairs shook the walls and floor until 2am every night inc weekdays. Definitely do NOT recommend staying here if you want courtesy from staff, hygiene, or sleep.
The location is the only positive however Gastown has declined into drug city. This hostel is also due to close around November.
