to get started.

The location is ok. Walkable to the bus stop. Free breakfast is not bad: bread, waffle, boiled egg, jam and banana. Large kitchen. Many things to borrow with money deposit Small leaflets fortourist attractions, etc. are practical and great.

The place was fine in all. The bar downstairs had a nice feel.

Andrew

Very centrally located and easy to get to any tourist attraction and food. The complementary dinner was also good. Communal areas like bathrooms were kept very clean. We stayed in a private double room with a sink. We had no problem with noise even though our room was on the first floor close to the bar area.

Friendly staff, despite massive turnover in guests the place was well organised and clean. Location convenient.

Free food, lots of information available about tours and such, free drink if you book through their site, cute cosy clean little place with an abundance of lockers and bathrooms. An all too common experience in hostels is not being able to get into the bathroom when you need to, but this won’t happen here! Also laundry on premises and free dinner and breakfast!

First time at hostel, stayed in small double room, was pleasantly pleased at a lot of clean bathrooms on every floor no issues! Didn't try the free dinner but that's a great perk making things affordable! Happy my request for additional pillow was granted...I had surgery and need two...my partner made do with one. Extremely close to everything downtown! Staff was pleasent, fun, kind. Would stay again, possibly upgrade to queen bed with sink. Curious to know more about their suites off site.

Breakfast and dinner included, and pretty good at that. Fantastic staff, lots of good info and brochures. Lively and nice location, with lots of restaurants and just a few minutes away from china town and the harbour.

It was in a really cool old building. It was clean and although it was community oriented, everyone kept to themselves. It was my first time in a “backpackers hotel” and I really liked it! For an average of $50/night per person, you get two free meals, breakfast and Dinner. If you are a young person wanting to save some coin, that is definitely the way to do it! Also, there is always a bathroom open and the showers are clean.

No paper towels provided in the washrooms on the floors or hand dryers to dry your hands after washing up! What does all the other guests do...not wash their hands!? It sucks when you need to use the washroom in the middle of the night and forget to bring your personal towel!
Continental breakfast, centrally located, free glass of wine or glass of beer if booked directly with the hostel rather than going thru a third party website like booking.com

“So so”

The 6-bed dorm room is very small. Hard to open suitcase. The room is untidy. Clothes of the prior guests? (Or hostel staff? ) are everywhere. The room floor is dirty. Not enough bathrooms and toilets. Only 6 washrooms in 1 floor (for at least 30 people!). And the bathroom and toilet are not separated! The washroom floor is always dirty. I wish there is wash basin in the room. The free dinner is edible but not delicious and has no meat. No air condition in the room. We had to open the window or borrow small fan from the counter. I ended up with few insect bites at my fingers.

They are providing dinner, not a breakfast. So it was hard to get one.
The location is really perfect. Because Victoria downtown is not so big, youcan go anywhere by foot. I used bus only when I get to the Buchart gardens.

Room was 10x6. Cramped. Very noisy area. People slamming doors and yelling. No AC so all windows open. Sirens going all night. Ridiculous price for a dive. Free dinner was soup. Free breakfast denied us as we booked through booking.com I will not return here
