Great location! Neat older building with character... decent price given the location.

Christa, Canada

Amazing location, just a couple block away from downtown's Pacific Centre and a skytrain station. This location makes downtown and Gastown walkable destinations. The linens were clean which is and the electric kettle were a nice addition.

Some more bowls/cutlery in the microwave areas would have been nice as well as tea/coffee in all floors and not in the first floor only. Similarly the wi-fi did not work in our room and the power was very low and could not use my hair-dryer or the ones provided by the hostel.

One of the only negatives is noise, but that's dependant on other guests. Other than that, I believe there is no staff on-site overnight (not sure, but reception closes at 7pm) and that meant that the washrooms didn't get cleaned in the later hours.

The soundproofing was terrible, really really really terrible. I couldn't sleep because of the noises, and after trying to sleep a bit, I was waken up because of huge noises outside, at the staircases, reception, corridor (from impolite guests), those sound can be blocked outside the room if the soundproof system is good, but there is no such kind of thing in this hostel.
In downtown, I can walk to many other places

“Smelly, dirty, no internet, dishonest”

Dirty, smelly, no internet. The pillow covers had blood stains, no one has even swept the room I stayed in for days or months. I'm sure the internet never works so the ad on booking sites is misleading and dishonest. The owner(s) found a gold mine, they charge for a regular room and don't even bother to provide "luxuries" such as soap or decent sheets, or hire cleaning staff, or even pay for internet connection. Quite dishonest.

Noise curfew could’ve been better, people partying and carrying on all night until 330 in the morning, make sure you stay in at least the 2nd floor as the front door slams and you can hear people stomping up the stairs. Worst hotel sleep in my time.
Room was tidy facilities were great for the price.

The room is not very old and not clean, I can see hairs and dust still when I checked in. The reception is only open at 7 pm, and after that, the place was left alone. During my stay, it was very noisy at night time, with people talking and laughing along the hallway. There is only 2 shower that I could find on each floor and every morning, it was a struggle to find an empty one and had to wait for a while. The receptionist that worked in the morning was very nice, helpful and cheerful that make your day brighter, but the lady that works on the evening was not pleasant.
The location is close to waterfront station so it is easy to access train to the airport. There are many shops/restaurants to buy food.

Probably the worst hostel I have ever stayed in terms of facilities and atmosphere... You really feel the "century old building" in a not comfortable way. The floor in private room probably haven't been renovated for decades and the handle on sink is easily broken. The wall is relatively thin with room window towards backalley where you have a view of pigeons and smell from restaurant kitchens. In the washroom, you can smell the moisture with large moldy patches on window and black tapes over pipes. There're 2 seats, a small table, microwave, fridge and a mix of utensils (odd leftovers?) in the common kitchen. Theres no elevator in the building. 2 toilets and 2 shower stalls per floor.
The location is very central with restaurants, consulates, and central metro station in walking distance

The hostel is not clean and it is old. I think people deserve more when they spend around 50€ per night. Just small things that can be easily fixed with not much effort.
The location is extremely close to everything and the price was ok for Vancouver.
