The location was right downtown. The hostel has different activities every day and it is a great way to meet people! Also the bar is very nice with cheap drinks and food.

Kim, Netherlands

"Muffin" and the location of the hostel, it's very easy to walk around to any streets, main stores and bus stop. The staff were extra helpful. The room (bed) were comfortable, bonus if you get nice roommates. I like the concept of sharing food in free food section, donated some food there for other to eat .

Ulemba, India

Friendly people and staff, good breakfast, great location.

Naomie, Canada

The hostel ran great daily adventure activities, there is a bar downstairs-they host activities here at night too so it's easy to meet other people, the beds are comfy with power points and fans.. common rooms and kitchens are great-pool table...and they have Vegemite at breakfast - winning!

Tyler, Australia

I stayed here for 4 days and thought the hostel was great. The staff are very welcoming and put on day trips for anyone that would like to join. I felt that this was a great hostel to meet people and the facilities were great. The beds I thought were really comfy and everyone is respectful of being quiet after 11 pm. I would definitely recommend this hostel especially if you are travelling alone or is great as a group! Great location too!

눉My room was very smelly and I dont know if it was because of one od my roommates, but people were checking out every day and the new beds where made but the smell stayed. So it didn't feel like they really cleaned the room, only the beds. Other than that te rest of the facilities where clean.
눇The location was right downtown. The hostel has different activities every day and it is a great way to meet people! Also the bar is very nice with cheap drinks and food.

눉The fact you had to be seated in the bar by a host. If you're not meeting anyone specific they sit you alone - makes it harder to meet people or join people you hadn't planned to meet
눇Excellent free breakfast, personal lights and fans on each bed, loads of info and recommendations available, great staff

눉The man with the long brown curly hair shouldn't be checking people in as he said there was one line but didn't enforce people who cut and made other people wait; I saw it happen twice and people who were waiting were annoyed. That staff member seemed over it.
눇One staff member, Sam, provided excellent customer service. Another guy with long hair working at check in said there was one check in line but didn't really care who came first so people who were waiting a long time had people cut in line. Breakfast was decent with bagels, bred and fruit juices.

눇Loved the breakfast. Very helpful staff, who even supply an early breakfast for those leaving the hostel early in the morning for trains and planes etc. Staff keep the place safe and secure from the bustling outside of Downtown Vancouver. Also got a free beer for the inconvenience of some of the showers being out of use because of refurbishment.

“Perfect for budget travelling!”
- • Leisure trip

눇As my first hostel experience, I would definitely recommend this place! Location is pretty much central to everything in downtown. The staff were super chill, friendly, and helpful. They had daily hostel activities (w/ some pretty awesome discounts) - good way to meet people. I would recommend the daily activities as a starting point if you're looking to see the main sights of Van. The main thing that impressed me was the cleanliness of the bathroom. They were inspected/cleaned daily. I had the impression that the showers would be like a gym type shower, where everyone had their own stall, but hardly any privacy kind of thing. However the toilets were separate from the showers and each were their own individual rooms with locks. That was a huge plus for me. The rooms were pretty much what I expected. I stayed for 5 nights. Nothing too fancy. Bunk bed lodging. Perfect if all you're doing is sleeping on them anyway. The bed mattress was surprisingly soft. The lockers provided in the room were very large. (From the pictures I saw, I thought they would be small.) I was lucky that the majority of my roommates were friendly people. (Although I was unlucky on the first two nights because the roommates I had were very unhygienic people. That's not the hotel's fault though. Just luck of the draw with some people.) There's an 11pm - 7am quiet time rule in the hallways. Didn't have problems with any noisy people. Everyone seemed to abide by those rules. Will definitely stay here again in the future if I need to do some budget travelling.
