Lock in a great price for Samesun Vancouver – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

The beds had a good amount of privacy and each bed had its own outlet with multiple ports for charging. The location was central to a lot in the city. The transit line running through the city to the airport was only about a three block walk away.

Anthony, United States of America

Super cool vibes, great location, tasty breakfast, lots of organized activities to meet your fellow hostel-mates

Christian, United States of America

Well equipped and spacious kitchen, free daily tours organised by the hostel, downstairs bar, close to downtown and a short 10min walk from the train station from the airport. Each room door is painted a different flag colour, which I thought was cool.

James, Australia

It is a nice place. The staff is good and the breakfast is also good. They have a nice kitchen where I expected to have some salt, sugar and may be some cheap spices. It wasn't there. But still a nice kitchen. The wi-fi was was mostly not working and whenever it worked, it was poor signal.

Muneeb, India

Comfy beds that were nice and private. The staff was super friendly. The other people staying at the hostel were also mostly very friendly and fun to meet. Good vibes here! And good deals at the bar attached. The location was also amazing. I plan on coming back for sure.

Kimberly, United States of America

Awesome place! Affordable and clean. Friendly staff, cool guests :)

Lizelle, Canada

I appreciated breakfast every morning. Bagels, fruit, toast, jelly, eggs, juice, etc. There was plenty and it was a nice bonus.

Mona, United States of America

Breakfast was great. Nice kitchen. Clean bedding. Central located.

Senga, Canada

I stayed in one of the pod rooms! So much better then bunk beds. I was so comfy all night in my bed, the pods keeps the noise out and there is not metal squeaking bunk beds like the other room. The staff was so friendly! FREE Breakfast was great!

Tiffadventures, Canada

Breakfast was simple but good, though it was quite crowded and staff at difficulties keeping up with the amount of people would recommend coming early for breakfast or being patient with food availability as they try to keep up with the amount of guests coming for the free breakfast. Dorm rooms are accommodating to most solo traveler or groups of friends traveling together, bunk beds offer more privacy than most hostiles which is a plus.

This was the best Hostel experience I've ever made! The hostel offers a bunch of tours, activities and you get a great chance to meet other travelers. The structure of the Bar / breakfast location is very well done! You don't have other choice than to meet other people, what is great when you travel alone. It's like a huge living community. You feel welcome right in the moment of your Check In. The location of the hostel is also absolutely perfect. You have restaurants, bars, shops, bus stations etc. etc. around the corner. And the beds....so comfy and relaxing like in every 5 Star Hotel!

“Well-located hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 12 nights
Since I extended my stay, I had two different rooms— one was smaller but very quiet, with wooden beds that basically feel like tiny pods, while the other one, although bigger, was very noisy due to the bar downstairs and had metal bunk beds which felt way less comfy & less private. The showers weren't the best (small, crowded, impractical) but the staff cleans every single day, so I can't really complain.
The hostel is very central, which means you can get to any landmark in Vancouver either by foot or by public transit. The staff is friendly and there's a chance you'll end up sharing a room with one of them. Breakfast is also good and varied, which is an absolute plus for a hostel full of backpackers. The tours offered by Samesun are also pretty cool, and very convenient for people without a car-- for a few bucks you get to go on hikes that are otherwise impossible to reach via transit.

The room size was very small, difficult for accessing bags. Also, lot of stairs to get up to get to your room, which is tough with a suitcase; but you only have to do it once.
Location, amenities, the bar down stairs, location to bars, food and sights. Very central. The staff were great, the room I was in all the beds had curtains which was great for privacy. All guests were respectful, 12am-7am quiet time strictly adhered to. Great place, would happily stay again.
