It is convenient location. It takes 2-3 minutes to walk to Vancouver City Centre and Granville Skytrain station. My room and bathrooms are clean. They will change the sheets and pillowcase for every stay. Lockers are big. For breakfast, they have bagels with different fillings. You can meet some working holiday workers here.

Chi Hong Kong

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, lots of bathrooms, and everything was clean. Breakfast was simple but satisfactory. I had the dorm room to myself which was nice. The location is good if you want to be right downtown and close to the skytrain.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the other travellers are always interesting and incredibly friendly as well :) The bathroom, showers and dorms were all clean and maintained well, the bed was COMFY and I always had a place to lock up my things if needed.

Dagmara Slovakia

The staff was absolutely lovely, really helpful with all of our questions and gave awesome suggestions. The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything downtown. The breakfast is super simple but a great option for on-the-go (which was helpful for our early mornings). The kitchen was also really helpful because we were able to do some groceries and actually make dinner and lunch a few days. The kitchen/ common room was also a great place to make friends and meet people, which I took quite a lot of advantage of. The bar downstairs has great drinks + amazing service (who were patient with out rather drunk group on a week night).
