    The facility and staff are good. However, whether you enjoy the stay depends on who live in your room and next room. The roommates in my room were good, quite and respect to other users. However, the guys lived in next room were ridiculous. They made loud noise at 2:30am outside the room and made the washing area very dirty.

    The room gave a little bit of hospital vibes but was big nice and clean :) Lighting was pretty confusing to many switches and when you flip some of them the others wouldn't work, which was funny

    Squeaky beds, kitchen was constantly packed, people opening windows during the day and evening in winter; not as clean as HI Vancouver.

    Friendly staff.

    There is a direct bus to the city center which is very convenient though it looks far from the main attractions.

    I wish there was a bit more storage space and my key didn't work a couple times, so my roommates had to let me in.

    I really liked the bed. It was very comfortable and I slept well the two nights I stayed. It was also very well maintained and cleaner then expected.

    There is a light for each bed but it took a while to figure it out, it was so weird. I extended my stay but they didn't tell housecleaning and my bed was tidied (my stuff was put in lost and found) which was a bad surprise but I got my stuff back.

    Nice facilities, dorm was pretty good size, kitchen was pretty big. I didn't mind being outside of Whistler village, there's 2 public buses that stop right next to the hostel (and there's free parking in Whistler village after 5pm). There's a nice walk (Train Wreck Trail) that you can take right outside from the hostel.

    In general terms quite expensive for a hostel dorm, but for Whistler standards quite okay...! ;)

    Very well-run hostel, Clean rooms, shared bathroom only for 8 people, organized and clean kitchen, nice common room...

    The bed was weirdly uncomfortable since the mattress was very uneven.

    Clean bathrooms and toilets. Cafe on the ground floor.

    No hair dryer, pillows were too thick. Bring your own toiletries. No shampoo or conditioner so best to bring your own toiletries.

    Close to whistler village, washroom has hand soap and body wash. Staffs were friendly and iced coffee was great at the small cafe within the hostel.

    Air con in the rooms as well as the common roomZ or at least in the bathrooms to cool the room area down. It was so hot and hard to sleep with the fan only circulating around the bottom bunk near the plug

    I loved that the cafe downstairs had coffee and breakfast options each morning. The staff were so lovely and made you feel welcome from the start.

    Our only problem was it happened to be 30 C outside during our stay, so room was hot without AC

    Excellent location very close to Whistler village but remote enough to enjoy quiet morning in the mountains. The hotel's caffè has excellent menu for the breakfast. Seats outside provide beautiful view.

    Key cards need to be changed frequently as they don’t work as soon as you put them together with your phone. Beds were a little hard to climb up to.

    Great location and nice staff. Big common areas and kitchen facilities.
