Lively hostel in the city center. Recommend for the value and cleanliness. The downtown area is a bit rough but still relatively safe.

The location is very convenient and the staff is young and friendly. For the price however, the amenities were just okay. Shared rooms and bathroom facilities were tight and not well-ventilated. It is a hostel understandably, but I've stayed at nicer places for less.

I asked to stay in an all girl room but to my surprise, was sharing the room with men. And those weren't the quietest people. Also, I reserved the room for 2 days but was charged for 3 days. Other than that, everything else was good.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit, always making sure I had everything I needed.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were well maintained. I was also very happy with how conveniently located the hostel was—everything I needed was just a short walk away. Overall, I’m really pleased with my experience and would definitely stay here again!

Overall everything was amazing! Just the people in the area were questionable, with homeless or drunk people… That was a bit uncomfortable but everything else with the property was amazing, with friendly staff and clean rooms and facilities. There’s also restaurants and shops nearby, and very good public transit as well

Very nice staff, a staff from Hong Kong who works overnight shift at the front introduced me a lot of restaurants, spots and highlights in Vancouver.
There are different tours which are free and held by the hostel. Nice and huge common area and open kitchen to cook. The washrooms are generally clean too. Overall, pretty good experience to stay there, and it is in a very convenient location.
Just one thing to mention, if there is a lock for the locker in the room that will be perfect.
