6/10 Good

The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were clean. The bathroom had 4 showers but 2 of them had disgusting black stuff covering the floors. Didnt go in to investigate further. The kitchen was well equipt and clean. The laundry was well maintained and clean. The only downside was our room smelt of stale urine.

8/10 Very good

The place was quite decent for the price and the surrounding area very quiet in the summer. Not only it was the most affordable I could find but with the short time I had to book they still had rooms available. The room overall was quite clean, no issues there. My main thing was that the main stairs smelled like urine. Also, the shower stalls could use at least one more hook to put towel and other items while one is showering. Staff were very friendly and quite helpful.

8/10 Very good

The only problem was the wifi did not work on the first night. The staff did not know how to remedy the problem. Every other aspect of the place was fine. I was pleased to find that a large heater had been installed at the end of the hall. During previous stays, there had been no heat and cold air came in from the ocean.

6/10 Good

The location is beautiful inside the UBC campus and parking was easy. Our rooms were decent size and the shared bathrooms were close by. The downsides are the walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbors’ conversation. Unfortunately we had girls who like to talk at 2am! Our room also had a lock issue that if you accidentally left the key on the door, you cannot open the door from the inside. The # on the key card is not the 24 hr front desk #. Luckily someone who walked by helped us. We told the staff on this matter and they just shrugged it off blaming the age of the building. This is unacceptable and the lock should be fixed as this is a fire hazard.

Great hostel option. You're staying in the UBC dorms with access to laundry, a kitchen with microwave, fridge, and hot water kettle. Location is extremely convenient. I also found it quiet and clean.

It’s a great place for a private room with a shared bathroom in a great university environment with easy transit links to downtown or the city as a whole.

10/10 Exceptional

I personally like its proximity to the beach, and it being at UBC meant more secluded and quieter space, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Amenities were really nice, though they ran out of hand soap in 2 of their sinks in the washroom. Common dining hall is quite small.

10/10 Exceptional

I needed affordable, long term, on campus to be close to classes, and it was so enjoyable. The property checked off all my needs, and because of that I did not leave the property on weekends for hotels because it was the quiet serenity where I was. 10/10.

Great location and affordable

The location of the hotel is very good. It is in the UBC campus with a nice beach in walking distance. I went there to watch the sunset. The bed is twin size. The price is very affordable. Great for single travellers.

Great value and comfy room.

Great stay at the university student residence halls while the university is closed for the summer. The room had everything you would need. A comfy bed, good towels and a decent amount of space too. The showers are shared but split into women / men only by floors. Good hot water and water pressure. Kitchen was useful if you needed to heat something or make tea/coffee etc. The campus is stunning and close to Wreck Beach which is worth a trip for sunset. Incredibly good value for money. Would stay again if came at the same time of year.

Smell really bad

The service and location are good. The room is not bad - unless the smell. Feels like the room was moldy, the smell was so strong, uncomfortable to stay inside and sleep.
