Great staff… comfy room, stayed in the Seymour suite and it was lovely… clean… shared bathroom looked brand new… super clean… attached pub had awesome food… was a quick walk up the street from the waterfront station at the end of the Airport Canada line and pretty short walk to the cruise port. Great value!

I had a good time and experience at this hostel. Close to downtown and important attractions. Just make sure to pack a towel with you. They have towels but you have to pay. Otherwise, it is a nice hostel.

The sheets aren’t washed, find some hair on it but the worst part is bed bugs. Me and my husband were both been bitten. And find some bugs crawling on the bed and I have took some videos of it.

Had a private room: beds were not comfortable, very loud street noise and could hear the other guests. Shared bathroom was somewhat clean but run down. Would not stay longer than one night. Excellent location to the cruise terminal and easy and quick access to the sky train.

Very well located, with many possibilities around for dinner and going out. Old building with basic cleaning. Convenient price and near to sky train stations. Attention was very nice and kind. I will be back there someday 😁

I booked a same-gender bunk bed room and, to my surprise, had the room to myself for five out of the six nights. Although the room was very small, it was well-designed, with thoughtful storage and convenient plug-ins—which I especially appreciated having all to myself. Everything worked well, the space felt safe and quiet, and the staff were friendly.

Close to everything and small lounge with kitchen on first floor. Was noisy though! You must wear ear plugs or noise canceling airpoda if you want to sleep properly! You literally hear everything around!

We only stayed 2 nights and had a private room in the Cambie Hostel. It was clean and the staff we friendly but in some areas for the price and well sort location it didn’t do very well. It was small and a bit dated in some areas including the women’s bathrooms which the showers didn’t work. Probably wouldn’t consider staying here again unless the price was better, especially if location is your top priority.
