The great location. Really clean. In March really good heating and blankets. They allow us an early check in and leave the luggage after checking out. Sink and wardrobe inside the room. The staff was really kind and they give good recommendations. They have a microwave and electric kettle, cutlery OK. Big fridge and lockers. They recicle and that's great. The kitchen and utilities are in every floor. The mattress was good, the pillows not so much. For the prices it was a great service.

The building in general is old. Not a problem per se because it's advertised but you don't have elevator and to enter you have to go up by stairs one floor.

Lovely quaint heritage building in the heart of downtown. Extremely easy to get around downtown on foot while we were based here. The private twin room suited us very well and the shared bathroom facilities were functional, the showers could perhaps have been cleaned slightly more often, but were clearly cleaned once per day. We particularly enjoyed the cosy living room space where we could sit after a long day out in Vancouver!

Vancouver's downtown does have a lot of unhoused people suffering from addiction, and while this did not effect the hostel or our stay directly, it gave all of downtown a slightly unsafer feel.

Safe and secure, spacious and comfortable room and very good “base” from which to explore Vancouver and beyond. Staff were easy going and approachable, nothing was too much trouble. Late check in was available and easy, as well as baggage storage prior to departure which was ideal for my flight timings. Thanks guys! Until next time :-)

The immediate district location, and although the locals appeared harmless it was quite disconcerting as a solo female traveller.

The hotel/hostel is a good place to stay. Yes it is old, but is well maintained and is clean ! It is close to public transportation to the airport and around the city too. There are a lot of good restaurants and places to explore close by.The staff is very friendly and helpful. So all of this made my stay great ! Would I stay there again YES!

I wish there was a t. v. where one can get caught up on the world in news etc. That works for me. Everyone is different.

The very first thing we noticed was the frieliness and helpfulness of the staff! Jake and the other employees we met were just terrific! Secondly, there were laundry facilities, microwave, fridge, utensils which we did not expect but were very welcome. This is a historic property so we enjoyed that aspect also. This property was very centrally located to much of the city so that one could walk. We took the hop off hop on bus to other locations less accesible. If you needed a cab, they were right there and reasonable. Staff called the cab for us! I'd stay again!

It was hot for Vanncouver!!!! 85 the day we arrived so air conditioning would have been nice but the common areas were cooler!

The location is really good and the room is comfortable and clean, we stayed for a few nights before flying back home, it's close to the waterfront and shops so easy to be able to get around. Having a sink in the room is actually really handy.

During the night, outside can get very noisy, but that comes with every city. The rooms get VERY hot so definitely invest in a fan if you're staying here.

From cleanliness of the room nad provided facilities like bedsheets to the cleanliness of washrooms, and the availability of various facilities like toiletries, microwave oven, cutlery etc., everything was excellent.

Heater in room was working but was not heating to the intensity expected form what I set it to. I had set it to maximum.

We loved the classic posters, halloween decorations, and the community feel while we were there. There were places to visit with others, baskets for sharing or donating food, books, and morning coffee provided. The location was close to so many sightseeing areas, restaurants, stores, and buses. Most of the best places to visit downtown were in walking distance. The Cathedral Park across the street was an added bonus, with bike rentals right there. We felt safe and welcomed, and the hostel is exactly as advertised. We will definitely visit again.

This is not an accessible building for those with mobility issues. The stairs are steep, and there is no elevator. We would suggest not bringing large suitcases or packing to heavy. Expect bunk beds to creek as they are metal, but overall, we enjoyed our stay and met some kind people.

It was an excellent location and there was no shortage of places to eat nearby. I was worried that street parking would be difficult but we didn’t have any issues. Area felt very safe. The hostel was very clean and everyone working was nice. My only issue was another person staying was noisy at night.

The toilets were in tiny closets in the hallway. Hard to use without touching the wall and touching everything. There was no soap to wash your hands so make sure you bring some.

Location is excellent being right near a major shopping area and food court . Also nearby are Gastown cafes . The room was clean and a comfy bed with sets of drawers to use. Good hot water and a useable cheap laundry a bonus . Despite being in the city it was quiet enough to relax in, a kitchenette and 2 sitting areas were great . AND the staff were genuinely friendly

We had a street light outside room 2 but eye masks solved that
