Very well organised facility. I stayed in a hotel-style double room with ensuite, and it was excellent. I also used the communal kitchen and dining area, and chatted with the many friendly hostel guests and staff. I was skiing in Whistler most days, and able to walk 10 minutes on the path beside the inlet up to the Adventure Centre and back to catch the SkyLynx shuttle bus that operates from Vancouver to Squamish to Whistler. This worked out much better value than staying in Whistler. The same path is a 10 minute walk into downtown Squamish in the other direction, to supermarkets, restaurants and other stores. All in all, this was an excellent stay.

Everything, staff were very helpful. Allowed me to leave luggage on last day so I didn't have to pull it around town on the last day. The other people in the hostel were respectful and friendly. Felt very safe and comfortable . View from hostel was incredible !

Amazing facilities, great location, a bit expensive but the cheapest hostel in Vancouver. Awesome evening experiences too! Staff would go above and beyond, clean, great kitchen and bathroom facilities - travelled the world and can say I’m very happy with the hostel

We stayed in one of the private rooms and it was very clean, spacious, and had really comfortable bed/bedding. The shared bathrooms were close to all rooms and I never once had to wait for a shower or toilet. The free breakfast was surprisingly good! I think some of the poor reviews are from before they renovated this was a great hostel. Highly recommend also for people other than backpackers who need a budget place to stay for an event in Van

The location was great and the staff were very friendly. They took me for a tour of the Hostel so I knew where everything was. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. I felt very safe as I know people have the misconception that hostels are unsafe.

For the money, the location was dope. Within walking distance to everything we needed. Hostel offered plenty of advice on cheap things to do in Van and how to meet other backpackers.

After traveling around BC/Alberta for a month this is for sure the best hostel I've stayed at. Reminds of similar concepts in Asia/Europe. This had a very cool layout though which also accommodated couples in their own capsule if they so wish. Very tidy, nice little kitchen with everything we needed to cook breakfast/lunch and a super friendly owner to top it all off! No doubt of where we would stay if we pass through this cool little town again.
