Located in Cumberland, Riding Fool Accommodation features barbecue facilities. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The property is non-smoking and is set 19 km from Comox Ferry Terminal.

Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms come with a mountain view. Lovely place for a stay. I spent just one night but was perfect. The room was cozy and the mattress really comfortable, on the firm side (just what I needed). Shared bathrooms are absolutely clean. There is a community kitchen which I did not use but great to know I could have. Check-in was super easy and independent which I appreciated because I arrived very late at night.

A rooftop patio is offered at this non-smoking Vancouver hostel. Free WiFi is provided in public areas. Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station is just 1 km away.

Sunset Beach and Robson St are both within 10 minutes’ walking distance from this hostel. Vancouver Aquarium is 3 km away. Hi Vancouver Downtown has become one of my go-to hostels in Vancouver. It's in a fantastic location close to any and all amenities, bus routes, and the sky train lines. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. The rooftop garden is always a nice spot to take a moment in (even when there's a slight drizzle). Recently the hostel also started having breakfast options out for guests and that looked like quite the hit. In terms of dorms, the 4-bed rooms are cosy, the outlet panel above the beds are super handy, and out of all the places I've stayed I'd have to say this one has the best blankets on the beds.

Located 13.2 km from downtown, UBC's Okanagan Campus offers free WiFi.

There are air-conditioned student rooms, suites and apartments with private bathrooms, free WiFi, basic kitchens, and common lounges. "Our stay at the UBC Kelowna hotel was excellent. The environment was very clean, organized, and well-maintained. The bed was extremely comfortable, which ensured a good night's sleep. The room was also quiet and ventilated. The bathroom was clean and functional. The location on campus is convenient, with easy access to the city's main roads and downtown. Ideal for those looking for a quiet, safe, and good value place. We recommend it!"

The Squamish Adventure Inn hostel places guests only moments away from Squamish’s activities, adventure, and excitement. It is located directly off the Sea-to-Sky Highway, only 8 minutes walk away from the shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars of Squamish city centre. Staff are welcoming and very helpful, responded to our concerns for shower water, room power out, movie room sound, etc. Thank you ! Our quad room facing right to the water, the birds come to the lawn in front of door, feeling very close to the nature. Lovely environment!

Set in Nelson, Dancing Bear Inn features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel has family rooms. A lovely hostel in a great location! Sometimes hostels have a lot of rooms, and very little space for all of those guests to hang out. However, Dancing Bear Inn was perfect. There weren't too many guests, and there were plenty of different areas to sit and hang out which was great! Our room was really bright and comfortable, the whole hostel was very clean and all of the staff were amazing and super friendly.
