Great little spot for the price!
If you’ve never stayed in a hostel, prepare to bring earplugs if you want the window open for fresh hair (rooms get really warm if it’s closed).
Room had to fans which was great to help drown out the street noise and creaky hallways when people were walking to their rooms/ bathrooms.
Overall, great spot!

Everything is very close to the hostel like restaurants,shopping centers.what i can suggest is to add some more plug ins in for charging phones each room that is closest to the bunk bed
This is a fantastic location for travelers. There is only one drawback... at night, you might have difficulty sleeping with the noise from the neighboring nightclubs. Plan accordingly and enjoy the rest of the great benefits this place has to offer.
My private room was adequate. shared bathroom and kitchen was clean and tidy. Location is superb as its right down town close to the waterfront, train station, skytrain, cruise ship terminal etc. I would stay again
For the price point of staying in downtown Vancouver, you're really just getting a bed to sleep in.
The staff are friendly and accommodating. The shared bathrooms are small. My mattress was so worn that the middle had a massive dent in it, and the building is always loud; bring earplugs with you! If you're looking for a very convenient, central location and a bed to sleep in for the cheap, this is the place.
