I am always nervous about staying in Hostels, but this was a great location! The common rooms were clean and well organized, the host was responsive, helpful, and friendly, and the place was a short walk from great food and public transport. I enjoyed my stay here thoroughly!
A cheap option to see Vancouver, close the the skytrain great if you like backpackers type places which i do. Nice locals pub nearby and had a pleasant 3 nights.
It was a really peaceful place. Checkin was super convenient even at 2 am in the night. And communication and coordination with property managers was seamless.
The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.
Location great with easy access to skytrain. Communication between management and guest was good. Super responsive. Practical hostel, will stay again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Easy self check in and in a location close to shopping and transportation which is great. The room itself was not great with blankets cover this window and ants crawling… if you are solo and don’t need anything more its fine.
If you have the means bring a space heater because the place gets cold during winter! Other than that the place was nice and cozy enough for what you pay for and the property manager and his family were super cool and very helpful. He went the extra mile making sure I felt welcome and I knew all the cool spots around the city. Will definitely recommend if you're just passing through!! Shoot I may book again myself
Excellent choice for a roof over your head for a night. Hosts were very responsive and straightforward / clear about instructions for check-in and 'house rules'
Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.
A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places.
The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp.
I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.
