Check in was fine, the staff were friendly and helpful, the proximity to the venue (BC Place) was great, the only concern is the noise from the club downstairs was a bit loud.

I liked this property because it was convenient for me. Very central and easy to get around. In a historic park of the city. The property was old and a pub was downstairs. It could be noisy but I never experienced that. Only two female and two male bathrooms on each floor, (first and second floors) so became crowded at certain times.

Great location. Very budget friendly. Smells a bit

Great location. Great for young travelers or tourists who don't mind sharing a room. But having cats in the hallway made it smell a bit.

I booked a same-gender bunk bed room just before Easter and, to my surprise, had the room to myself for five out of the six nights. Although the room was very small, it was well-designed, with thoughtful storage and convenient plug-ins—which I especially appreciated having all to myself. Everything worked well, the space felt safe and quiet, and the staff were friendly.

Some workers on the reception were rude by not saying Hi/good morning etc back. Rooms are fine, not good but I had good roommates so it was fine. Bring your own lock so you don’t have to pay 10$ to them. Bed linens were clean. Hallways smelled like cat piss, cause there were two cute but not very(based from the smell) well-manered cats.You hear music quite loud until 2-3 am, wasn’t much of a problem for me but could be for some people.Location is good.

Perfect for Insomniacs (sleep not included) Wow, what an experience. If you’re someone who thinks silence is overrated and believes that sleep is just a social construct, this is the hostel for you! Why settle for a quiet night when you can have the full nightclub experience from the comfort of your bed? Earplugs? Useless. Soundproofing? Never heard of it. Five stars for nightlife, zero for sleep quality. But hey, who goes to a hostel to rest anyway?
