Very conveniently located. Facility is an old hotel with creepy and uneven floors - depending on your POV adds character or just old. I only stayed a couple nights and it was perfect for taking the bus to hike in the mountains.

Very clean organized hostel. Mattress and sheets were soft. They had 2 adorable cats! Women's bathrooms were tidy, including 2 showers. Area around it had grocery + fast food available, but is located in a rundown area. Don't recommend walking alone at night.

Shout out to The Legendary Cambie in Gastown. The staff were amazing from check in to check out. The rooms were clean and well designed. The security of the hostel is high and the staff are on hand 24/7 Highly recommend for anyone travelling or anyone who is stranded because of an airline strike! See you in a few weeks Cambie! - Jake

Overall, I had a good stay at The Cambie Hostel. The location was great, the atmosphere was lively, and the facilities met my expectations for a hostel. It’s a solid choice for travelers looking for a social, budget-friendly spot. That said, my checkout experience was a bit frustrating. The staff member helping me seemed overwhelmed and ended up snapping at me, which left a bit of a sour note at the end of my stay. I understand he was under pressure and juggling a lot, but the attitude wasn’t great and felt unnecessary. Other than that moment, everything else went smoothly. I’d still recommend the hostel — just hoping for a bit more patience and professionalism at the front desk next time.

This place was so great! It's over a bar so expect late-night noise, but it's not bad on the top floor. I brought ear plugs and an eye mask and it was totally fine. The beds are super comfortable. Shower pressure isn't great, but everything is clean. Staff r great and so helpful. Everyone is friendly and got to meet people from around the world! Bring a lock for your lock under the bed though or you have to pay $10 to buy 1 from them. A bit more expensive than I would think a hostel would be, but totally worth it! Loved my stay and would return anytime.
