This hostel was exactly what I needed—a clean, simple place to crash for the night. The price was reasonable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

I like the room's tidy and clean, the kitchen is in the 2nd floor, but serve from 9am to 4pm which may not be convenience for the late arrival guest, and the kettle for boiling water is a bit dirty need to be cleaned.

The kitchen was appreciated as I needed to process some huckleberries before taking them across through to the US border. Bed was super firm (not much give at all) and fairly uncomfortable. Out the back door was bunch of pot smokers at night. My wife had to go around to the front to avoid the stench. The smoking area should be an area for smoking not for a pot smokers party area.

This hostel hotel is managed well, front desk staff nice and kind. It has a large full equipped kitchen, a large sitting area….onsite restaurant for breakfast and dinner in very reasonable price. Night time is very quiet, guests are friendly as well. Onsite outdoors parking, 8 mins drive to creekside village gondola. We took bus $2.50 pp and leave the car at hotel parking since creekside parking filled up quickly on weekends before 7:30am. Overall, a decent place to stay for Whistler trip. Will come back again!
