Very bad and hostile night staff. I was waiting for my tour to start in the living room and even though I was a guest, I was told I cannot wait here

Eigentlich ein gutes Hostel da man vorher weiß das es sehr laut wird durch die Bar darunter. Leider muss ich die Betten bemängeln die sind sehr „leicht“ also bei jeder kleinsten Bewegung wackelt das ganze Bett. Aber ansonsten in Ordnung!

If you’re ready to fall asleep to loud bass from the bar below thumping until early in the morning, this is the place for you! No shelf or place to put your phone or other personal belonging on the top bunks if you need to set an alarm on your phone.

There is a the (Cambie Bar) on the (1)Floor, the music is very loud, the Cambie Bar is nice to go there and they do give if your staying at the Hostel 20% off food and Drinks that is very nice of them. On the First floor of towards the Kitchen there is (2) cats that are not on the site when you come in and register in the Hostel, they should let you know about it. I just had a issue of the (Heat ) was not working or they just shut it off! to save money, not sure but it was very cold, Love it.

Really nice location, friendly staff, nice showers, and cool hostel mates. I would highly recommend. The common area and the kitchen are nice and usable and the cats - George and Charlie - are adorable. The cats are on the 2nd floor only. My only complaint was someone ate my food in the refrigerator and put my food in the free bottom shelf on the fridge. No biggie, just copy the other hostel folks and put all your food in a brown paper bag to hide contents and you're good.

The hostel was at a great location. However, it was very stuffy and kept to the simplest terms. Underneath the hostel was a bar playing loud music, and as the building was old it felt like you were in the bar as walls were thin. In addition, the kitchen trashcan didn’t have a lid which lead to all kitchen trash smells travelling through the corridors. The room was okay, but overal cleanliness left something to be desired.

I had a good time here. The staff were nice, the location is super convenient, and the value is fantastic for what you pay. That said, if you need a quiet place in order to sleep - do NOT come here. The bar downstairs is extremely loud, and it's open until 3am or so. You can feel the bass in your bones, and I mean that. Come prepared with good earplugs and a hostel mindset, and you'll be fine, but they should really be more clear about this in the description. I can imagine a lot of angry guests

The hostel is in a great location and the staff members are nice. The only problem I had is the noises coming from the bar below the rooms until late night. It was hard to sleep.

As long as you are not afraid to sleep over a club this hostel is perfect, very well placed, but doesn’t provide free breakfast or free towels.

By far the most affordable hostel in Vancouver for a reason. Location is stellar, but it is LOUD. Music thumping through the floors, so loud you can hear it through earplugs loud. Until two in the morning. If you are planning to stay up that late or stay out that late, it's a great choice-good common area, good vibes, nice cheap drinks, and mostly clean facilities. If you like to go to bed any time before midnight, though, I'd stay somewhere else.
