Not bad, but Vancouver Central hostel is much more cozy.

Awesome hostel. Probably the best hostel I've ever visited. I love building and common areas. The employees are awesome, as well as the guests who come here.

This hostel deserves a solid 4 stars. It was at a quieter location but super short walk to bus routes and food places. The rooms and facilities are modern and were extremely well-kept. I liked how there is a library room, rec room, and movie room. The staff were also professional and approachable. Lastly, I felt very safe.

Despite the almost daily events between the two Vancouver HI locations, I felt like there was little engagement besides what you see on the wall. I honestly felt like you had to work hard just to make friends here, and this is days after I checked out of an unnamed competitor hostel a few minutes walk away. That other hostel just had better engagement and helped foster an environment where I could make friends quickly.

Other constructive criticism include the need to have better coffee as it was just too awful and better access to plugs from the top bunks.

Other than that, I'm happy HI has many, many locations. I will gladly check into this hostel again in the future.

Had a great experience here. The room was very clean, and cosy. The breakfast was pretty good and the kitchen was also very clean. The staff was nice but did not go out of their way to make you feel at home. I would stay here again. I slept like a baby!
