Great location
Great location. Walked from the hullo ferry and to our concert at Roger’s centre. Neat to be tied to a pub next door. Nothing luxury but gave us what we needed. Felt slightly over priced for a shared bathroom. But it is downtown

Very handy location in Vancouver, 10-15min walk to Canada Place & train station, Gastown, etc. Rooms & bathroom were kept very clean & you can do your laundry from 4pm to midnight daily (so housekeeping staff can do necessary laundry first). Bunk bed was comfortable, plenty of local food outlets available until late & the bar downstairs has something on every night. That can get a bit noisy with karaoke, etc echoing thru the building, but not a huge issue. Enjoyed my stay 4 days & would recommend!

Very well located, with many possibilities around for dinner and going out. Old building with basic cleaning. Convenient price and near to sky train stations. Attention was very nice and kind. I will be back there someday 😁

A great place downtown
The location for downtown is fantastic, my room facing the street was loud a night from the bar below and street noise. The kitchen/ lounge was fantastic, lots of room for food and complete kitchen to cook in and friendly atmosphere to meet new friends. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were hot and spacious. The bunkers were comfortable for bunk bed and the bedding was fine. The security storage under the bed fit my open carry on bag and other personal items. I purchased a lock they offered for $10 and felt very secure with my belongings. The security was excellent and the staff very helpful. I checked out and left my bags in a secure space until 5 pm.

I booked a same-gender bunk bed room 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.

Close to everything and small lounge with kitchen on first floor. Was noisy though! You must wear ear plugs or noise canceling airpoda if you want to sleep properly! You literally hear everything around!

We only stayed 2 nights and had a private room in the Cambie Hostel. It was clean and the staff we friendly but in some areas for the price and well sort location it didn’t do very well. It was small and a bit dated in some areas including the women’s bathrooms which the showers didn’t work. Probably wouldn’t consider staying here again unless the price was better, especially if location is your top priority.

Alvin at the front desk was really nice and helpful during my stay! There's also a front desk lady in the morning who's really nice, but I wasn't able to get her name.:)
Smooth check in and check out process.
