The sheets aren’t washed, find some hair on it but the worst part is bed bugs. Me and my husband were both been bitten. And find some bugs crawling on the bed and I have took some videos of it.
Great location, great staff, very friendly, overall very happy with my stay.

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
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 had a good time and experience at this hostel. Close to downtown and important attractions. Just make sure to pack a towel with you. They have towels but you have to pay. Otherwise, it is a nice hostel.
Great staff… comfy room, stayed in the Seymour suite and it was lovely… clean… shared bathroom looked brand new… super clean… attached pub had awesome food… was a quick walk up the street from the waterfront station at the end of the Airport Canada line and pretty short walk to the cruise port. Great value!
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!
