Myself and my friend stayed here for 17 nights while we were in Vancouver and we found it great. Beacuase we were there before April we got the 7 nights for 6 deal, so our private room worked out...

Great location, great facilities!

I really liked my stay here. Reading the other reviews, I think some people are getting this hostel mixed up with the HI Vancouver Central one - at the downtown hostel, there is no mouse problem, and...

Great!

I found this to be an excellent hostel, with plenty of leaflets and information on Vancouver and the surrounding areas. The location was great for the city center, close to English Bay with a nice...

Good hostel in general, great free breakfast in am. Great location. However, very noisy, despite closing window we could still hear everything out side AND everything that was going on next door...

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Most people find that when they stay at hostels more they get more used to the sound of others in their room - and we've always got free earplugs at the desk if that...

Good location, better deals elsewhere for private room

Great location near Davie Street bars and restaurants is definitely a drawcard (as is the free breakfast). However, I found the staff to be indifferent at best, and the private room was overpriced for...

Not impressed with the private rooms

The best thing about this hostel is its location. It is in a very convenient neighborhood to see all of the city's sights without driving and very safe! If you just need a bunk bed to crash on, this...

I've stayed in many hostels over the years and, while not as breathtaking as some of the hostels in Europe, the Vancounver Downtown hostel is a pretty good deal. It is located in Davie Village and...

I would reccommend this hostel to anyone who doesnt want to go out and get drunk every night. The other hostels in Vancouver, from my experience, seemed to be in noisy, less desirable areas (except...

This hostel has a mouse problem. We are awoken at 3 am and I had to go to reception to request a new room. I had to ask several times to get a refund for that night-the staff were very unwilling to do...
