Two friends and me stayed there for two nights in a 3 people room. Enough space, nice washrooms, good kitchen, caring staff. I would stay there again! It's great value for what you pay and an excellent location.

After booking a campsite, and showing up in the pouring rain we were stuck. With all hotels being booked/too expensive we looked at the hostel. We had a private room and it was very clean. The staff made you feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this hostel for anyone staying. Since the weather is unpredictable its the best way... More

One of the best hostels you can find. It's dining and lounge area outlook on the ocean and is an awesome view to wake up to. There is a pool table, tv area and a really decent kitchen for everyone to use. I left a few weeks ago and already miss it. The staff is also really great! Highly recommend.

Probably the best HI hostel in Canada. Great value if you are off season (Around 28 $ for a bed in dormitory). it is still brand new with the one of the best location in Tofino on the waterfront (but on the harbour side and not where the sandy beaches are!) Staff is particularly efficient and performant always cleaning and... More

This hostel associated with Hostel International (HI) is AMAZING!! Very Clean with all the amenities you would expect. The staff are very helpful and easily accessible. The view from the dining area onto the water allows for a relaxing enjoyable meal. It is within a 2 minute walk to downtown. Great value for this area!!

This hostel was deluxe! Such a great location, very clean and a huge very well equipped kitchen. It was very quiet as I visited in early March but I still met some great people. The staff were very friendly and helpful except for the young guy, trying to act cool and sarcastic instead of actually answering my questions. I would... More

I'm a 65 year old who hasn't stayed in a hostel for many years. This one is light years away from what I remember in the 70s. Bedrooms and washroom were clean and comfortable. A big clean kitchen that is fully equipped. Bright comfortable lounge and dining room overlooking the ocean. We could watch the eagles as we drank our... More

This is without a doubt the cleanest hostel that I have been too maybe even on the planet earth. If you go inside you will see for yourself that it is sparkling clean. It's not only clean; it's cosy, comfortable, homey and best of all; it's got a great view of the ocean from the living and dining rooms. Bed... More

I stayed for 3 nights in the coed room with 2 others. The hostel has most of the things we needed, and even more. Kitchen, sauna, grocery store nearby, nice view, and very comfortable beds. The condition of the facilities were good, as if they were built not long ago, though we learnt it was built in the 90s (if... More

I've stayed at many hostels in my early years and many were less than stellar. This hostel, however, is top rate as hostels go, the reviews are true. My honey and I are in our 40's and not wanting to sleep in a dorm, so we booked a private room for half the price that hotels were going for in... More
