A fair few people put this place down, though ive stayed here twice now and probably will go back again, I don't have many problems with it. Its an old building, the bathrooms are a bit run down, though they get cleaned everyday. I really like the staff here, always keen for a chat and will help you with anything... More

SO LOUD. I arrived on a saturday night and the bar downstairs didn't stop rocking til the wee hours. I was in a 2 person dorm. It was so small my roommate and I couldn't even get ready in the room and the same time. Also it was pretty dirty and there were mice.

After an awful experience at SameSun, we walked over to Cambie and for the same price of a gross 6 bed dorm at SameSun we got a 2 bed dorm at Cambie. The room was fine, linens were clean and the bed was comfy BUT the kitchen was DISGUSTING and grungy and looked like it hadnt been cleaned in ages.... More

The management was helpful, but the overall experience was bad. This is one of the worst hostels I've been to, and that compares to places I've visited in developing countries. The rooms were way too stuffy despite being 70 degrees outside due to poor ventilation, the noise was terrible despite the hostel no longer having bands on the ground floor,... More

My first mistake was staying here on a Saturday night. I'll admit that. But don't even think about sleeping here until 4am. The walls are paper thin and you hear every footstep in the corridors. Wearing earplugs didn't help because the music from the band playing in the club 2 floors below vibrated the entire building. The rooms are tiny... More

Stayed here for one night before we moved into permanent accommodation.We got a private double room ( 1 bunk bed), we ended up sleeping in the same bottom bunk as there was no heat in the room (202) so we had to combine our body heat to keep warm. I was afraid of falling out of the top bunk if... More

The Cambie was really not the best place to ground myslef in Vancouver after a very long flight. I was particularly jetlagged and looking for a comfortable bed and a hot shower. I did not find either of these things here. The staff appeared to be uninterested and not very helpful. They ceased to give me a run down of... More

Stayed here for the Olympics with a large group. Despite emailing numerous times they FORGOT to reserve my room... leaving me to look for a room at 11pm on the day of my arrival! Desk staff could not possibly be less helpful (his nicknames is "shady," really), we then stayed for 6 days (no other choice believe me) I would... More

We stayed here three nights on first arriving from nz. It was easy to get to and was fine for us. room was clean, staff were helpful. the internet was down while we were there which was a pain but there were plenty of other free networks to bludge off. the pub underneath was handy, a beer at the end...
