This hostel has bed bugs. It's a gross hostel. Pay more and stay somewhere that takes care of problems like this. If you stay here, make sure you leave your bags outside (as there are no bathtubs to put your bags in) and check the mattresses in your room. If you see bed bug evidence, go somewhere else. I have...

Ive stayed in many hostels around the world but this is the worst one I have ever stepped foot in. Fortunately the staff were friendly and gave us a refund so we didnt have to stay!! We booked a 4 bed dorm, if the beds had been any closer together they might as well have put beds in there. The... More

Don't use the showers and toilets? Then yes, the cambie is a very good place. Buttttt. If you want a quite and clean place, no way, then it's a... More

This place is possibly the worst hostel I've ever stayed in. The place is unclean, unsanitary and it smells. The rooms all need updating; wobbly beds, mattresses that look like they havent been changed for years etc. The hostel is in a dodgy area too, right in the middle of drug addict central. The area is full of crackheads, so... More

I recently stayed here with a couple of friends. The price is reasonable but the rooms are dingy and not even worth the meager price we paid. While staying here we went to the hostels well know pub. We could hear the doorman being extremely rude to several people and even once heard him yelling and pushing a group of... More

I've been two nights in Cambie Hostel Gastown, and it has been the worst Hostel of all my holiday in Canada. The room was not comfortable at all and also the bathroom was very poor even if they use to clean it every day. The hostel is located just beside the pub, full of young people during the night, and... More

What to say about the Cambie in Gastown... If you're looking to stay somewhere central on a budget, this hostel definitely offers cheap affordable rooms. With only a few minute walk to the skytrain station, and a short walk to Davies, Robson, & Granville St, the location seems pretty incredible. EXCEPT for the fact that you're a block away from...

I didn't want to believe the reviews but at this place you really get what you pay for. the beds have clean sheets but remnants of previous guests are plentiful on the blankets. the bar downstairs is incredibly loud. the hallways smell of old feet which is unsuccessfully masked every morning by a cleaner wiping the floors with chlorine. the...

My two girlfriends and I (all mothers in our early 30’s) wanted to experience something we've never experienced before so when planning a trip to Vancouver, B.C. (we're from Spokane, WA - USA) we decided we wanted to try out a hostel. We were truly walking into the Gastown Cambie totally blind with the exception of reviewing their website! We'd... More
