One of the finest place to stay with a low budget. I am now here on a short trip to UBC and writing this review. If you are alone this is the best place with minimum charges. Single rooms and well equipped. Has a microwave and fridge in the common area of the kitchen. I love it!

All visitors go to the Mackenzie building. The others are for summer camp participants. The hostel is open for reservation only during the summer. Note: my rating is so high as I stay in a hostel during the school semester, so I'm used to sharing a bathroom and to the noise that comes through thin walls. If you have never... More 

After researching This hostel it seemed like a perfect spot on my stop tofino.. I didn't call in advance because I knew I'd be in Vancouver at a decent time. Arrived at 9 o'clock at night called the number off of Google for this hostel. Only to be told by a very rude receptionist that the hostel is currently being... More 

I stayed at Vanier Residence for about 3 weeks. I have stayed at UBC in the past in the Gage residence which I do prefer both for location and set up and working kitchen. Those were all booked so I took a room here. Basic enough and clean . No issues with that. Floors are divided washrooms Male on odd... More 

I rent a single room for three nights here. My experience was wonderful. I paid about 33 CAD for each night. If you understand the prevailing price of a single room in a hotel in Vancouver, it is very expensive. If you go for other hostels near downtown, security may be an issue. Therefore, overall, for a female solo traveler,... More 

I stayed here for 4 nights recently. Wish that I had known about this last year. I would have saved a bundle of money. I stayed with my partner in a small dormitory room. It was very quiet and once again affordable. It was about $35.00 plus tax minus 10% from my Hostelling International Card. In my opinion this is... More 

I spend about a week each June at the Vancouver International Song Institute, which takes place on the UBC campus. Since lodging costs for that length of time can really add up, I am willing to make the tradeoff between price and luxury. It is indeed a dorm room, and the single rooms I've had are quite small, and of... More 

Pacific Spirit Hostel on the campus of UBC has served its purpose for brief stays during the past two summers. If you enjoyed your undergraduate days in a small dorm room, the hostel rooms are fine for one person. There are better choices in Vancouver for the price they charge for two people. UBC is a beautiful campus, and it... More 

If I wanted to pay 70 bucks to stay in a crummy dorm room with dirty sheets and no kitchen access, I would go to... oh wait, I would never want to do that. Unfortunately that is what ended up happening when I stayed here. Lop 25 bucks off the price and maybe well talk, but this place was not... More
