We only stayed one night, in transit to Toronto, but were really happy with The Cambie. Really convenient location, great facilities, safe building. Would happily recommend.

Hi Vancouver Downtown has become one of my go-to hostels in Vancouver. It's in a fantastic location close to any and all amenities, bus routes, and the sky train lines. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. The rooftop garden is always a nice spot to take a moment in (even when there's a slight drizzle). Recently the hostel also started having breakfast options out for guests and that looked like quite the hit. In terms of dorms, the 4-bed rooms are cosy, the outlet panel above the beds are super handy, and out of all the places I've stayed I'd have to say this one has the best blankets on the beds.

I booked a single room to pre-study for school and the host gave me a double room with a large table and a chair to study! Shower never gets cold, and even had cookware. Got a lot done in those two days I stayed.

All hostels in Vancouver

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I selected the hostel for its location and relatively cheap price. Please mind, that across the road there is a building where the junkies live. It is safe, but vibes...

For the money, the location was dope. Within walking distance to everything we needed. Hostel offered plenty of advice on cheap things to do in Van and how to meet other backpackers.

Good location, cheap stay in Vancouver. The beds were comfy and having rooms of four people allowed for a more quiet night than at other hostels with larger rooms.
