Lovely place for a stay. I spent just one night but was perfect. The room was cozy and the mattress really comfortable, on the firm side (just what I needed). Shared bathrooms are absolutely clean. There is a community kitchen which I did not use but great to know I could have. Check-in was super easy and independent which I appreciated because I arrived very late at night.

The hostel is a beautiful charming house next to the shore. In the community place the fireplace and a wooden house style makes the places more attractive. The rooms and restrooms were very clean. The staff was helpful and communicative. I would visit the Guesthouse again.

Everything, staff were very helpful. Allowed me to leave luggage on last day so I didn't have to pull it around town on the last day. The other people in the hostel were respectful and friendly. Felt very safe and comfortable . View from hostel was incredible !

We stayed in one of the private rooms and it was very clean, spacious, and had really comfortable bed/bedding. The shared bathrooms were close to all rooms and I never once had to wait for a shower or toilet. The free breakfast was surprisingly good! I think some of the poor reviews are from before they renovated this was a great hostel. Highly recommend also for people other than backpackers who need a budget place to stay for an event in Van

The location was great and the staff were very friendly. They took me for a tour of the Hostel so I knew where everything was. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. I felt very safe as I know people have the misconception that hostels are unsafe.

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.

After traveling around BC/Alberta for a month this is for sure the best hostel I've stayed at. Reminds of similar concepts in Asia/Europe. This had a very cool layout though which also accommodated couples in their own capsule if they so wish. Very tidy, nice little kitchen with everything we needed to cook breakfast/lunch and a super friendly owner to top it all off! No doubt of where we would stay if we pass through this cool little town again.
