wonderful staff. As an elderly person I really feel this is one of the best hostels I have stayed worldwide. Clean, safe and the area is becoming more upscale as each year goes by and wonder how long this hostel will be around before developers take over!!!

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ, I had a very positive experience at C&N Backpackers. This is a hostel so the amenities are modest but the service and staff were quite excellent. I appreciated their professionalism and hard work. I felt safe in the hostel and environs. The neighbourhood is one of extremes of wealth and poverty, so use wise judgement in going about. -John 316

very central, close to the public transit system.

Considering the price, this hostel is excellent! The staff and people in general are very friendly and helpful. Even though the location is really dodgy and not quite central, it has proven to be safe and easy to walk and take public transportation from. We would recommend it!

This hostel is very clean (bathrooms, rooms, kitchen). The two-person private room is very good value and it comes with a sink, mini fridge and tv. The location is close to chinatown/skytrain/science world, but not that great as there are some homeless people around the area. The hostel itself seems very safe. Free internet is nice too, although there is only 1 computer. Really friendly staff.

friendly and helpful staff

Very helpful staff. However on the second floor, it was VERY hot and there wasn't a fan provided. So literally just baked in our room all night. We tried opening the window but were right next to the smokers deck outside that with an open window came lots of fumes. But the room was very nice. I would recommend this hostel, but perhaps also recommend you bring a way to stay cool, if visiting in the summer.

Very clean with great cooking facilities. Close to Sky Train and transport centre - Greyhound bus and other buses. 15/20min walk overbridge into main shopping areas of downtown.

It is so close to the buses and skytrain, which makes everything accesible. The people who worked there were very friendly and helpful too.

the hostel was great, inexpensive, super central location, friendly helpful staff, clean, fun nice cozy atmosphere. As a single female traveler I felt secure and got in touch with other cool people. the best: everything is in walking distance- from ocean to Museums to night life. Main street is definitely the insider tip with all the alternative designer fashion stores and artists and antique stores, hostel and Main street are highly recommendable

The staff are brilliant and helpful, especially Joe. Every effort is made to screen the people who stay; this provides a good and safe environment.

The location is great if you're arriving by bus or train. It's only about a 15 minute walk to the main shopping/downtown area. the area isn't the nicest, but i felt comfortable (I'm 23 & female & travelling alone). I wouldn't suggest walking home alone late at night after partying/clubbing etc (but that sort of applies anywhere!). The bus stop for downtown and stanley park is right across the street. The hostel itself is really cozy and sweet. the staff is SUPER helpful and the water is HOT! Loads of maps, and info aswell.
