Helpful staff, good number of bathrooms which were all clean. Comfy beds and a sink in every room. Well stocked kitchen but poor eating areas. Very close to a skytrain stop but also very close to lots of homeless/druggies. We enjoyed our stay.

Please note that they DO NOT have any mixed dorms, even though this is not mentioned on their listing. We are a couple and had to sleep in seperate rooms for the duration of our stay, as we have been traveling for 4 months we share a lot of things so not easy. Also note that there are a lot of long term stayers at this hostel and you may be placed in one of their rooms which they have obviously made their own however it makes you feel like you are staying in their house!

I feel our experience could be down to just a few select people/events. We were put in room 19, word of advice if you do choose to stay here and get put in 19 ask to move. The window in the room looks out onto the smoking balcony... Night 1: A terrible guitar player (common in most hostels) playing and singing from 12-4am Night 2: Said guitar player started his usual set with another guy chatting to him outside our window till randomly the guitarguy started laying into him. You could here a lot of commotion struggling (a one sided fight) Night 3: Guitarguy now a loner decides to shout at people on the street telling them they can come and join him until about 4am. This in addition to us making the maintenance guy aware that there was a leak dripping onto the electrics outside our door, but nothing was done about it. During our stay it was more like a retirement home and no one was particularly social. There isn't a great communal area, its more like a waiting room. The only positive point is that the staff warned us not to go up one end of the street at night as it was dangerous. So the location was great!

I stayed there couple days.Overall its a good place for budget traveler, bathrooms clean, helpful staff, kitchen,free wifi and one desktop with internet.Close to Chinatown where you can buy groceries and skytrain station.I rented a bike for 10$ a day. Cons, i would say: neighborhood (if you get closer to main@hastings),kitchen is locked after 22:30. I didn't meet lots of travelers, some ppl live there on permanent basis,so they are kind of bonded.

Not too expensive, but the location is not very good : not a great or interesting area and it's close to East hastings (crack town), so it's not very safe. The taxi driver was concerned about dropping me off here and so were my friends when I told them in which area I was staying. The staff is pretty friendly, but the people staying here are not very friendly, they don't even say hello.
