Liked: Clean rooms & washrooms, nice staff, great location! The "Beaver" (bar downstairs) has great lunch/dinner offer for travelers on a budget. All in all one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far.

Liked: It's a great hostel considering there aren't many in Vancouver, hence no competition/incentive to improve. The staff are really friendly and there is plently of space to chill out if you don't want to party downstairs.

Disliked: The bathrooms need re-vamping, and the food storage system isn't great in the kitchen (if you are there for awhile) but really there isn't much to dislike.

Liked: Staff were extremely helpful and obviously used to giving advice to people spending the season in Whistler. The location was close to downtown and very convenient. Buffet breakfast was included and pretty good.

Disliked: Bathrooms could have been a little bit cleaner, but they weren't too bad, really. Just old.

Liked: Location was great, as mentioned, it's very central in Downtown Vancouver.

Disliked: Beds were quite squeaky and the noise from outside - but the noise factor should be expected for a place with a main road location and bar downstairs

Liked: The tv room was cool, kitchen was big and use to cook in, the bar area down stairs was also good.

Disliked: Very limited toliets and showers for the volume of people, can be a bit noisy on the street, and the staff were not that helpful it felt like they needed a holiday and they were just on auto all the time.
