I loved the warm greeting at the door, the gardens, the beautiful decor, the fridge with breakfast food, the fantasy bookshelves, the houseplants, the environmentalist atmosphere, the EVERYTHING! =)

The hostel was absolutely lovely, it was like a home not a hostel, really loved it and we stayed in 4 of the different rooms all of them were lovely, especially the loft, u get fresh fluffy towels and the kitchen its really cool, u make ur own breakfast, they also have dvd player n tv and u can choose from their selection of hundreds of dvds, i would definitely recommend staying here. Also u can walk everywhere. The owners were so helpfull and friendly.

I loved the location! The building itself is a huge surprise and joy to stay in. There was a fire across the street one of the nights we were staying there, and thus ended up with out power for a portion of our stay. The kitchen was lite with Candles! It made it a real cozy and enchanting experiance. Next time I'm in town this is where i'm staying!!

The staff was very friendly and we felt more like in a friends house than in a hostel, hotel, b&b. You come in and feel like at home.

The Staff are amazing. Very kind and laid back. I really liked being so local--if you want to be right smack in the center of downtown, this is the place. I liked that this place was not a place to "party". It was a place to meet people, however. I went in the off season and it was really quiet-- and cold. brrr. But I loved my down comforter and my big fresh towels. I would recommend bringing earplugs fom random house sounds as well as some flipflops for the shower room. I felt very at home here. I can't wait to get back.

It was a great place to stay. Close to everything in Vancouver. We had a great view. We had amazing days. My boyfriend said that he wants to come back at our honeymoon because he loved everything. The breakfastoffer is also great. The staff ist so nice and if you need help there is everytime somebody there for you. It is such a friendly atmosphere after a few minutes you feel like home. Janine and Ken are really friendly and they take time to help you with every question (not only about the hostel) also about the city ect. We really want to come back
