Liked: The location on McKay Ave was smaller and quite. Its about 5min to the Metrotown Skytrain station. Carol and Max, who run the place were awesome.

Disliked: The curtains are a bit thin so you wake up early - but you get used to it.

Liked: Located in Burnaby, very close to Metrotown Skytrain station which takes about 15 minutes to get into town. Close to local shopping mall so ideal for longer stays. Max and Carol are very friendly and extremely helpful. Good if you are looking to chill out and have a relaxed time.

Liked: Cheap and affordable place to stay in an expensive city. Facility and service adequate for the price paid and location isn't too bad either. Staff courteous and friendly for the most part and the atmosphere of the place is rather subtle for a hostel. Overall, I would recommend this place for travelers who are seeking down time from a hectic environment.

Disliked: No serious dislikes about the place worth scrutinizing, but if I had to mention a dislike it would be how dull the place can be at times, but the quality of your experience is determined by what you make of it, so keep that in mind.

Liked: The staff were very helpful and it is very close to the shopping mall and the skytrain. The building could do with a little renovation and needs proper beds. Mattresses on top of each other are not very comfortable.
