The location is no where near the centre of town or Stanley park, seems to be in the middle of nothing. The hostel has very little character and very little to do here and its seems the staff aren't enthusiastic about organising anything. Just stay in the Vancouver Central atleast your closer to the centre of town and it has its own bar.
Hi Oliver,
I'm a little confused - we're located in the West End of Downtown Vancouver. We're 1.5km from Stanley Park, 300m to the ferry to Granville Island, 300m from the beach, and less than 2km from Canada Place. In fact, we're less than 900m away from HI Central (closer to Stanley Park then they are!). We've also got all the same great activities the Central does, organized by our fantastic Groups Coordinator!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. Central certainly does have a bar on site, and if you're looking to be in the middle of the Entertainment district, close to bars and pubs, then Central may have been a better fit for you.
Happy travels!

Excellent. The breakfast was awesome and the staff were really friendly and helpful. :) Would definitely go back.
The location was very good - walking distance to Stanley Park. Very clean, and lots of hot water in the showers.

Great if you need a super central location, close by "night life"(if in Vancouver there is one...) and down town beaches. Very quite and safe. Small dorms, only one small window per dorm (it can be smelly). Staff? Gosts, not very helpful with directions and first hand tips.

So me and my sister planned a road trip for our first time in Canada. We looked at the hostels online and this seemed like the perfect choice. So we booked it. Drove over and to our suprise it was. Initially me and my sister booked a dorm private for just me and her but a shared bathroom. They messed up in the system and because of their mess up we ended up with a ensuite bathroom and actually paid less for it. It is located right in the heart of downtown. Pretty easy to find. Can walk literally
Hi Shirley,
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Because you booked late for the next day we were full in our private rooms and put you in our "handicapped" room with a wheelchair accessible bathroom. We only charge dorm rate for that room. I'm glad it worked out for that you didn't need a double bed! I hope we'll see you again!
Best,
Alan

Close enough to bars/clubs but without the party atmosphere/noise at night. Very clean. Hotel like.
