Hostels in British Columbia, Canada

Beautiful Vancouver!!! The hotel's location right on Vancouver's famous Granville Street is incredibly convenient. The breakfast was good, with milk, bagels, and some fruit. The only downside is that it's next to a bar street, so it can get a bit noisy at night. I highly recommend visiting Stanley Park!

Great value for price paid. Location is close to most attractions. Also there is a nearby parking lot on Johnson Street where you can park for free from 8pm to 8am. The stay includes breakfast and dinner. Place was clean but rooms are a bit cramped. I made a mistake of not getting earplugs (which are free btw).. it can get very loud at night from nearby homeless or party goers. Overall I would stay there again. Also, first drink at the bar is free!!!

Helpful staff, laundry on site. Kitchen has NOTHING not even cutlery/plates. Hard when traveling and jut wanting to buy trays etc. should have basics in there. Air con not air con really a built in fan with cold water. Our room got hotter not cooler and it was checked it was cold in the system but didn’t want to blow that out. Was told not an air con! So sad especially the price you are paying!

Very convenient location if your sim is to be right in the city center. The two subway train lines are within a couple of minutes walk ,as is the main high street. The Canada line provides a direct route to the train station (tip: buy a day ticket and it will cost less that the ticket to cross zones plus the additional airport surcharge). The Canada line is so convenient that if you did not care about being in the city center then staying somewhere else along the line further out may be cheaper. Hostel was clean and well organized. There is a strict no eating in the room policy, though there are kitchen facilities to be used. Hire a towel. Rooms and front entrance has key card access. Room has no Aircon so can be warm, though there is a small electric fan. The room with two beds has bunk bed, cages under the bed and a stool….that is it. There are no privacy curtains, individual dockets or lights for each bed, only the main room light so make sure you have a touch/light, though as the curtains do not block all street light the room feels as it has a nightlight on and does not ever get really dark. I stayed Saturday and Sunday night. Sunday was quiet , though the hostel is above a bar and do Saturday had music playing for many hours while trying to get to sleep not the place for light sleepers.

Vibrant youth hostel, suitable for a temporary stay alone

It would have been really important to mention that they have cats. You know. To someone like me who is very allergic to cats. I have emergency medication for this kind of BS. I was there one night but I would have rebooked if was not way too late. 1 night of sleepless wheezing misery. Without the allergy thing, the rooms were hot and airless. People were leaving the doors open and using fans to blow around the cat dander, I mean air. It's not safe to leave doors open, but that's the guests. The ladder for the top bunk (bunkbed) had one side not covered. It's sharp metal and easy to cut yourself on. These issues are not hard to fix, hopefully they can improve, since that location is perfect for walking to and from concerts. Hey if you love cats, still be careful, this neighbourhood can be dangerous.

Best hostel I've stayed at in Canada during g my time here. Clean, lots to do and a large kitchen area for you to cook if you don't want to eat out.great Location just off the highway and is in close distance to the chief, Shannon falls downtown and so much more. Would definatley recommend

It was an amazing exercise staying at Turtle, it’s in the middle of downtown, super close to ocean, restaurants and night life is good. I’m definitely staying there again! It was clean n neat, no one disturbed, guests were super friendly.
