Cambie Hostel - Gastown

Well located hostel in downtown Vancouver, relatively clean. On the other hand, the toilets on the first floor were out of service during our entire stay, and the kitchen is poorly equipped (not enough glasses, plates, cutlery for everyone)

Very good

Common areas are not very well appointed and quite narrow. Same for the common bathroom which is really too small and poorly arranged, especially for the number of people that the hostel can accommodate. In the rooms we hear the music of the bar parties on the ground floor as if we were there, we sometimes even feel the beds vibrate. There are often a lot of drunk people who make noise at night. Basically it's far from relaxing and comfortable places, even for a hostel.

Auberge de jeunesse vraiment pas cher, mais le quartier n'est pas très sympa, on croise souvent des junkies. Toilettes et douches sales, et une seule toilette était fonctionnelle. Il y a un bar très bruyant juste en bas, impossible de dormir avant 2 heures... pas cher mais pas très confort.

Wifi in the dorm rooms is excellent. The staff are very helpful and made sure my lost luggage from my flight arrived safe and sound at reception. Great central location, a short walk from the train station.

In all honesty the hostel is fine. I read mixed reviews. Yes it could be a little cleaner but I have definitely stayed at worse places, some people exaggerate a lot on this. Atmosphere was really good. Nice bar and restaurant. Location couldn't be better, good nightlife downstairs and around the area. Good kitchen facilitates and a decent living room/common area to hang out. Staff are really helpful and friendly.

Nothing

central location, the bar downstairs

The location and bar downstairs

Location.

Not much to be very honest.The breakfast was good value.

I liked the location, so close to downtown but in a much cooler area. I liked the building.. was cool. Lockers in the rooms were great and the mattresses were real ones.. and big! Cleanliness was really good, the cleaners do a great job nothing ever has enough time to get dirty!

The service was good.

- Breakfast was alright - Location is okay

The Pub downstairs

Love the old school ness of the building, its very art deco

Good situation in town centre and near the Gastown steam clock Free Computer and wifi access free Good breakfast with small additonal charge or free muffin and coffee Friendly staff

The beds are comfortable.

Internet & laundry facilities good.

It was really clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful with stuff I needed to know and even charging my phone for me! The rooms are big and the beds are really comfortable with lockers to safely store your stuff. The free breakfast from the cafe next door was a real bonus too :) and delicious!

reception was so friendly and kind!! You can go everywhere in Vancouver from Cambie.

Good zone

Location is everything. Close to public transport and great shopping only 10 mins walk away.

Great Location.

Stayed only one short night, breakfast could be upgraded to an awesome English breakfast, which was great.

I think the location is great, ok the Pub downstairs is noisy all the time, but if you are a partypeople then it is ok. And I could sleep even I was living on floor one. Really shit was the broken mens bathroom in floor one. And really disgusting is that the hostel takes 45 dollar for the bed in a dorm from 9th feb-12th march (olympics).... that is NOT nice.Anyway I hope the paint the kitchen and rooms before the 9th feb.But the breakfast is good and I saw other hostels in Vancouver and this is still one of the better hostels.

everything

Very fun, and in one of the best locations you can hope for. The pub was excellent and the rooms so secure that even the guests have trouble getting the doors to unlock! Friendly staff and an all around great hostel.
