Decent hostel. Needs updates but good location

The location is great, on the main strip. There is a front desk staffed with decent hours. There is a bar in the lobby which is convenient.

Pleasantly Surprised

From the minute I arrived, the staff were super friendly and very helpful. The washrooms were very clean and the beds were surprisingly comfortable ( for a bunk bed). They had a free breakfast (which I didn't know was included). Which had a variety for every person's diet needs.

Great place, amazing location, great price, meet randoms from every corner of the earth.

Breakfast was kinda super simple, essentially just pastries and coffee, but at the price point, you can't complain; it was pretty good.

Such nice staff, so helpful for walking tips and lovk breaking if you loose your key! Small but really well equipped kit

The staff were so friendly and helpful from tips on walks to helping me break my lock off my locker when I lost my key. Was in the heart of downtown, easy walk from trail and fairmont. Small but well equipped kitchen, great shower in my dorm.

Thus was the cleanest most helpful and friendly hostel. I will again stay

I loved the location the staff and the breakfast. It was noisy until 11 pm. But that is to be expected in a hostel the sound of people having fun was enjoyable to hear
