Amazing location within seconds of the trail head, town and a bike shop! Knowledgeable staff who also helped with laundry. Comfy room and shared bathrooms were very clean. Great shared area - we loved using the free pool table!

Lovely place for a stay. I spent just one night but was perfect. The room was cozy and the mattress really comfortable, on the firm side (just what I needed). Shared bathrooms are absolutely clean. There is a community kitchen which I did not use but great to know I could have. Check-in was super easy and independent which I appreciated because I arrived very late at night.

“Top hostel I've been to!”

The staff maintain the entire hostel with pride and care, creating a welcoming environment that's very comfortable. We love Cumberland town and this hostel location. Rooms are attractive and comfortable. Bathrooms are impeccably kept. Love the big common area with games tables and a pool table.

Kitchen and main room are spacious and well equipped. Nice concert in the backyard nearby, entrance by donation, you can bring your own buzz. Awesome Ukrainian band played. Lots of board games, kids were occupied. Modern washing machines with no coins. No TV!!! The vibe!!

“Loved this hostel – clean, cozy, and in a charming village. Great location close to beautiful hiking and mountain biking”

“Thank you so much. Great place”

Great cooking and hunger facilties for evenings

“Excellent hostel!!”

Beautiful hostel located in the former general store. Lots of wood and character. Spotless. Good ratio bathroom per person. Very comfortable bed. The kitchen is very well equipped, including some basics such as salt and sugar. Lots of games in the common room. Free parking just outside.

Kitchen was good equipped, rooms had everything we needed, bathrooms were clean and not busy.

“Perfect pit stop for a boys' biking and beer trip.”

Really well equipped kitchen, cozy common room with board games and pool table, secure bike storage, right next to the trails and close to the brewery and restaurants.

“Feels like home”

Staying at Riding Fools feels like being at home away from home! Perfect for work trips or for vacations. Welcoming and charming, I wasn’t disappointed by my second stay. Can’t wait to come back.

I like the vibe of this hostel, nice old building and best location.

Great atmosphere, great communal spaces for eating, cooking, sitting or playing pool. Good bathrooms - never had to wait and great to have a full bathroom in each, not a shower room with cubicles. Room was small but comfortable. Place was quiet but friendly. Location was great for walking, biking, Comox etc.

Location. Cool vibe

Everything was clean and tidy. Kitchen was kitted out with everything I needed. Very easy check-in with door codes. Cosy spot, would stay again!

“Loved the staff, people and the experience!”

Very clean. Quiet. Love the old wooden floors and the spacious common rooms.

Easy check in & vey clean facilities!
