We stayed for 2 nights in mid-September 2025. It was my first time in a hostel and I would recommend it. It is a well-organized establishment with amenities, frequented by multi-generational families and young adults. The place was clean and quiet during downtime.

“an experience which we will laugh about for years and never go back again.”
The location was such that we could walk to the down town of Tofino and enjoy the waterfront and restaurants.

Great location, friendly staff, large communal spaces, plus the pool table is in great shape and it's fun having the guitars in the lounge-type area.

The hostel is a beautiful charming house next to the shore. In the community place the fireplace and a wooden house style makes the places more attractive. The rooms and restrooms were very clean. The staff was helpful and communicative. I would visit the Guesthouse again.

The location is great, you can walk to the beach in 20 minutes but are right in town so lots of nice eateries around & the house itself is beautiful, I loved the chill out area with the most amazing view! highly recommend!
