Was a very solid hostel. Everything was good - my only downsides were the bathrooms were very small and the music from the bar was very loud late at night (on a Saturday). Would definitely keep in mind if you’re a lighter sleeper

The room had a very unpleasant smell, and I could still smell it on my clothes even after 10 days, lol. Other than that, the staff were incredibly helpful. For a short stay, it's not too bad, it might just be that I have a particularly sensitive sense of smell. The surrounding area wasn't the best, although there are several good coffee shops nearby and it's within walking distance of downtown Vancouver. However, as a solo female traveler, I sometimes felt a bit unsafe.
