Excellent option for late arrivals in Vancouver! I traveled from Ontario to attend a sporting event and arrived in Vancouver around 10:30 PM. I had a terrible experience in the past with another place that didn’t allow check-ins after 11 PM — I lost my money and had to find a hotel at the last minute. Thankfully, this time was completely different! The host was very understanding, and the late check-in went smoothly. This kind of flexibility is incredibly important for those coming from far away and arriving late at night. The place was very well-organized, clean, and cozy. The beds were neatly made with clean sheets and comfortable pillows. The environment was quiet and welcoming — perfect for resting after a long day of travel or work. I highly recommend this place, especially for anyone who needs flexible check-in hours. I’ll definitely stay here again next time!

Much better than what I expected.

A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places. The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp. I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.

I don't know the meaning of paying the additional fee, and the request for personal information, and the condition of the accommodation is not good, so I felt bad.

Easy self check in and in a location close to shopping and transportation which is great. The room itself was not great with blankets cover this window and ants crawling… if you are solo and don’t need anything more its fine.

This was my first time staying in a shared property kind of location. The first night was a tad noisy with people returning late and but I was able to reach out to the property managers who were able to control the people who didn’t realize it was 2 am in the morning. It’s an ideal place for younger crowd who want to have a place and travel and sight see rest of the day. What is amazing the people who run this place will respond to any queries any time day or night.

The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

The room was kind of messy and not completely clean. Cobwebs in the closet for example. Some of the bathrooms were better kept than others. Overall an okay place to stay short-term or if you do mind a messy area. Service was good and easy to communicate with.

The Backpacker house, is literally someone’s house. Beds were basically on the floor. We were told larger lockers would be in the dorm of sharing 5 people, there were no lockers in the room, they were all downstairs. I therefore spent more on the room for no benefit. You have to walk past some sketchy areas to get there. If you do not have a cell phone you cannot check in as it is done by text. Bathrooms were fine.
