Vancouver Backpacker House

I wanted to book for 4 nights, but the community manager asked me to pay by wire transfer before and deposit $100. I replied that it was impossible for me and I preferred to pay at the hostel. I had never seen this before, depositing a lot of money to book nights, he was a very rude man, very rude. I do not advise you to go there.

don’t stay here if you’re a women, management monitors the home through cameras so theres no one actually there. Felt kind of like staying in a fraternity. The female 5 room dorm is really nice but the atmosphere in general is eery

This is most likely an illegal operation. I originally booked through Hostel world, like I have used many times before. You have to first email the owner to get check in information. They then ask you to text them to confirm u0026 send your photo ID and picture of your credit card through text messages. We tried to pay with a credit card u0026 they only supplied a Paypal link - likely because PayPal won't refund money if there is an issue. After telling the staff I was uncomfortable sending my ID and credit card information over text messages, they threatened me and cancelled my booking.

It was a clean place, better than I expected. And the staff is friendly and always responds fast. It felt like a safe environment. I recommend 👌

It’s not to bad. Clean for the most part. For the price you can go wrong if you’re only staying a night or 2.

I think most people leaving a 1 star review are trying to treat this like a hotel experience when it is exactly what it says it is, a simple and quick place to sleep for people traveling. I was able to book a room at nearly midnight and they were still able to accomodate me, for what you pay it is a great service and I'd stay here again if I was traveling through town.

I called from their doorstep and was able to book a room by e-transfer. The room was a 3 person dorm style but I was in it by myself. It's a bit dated and the walls are paper thin. But if you're a traveller on a budget it's clean, safe and you'll meet some nice people.

I think people who are leaving negative reviews need to manage their expectations. This place is clean, safe, comfortable, well organized, and affordable. What more do you need? I’ve had a great stay and would absolutely stay here again if I’m passing through town! Very quick to respond on WhatsApp, nice hosts who actually know your name, and the guests I’ve met have been very nice too.
