Vancouver
We also put together a shortlist of the hostels in Vancouver we've been to, it's in the Victoria and BC Guide. |
SameSun Backpackers Lodge (1018 Granville Street) A fantastic large-scale hostel with great amenities including pool tables and a nice bar. Can't beat the location either if you want to be in the heart of downtown. |
| Pacific Spirit Hostel (PHN - at UBC) (Only open Mar. 15 - Aug. 15) In the summertime UBC opens it residences for backpackers. |
| Cambie International Hostel (310 Cambie Street) Housing one of, if not the oldest, bar in BC, this place is known for its great parties. |
| Cambie International Hostel (515 Seymour Street) A stylish bar with a more smaller-scale hostel located above it. |
| C&N Backpackers (PHN - 927 Main Street) Just a short walk to the downtown core and a hop away from Science World. |
| C&N Backpackers (PHN - aka Central Station Hostel, at 1038 Main Street) Geared more towards groups and longer-terms stay, this hostel is located right by the train/bus depot. |
| St. Clair Hotel (PHN - 577 Richards Street) These guys straddle the hostel/budget hotel line, so they only have private rooms. They're in a great downtown location and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. |
| YWCA Hotel/Residence (733 Beatty Street) The Y is a hotel that offers private rooms only but they cater to a lot of travellers and offer top quality accommodation for the price! |
| Grand Trunk Hostel (55 Powell Street) For those on a very tight budget. |
