Want a place in Vancouver that is centrally located, cheap and on the skytrain line? Choose Samesun. PROS: Location, plenty of backpackers from all over, in the middle of nightlife, cost of room CONS: Free bkfast consists of toast and juice, mattresses are quite thin (bring an extra pillow), hallways smell like B.O., pretty hard to meet people who are... more

The guy who checked us in after our long flight from Oz via a stopover in LA was rude, uninterested and full of himself. My husband and I paid for a private room and that was all it was a room with a bed...and very little space with a need for some renovating. A TINY common area and only 1... more

The place was in the centre Vancouver. The staff were very helpful and could answer any questionsi had. The satff was a mix of locals and from all around the world, so I felt very at home. I really enjoyed the bar, the food is cheap and the drinks the same. All in all I would love too go back... more

We originally wanted to stay at HI Central or Downtown but there was no opening, so we booked our entire stay at HI Jericho Beach. The location is definitely great, so if you can't find a bed, definitely check both the HI Central and SameSun. The Jericho beach location was too inconvenient for enjoying downtown, so we tried to find... more

Arrived at this hostel after a long flight from Melbourne. The staff on the front desk were rude and not helpful at all!! Checked in to my room and it was a disgrace, they basically have no time limit on how long people can stay for, the room i stayed in, one of the girls had been living there for... more

A good location, with a bar and good restaurant downstairs. Password for the door changed daily for safety. Towels are available for hire, linen supplied. Free wifi and cheap computers to hire. Fridges available with a simple kitchen. Free breakfast is pancakes you cook yourself. Just allow a long time cause they take ages!! This is a busy and tired... more

The staff at the samesun are very friendly and can help you out with anything you may need. The hostel was clean but could probably do with some maintanence. The rooms are pretty small so feel a bit crowded as are the common areas. It is located in downtown Vancouver, full of homeless, so expect them to be hanging around... more

Location of this hostel is close to everything. Short bus to Stanley Park, down the street from Seabus to Graus Mountain, and two blocks to sky train. Got private room with shared bath. Room was clean, bathrooms were cleaned daily, and noise what you would expect for a hostel. Small bar on main floor had drinks and dinner special for... more

I have stayed here twice, It is a secure hostel they use pin codes to get you up to the rooms and, after hours, into the hostel that change everyday. While the lower level rooms do get to listen to the music from the bar down stairs, its sweet as if youre keen for a night on the town. I... more

I am not sure why the reviews are so poor for this place. It is not the Ritz Carlton but is a safe and fun place to stay. The place has a nice bar in the lobby and I met so many people during my stay there. If you like a very quiet place that is spotless than stay across... more
