it was loud- dirty and expensive Granville street is pretty scary at night, with panhandlers and drunks hanging out there not my cup of tea- don't stay there 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

Book this hostel if you just need a place to crash, the location is perfect for nightlife on granville and in yaletown, and just a quick walk to robson street and stanley park, check in took awhile and the rooms kinda smelled bad, but for the price it was great! more

This hostel is alright but I was recomended by others that the HI's in Vancouver are nicer - they had been in both. Having only been in samesun I found it alright. It's not the nicest, but its ok.

The surrounds are quite dodgy and would not recommend to solo females. Our dorm room had an awful stench- keeping windows open all day didn't help! We moved to the Downtown HI on Burnaby... more

the samesun is very well placed in vancouver, very close to bars, theatres etc and also easy walking distance to the waterfront. on site they have a very good bar / restaurant and the accommodation was clean, if a little basic. the staff were good and it was only about $5 for a taxi to the rail station. we were... more
