Like I said in the title I usually don't expect much from hostels : I am aware that youth hostels are not for relaxation, luxury and comfort. But no one would ever want to experience a stay at the american backpackers, even the least demanding person. When we arrived, my friends and I could smell the marijuana in the hostel;... more

They violate the Canadian law because they refuse to accept people over 35. I tried... Inform BCHumanRightsTribunal@gov.bc.ca In addition, there is dirtiness everywhere. I asked somebody and it seems there is no free beer. It is a tale. Also the same prices are a tale. etc athos77@hotmail.com more

After many phone calls, we realized it was a near impossible night to get... more

He booked it through hostels.com and after reading the reviews i was very apprehensive about staying there, but we figured that we would deal with it when we got there and... more

Nice people, cheap prices, really unclean and to top it off the place is infested with BEDBUGS!

I woke up... more
