Accommodating Hosts
Excellent choice for a roof over your head for a night. Hosts were very responsive and straightforward / clear about instructions for check-in and 'house rules'

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.

Fantastic stay for what we needed. We felt safe with code locks on both front and room doors. Check in was easy and staff quick to respond. We didnt use the common areas much but the living room looked cozy and standard kitchen. Just what we needed for a place to crash after an event

Sep 2, 2024
Unfortunately, our experience staying at this property was highly disappointing. The cost of 344 CAD per night does not match the quality of the conditions. The room was in the basement with dusty floors, no hot water in the shower, and the shared shower and toilet were dirty. The noise insulation was so poor that every step from the tenants above was very loud. We also did not receive a positive response from the host to our inquiries. I do not recommend this place for staying.

Lovely quiet neighbourhood. I slept very well every night. Train station, bus stops, a mall, and many lovely cafes and restaurants within a fifteen minute walk.
No front desk, everything done over messenger apps, but the response time was very quick and the owner was helpful. You need $1 coins to use the washer/dryers.
