Great location. Great for young travelers or tourists who don't mind sharing a room. But having cats in the hallway made it smell a bit.

Went to Vancouver for Canucks game the room was good was relatively quiet, beds were adequate. Only downside was having to leave the room to go to the bathroom or take a shower. Other than that it was good. Next to a bar was nice as well.

The price and location are great. The convineince of being able to store and cook food is also good, and it's always fun meeting people from around the world of course.
The hostel is right above a bar that played loud dance music until 3:00 a.m. Unless you are a night owl I don't recommend it for sleeping. It is also quite run down. The beds are comfy and the rooms perfectly fine, but the bathrooms are pretty grim with old peeling floors. Still, a bargain, and friendly staff.
