(Downtown)
 "It is dirty, yes, but you'll get nothing cheaper in the whole of Vancouver, and you'll meet so many young people there from all over the world that it is incredible to believe. The owner and the staff are great; they take care of you and your problems. They've got a free TV room, a big kitchen and a wonderful pool table. And there are friends you can make there. So I stayed there 10 days in...
(Jericho Beach)
 "I stopped at a downtown hostel right in the heart of Vancouver -- but it was too crowded and only had 3 parking spaces. So I found the Jericho Beach Hostel. It had plenty of parking -- not free though. It was a big place, busy, but not uncomfortable. An hourly bus took hostellers into the city. Not a bad place. I'd go back." … "I stayed there 2 times til now. It is one of the...
(Downtown)
 "The HI - Vancouver Central is an excellent choice if you want to stay in the city amongst all the action. You'll find everything you need at this friendly hostel including a free and delicious breakfast consisting of pastry, cereal, coffee/tea, and juice to start your day (which is served between 8 and 9 a.m.). The common areas, while not massive, are very well thought out. There is a...
(Gastown)
 "The Cambie Hostel in Gastown offers a central location and a loud party atmosphere evenings, sometimes continuing until two in the morning. Its best feature is the large pub with a good bar tapping a number of beers at reasonable prices. Getting there is easiest from the Waterfront Skytrain ans Seabus station; walk out between the pillars, cross the street and head east for two blocks....
(Gastown)
 "The Grand Trunk Hostel is located in Gastown in downtown Vancouver on 55 Powell Street. If you are arriving by bus or train, you can take a taxi from the station or hop on the sky train. If arriving by air, you can take the Airporter Shuttle Bus and get off at the Water Front Hotel, then walk east for about five minutes. The Grand Trunk Hostel offers dormitories, singles, doubles, twins,...
(University of British Columbia)
 "Pacific Spirit is a seasonal hostel open May through the middle of August. The rooms are either with one bed or two, complete with bedding, desk and chair, solid doors with excellent locks, big mirrors, lots of closets, and they each have an opening window with a view. The common spaces on each floor have televisions, fridge, and microwave, and there are washers and dryers. Central toilets and...
(Downtown)
 "The SameSun Backpacker Lodge is located in downtown Vancouver and is central to many sights in the city. It is also directly across the street from an HI hostel. However, the lack of safe and available street parking is inconvenient for guests with cars. The hostel staff recommends that you park at a nearby Holiday Inn parking garage, but this option is very expensive. The common area of...
(Downtown Train Station)
 "The building is old, but the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly, helpful and nice. The hostel is centrally located. Everything is in walking distance. And the people are nice. The best is the free limo pick up from the airport." … "Great place. Very friendly and helpful staff. The location itself is a bit dodgey and I wouldn't walk outside on my own at night. Inside is a...
(Downtown)
 "Ok so maybe im a bit biased coz I stayed here for so long, but this hostel is really excellent. I stayed in all the hostels in vancouver and this is easily the best. I made some lifelong buddies here - thanks to its very close quarters/ in your face atmosphere. The location is just next to the harbour tower and so is pretty full with tourists meaning it is safer than most other areas. The...
(Downtown Train Station)
 "There are two C&N hostels near the train station. This is the second one, and make sure you stay in this one. It is a block farther but nicer, cleaner and does not have a very crappy bar downstairs." … "It is overall a good hostel in a good location. It has cheap rates, and is very quiet." … "I was frightened by this hostel entirely. Although at a convenient location (right beside...
(Downtown)
 "The HI Vancouver Downtown is almost hostel heaven. It is a large, secure and friendly place filled with travellers from all over the globe. Amenities include a large, clean kitchen, library, movie/TV room and games room. Staff are helpful and the reception also contains a Travel Cuts office for those last-minute plan changes. A tasty breakfast is served every morning between 8-9.15am. The...

Vancouver Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Jonathan Sugerman
Vancouver is where the Canadian dream has gone to die. It is a dignified and peaceful sort of hospice, with nice views and good air, this much is true. It does not change the essential character of the place though -- depressing and too cool for school. There are moments of absolute end-of-the-line poverty punctuated by confusing ultra-wealth everywhere. Shallow beauty is the other theme. You would be a liar to deny the beauty, but it is the same sort of beauty a well-made assault rifle has.
Comment by Miles
Vancouver has got to be one of the best cities on earth. Too many people stop here for just a few days on the way to other places -- give yourself a little longer here and you won't want to leave. The best thing I did here was a speedboat trip up Indian Arm from Deep Cove on the North Shore -- get six other people interested and it works out at only $25 to $30 each including bus fare for three hours rental of a seven-man boat, plenty of time to get to the top and back with stops to look at stuff. Also make sure you climb up Grouse mountain, the views from the top are incredible and you can get a bus right to the bottom of the trail. It's quite a climb but I've seen everyone from five year old kids to grandparents climb up, and you can get the cable car back down for $5.
