It’s a student residence. Cheapest and safest option in the city if you’re cool with that. Expect a lot of walking, a lot of stairs and limited dining spots if you’re unwilling to walk more than a kilometre.

This an affordable option for a short stay. The university grounds are beautiful. Very easy to access Wreck Beach and city buses. Tons of hot water available. Kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave in the kitchen. Lots of restaurants, yoga studio, gym close by. However the markets are very expensive so you’ll want to pick up any groceries at a proper grocery store.

I needed affordable, long term, on campus to be close to classes, and it was so enjoyable. The property checked off all my needs, and because of that I did not leave the property on weekends for hotels because it was the quiet serenity where I was. 10/10.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was a very quiet and relaxing environment, and the room, shared bathroom, kitchen, etc. were very clean. It's understandable that the facilities are getting old, but the lock on the entrance door to the room I stayed in was very stiff, and I had trouble opening it , so I think this needs to be improved.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I personally like its proximity to the beach, and it being at UBC meant more secluded and quieter space, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Amenities were really nice, though they ran out of hand soap in 2 of their sinks in the washroom. Common dining hall is quite small.
