Great hostel option. You're staying in the UBC dorms with access to laundry, a kitchen with microwave, fridge, and hot water kettle. Location is extremely convenient. I also found it quiet and clean.

This property was perfect for the purpose of my visit; the location is convenient, the campus property is stunning, and all the amenities I needed were close by, e.g., transit, coffee shops. Thanks! Will recommend.

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.

Excellent Private Room for a Great Price

Nice private room, no air conditioning but you can ask to borrow a fan. I stayed in August and did not feel hot. Bathrooms were always clean and the hostel is a short bus ride away into the city. I would recommend doing laundry somewhere else otherwise there was a $10 CAD minimum to load the laundry card. Will come back!
