    Great location, close to plenty of restaurants and to the main bus route to downtown. I have missed the breakfast. That can be slightly loger perhaps till 10:00am? Also very close to English Bay beach and to the ferry to Granville Island.

    I liked that they had free breakfast, and the rooms had storage for each bed underneath the beds.

    Probably the best hostel to stay in if you're visiting Vancouver. Well situated, friendly staff, good facilities and not too noisy. Would stay again.
