Carrying cases up stairs was quite hard

Location

Stayed in August 2024

There is only one bathroom with two sink and two shower in the floor. The place is to old and it’s not well maintained There is a pub/bar downstairs and the music is too loud at nights (I mean there is not good sound insulation) The beds don’t have curtains so when the light is turn on it bothers The plugs were far from the beds

The staff was kind and friendly The location was good There were places to eat near the place

Cost could have been a little more reasonable

Good for my needs

The size of personal space, cleanliness of kitchen. Inability to drink in the rooms or kitchen, and not enough room in the bathroom to properly shower or get ready.

Location and price

Stayed in September 2024

The room fee seemed much too high for a bed sized room with no bathroom or AC. There was a restaurant/bar 2 floor below my room playing loud music until 2 am.

Location. Very close to convention I was attending, plus the neighborhood had some reasonably priced places to eat. The room was reasonably clean, and the shared bathroom facilities were very clean.

The common area and room are clean. Located above a bar so if you've got sensitive sleep ask for a room 2xx Old, well located building in the best possible area to start exploring Vancouver. Laundromat, shower nice people at a price that is hard to find in this city. Kudos to Cambie for making Gasworks accessible to a traveler on a budget.

I saw a mouse and a guest was having sex in the room and waking up the other guests.

N/A

Stayed in September 2024

- The price $ was a little expensive for what it provided. - The bunk beds being connected to each other & no privacy whatsoever. (Eg. Having blinds would help). - There's no room in the shower block to properly get changed or leave your clothes. - Showers next to toilets wasn't the best idea.

The location & vibe of the place. Being next to the pub gave it an overall community feel.

Could have more outlets in rooms and some personal lights for the beds.

Hostel has all the basics you need. Don't expect anything fancy

The bathrooms are very cramped but are tolerable for shorter stays.

I really liked the other guests staying at the hostel and Felix running the social events is lovely. Staff were super helpful and accommodating.

I didn’t like Bathrooms. It’s not attached with room. Only 3 showers per floor.

Comfort

Stayed in August 2024

The old building could use some renovation and bathrooms need some upgrades.

Great people work in the service, a lot of activities offered inside and outside of the facility. There's place to go for food or drinks downstairs. It's easy to make friends as there are many nice people visiting.

Hallway floors are in really bad condition, seemed dangerous

I didn’t have breakfast, staff made no mention of breakfast

The room in the hostel was old, but comfortable and the location is spot on. If you want to stay in downtown close to all attractions and amenities, then this is the right choice. The hostel connects you with the city and the locations can't be beat.

The bathroom is too small and there is only 1 area.

Very nice. Good kitchen area. Close to everything, shops, trasportation and sights.

On the 2nd floor the room temperature was very warm (Travelmonth: July). There is a fan that is suppose to provide relieve. Yet that thing is loud. You need earplugs or you are just dead tired to fall asleep. There is always party going on downstairs. That is good and bad. Bad if you just want to sleep. The floor is wooden, I got a splinter in the foot, when I walked around. Well, I guess thats my fault. The Bathrooms dont leave room for privacy. The place doesn't except cash. If your credit card gets blocked or whatever you can't pay your room.

The Place (rooms, bathrooms, floor) is clean, The rooms are spacious ( I stayed in 2 different rooms) The beds are comfortable There is a big cage for your stuff to lock it up. 20 kg backpack had space in that thing. Everyday Party downstairs is great. Thats a good and a bad thing. Good if you dont need sleep and wanna party. Its a short way from the trainstation to the Hostel. That in itself is the biggest selling point for me. I just can't go and find a different place if Im jetlacked. The Kitchen is good and the space to hang out with other backpackers is comfortable.

Sharing the washrooms and sleeping on a bunk bed, they should invest in new beds.

The Building is aging and dilapidated. Some of the window panes are missing, and the washrooms are shared.

Stayed in August 2024

The washroom facilities were very tight and small, and awkward to use. Little that can be done about it, and not the end of the world, but would expect a little better for the price. Without any air-conditioning I can imagine it could get very hot, I was warm though the fan was appreciated but needed the window open which contributed to the noise of the karaoke and other music pretty late.

On the whole the staff were helpful and accommodating. The location was very handy as was the bar

Smell in the room was terrible

Check-in and staff was excellent!

The bar with loud music was hard to sleep, the plugs in the rooms were unstable and were hard to recharge cellphone, the showers had no compartments to put items,

The location and staff and the lounge room.

Stayed in July 2024

Is loud at night as it’s right above the bar/nightclub. For the cheap accommodation it’s not a huge deal, just bring ear plugs and some melatonin for a good sleep. Showers need more space to be able to change before and after your shower.

Right in the heart of gastown, easy to get to many places. Was just a couple blocks from the concert I was there for. Nice kitchen/lounge area to chill when people in your room are sleeping.
