Check-in 5pm is really late.

The chek in hours are a little odd, 'cause they close the office from 12pm to 5pm, so if you arrive between those hours bring your own padlock and try to find someone from the staff and ask if you could use the "day lockers" to store your things in the meantime

Very nice and cozy hostel located at the end of Tofino town.... great atmosfere and the staff was great. There are a lot of facilities and very clean

The mixed dormitories are exactly what you'd expect of an HI hostel. Beds aren't terribly comfortable, people are coming and going, but that's par for the course at this price point.

Common areas were very pretty, kitchen was spacious, quiet hours were carefully observed. Neither here nor there, but even in January the place was crawling with surfers

Stayed in January 2024

people were doing a lot of noise after 10-11pm, and the walls aren’t soundproof.

The place is beautiful, and everything was clean.

It's a hostel, not really a "Guest House". Once you get past that, it's fine. Price was high for the accommodation received but I guess that's Tofino.

Communal kitchen is very convenient and well equipped. Five star view from the dining area. The beds are quite comfortable. Shared washroom facilities weren't overcrowded apart from the Women's at peak times

Room was extremely expensive for being a hostel. I paid $550 for one night and the room only had beds and a bathroom which is quite expensive for the limited amenities

Anyone driving just needs to be aware that they will charge you to park your car here, and they were quite adamant that everyone had to have their own designated parking space so we all had to play musical cars on day one. We booked this accommodation with the impression that it was a guest house but it was more of a hostel. We were extremely surprised to find out that there were only a couple of other travellers staying as the accommodation was mostly booked up with a school group- and we thought our school days were over 10 years ago! Although they were relatively well behaved they seemed mostly unsupervised and did make some noise in the evenings/early morning. Customer service wasn't the best as the lady on check out was quite rude to us and we also witnessed her being rude to another member of staff.

Whalers on the point is in a great location, within walking distance to everything you need and a short drive to local beaches. The room was comfortable and there was a fully equipped kitchen with everything you needed and you could enjoy your breakfast in the morning overlooking the beautiful bay.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

The location is superb, accommodations were cheap and cheerful, staff had their stuff together. As a broke university student, I give whalers on the point 10 outta 10. Keep it 100 guys, COME VISIT TOFINO!

Is far away from the beaches if you don't a car. But if you rent a bike you can make it to the beaches.

The place and the facilities. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the views were nice.

It all started with a lie in the description. We booked "Suite" for a family - two adults, one child. What do you imagine when you read "Private bathroom, Toilet"? Well, yes, after hundreds of hotels, you imagine an ordinary bathroom with a toilet. The bathroom may have a shower, it may have a bath, it doesn't matter. But you look forward to having a private shower in the morning. In this "guesthouse" it means "toilet with sink". No more. For three we paid $215 per night. We have stayed in many places in Canada and this is a good hotel value. And if you lie in the description, that's a problem. Already after the reservation, you are bombarded with a large number of messages. Fill out this form, then this one, then read more covid information (haven't calmed down with covid yet?). A lot about big fines for noise, heavy alcohol, for something else ... The main thing is that the word "hostel" appears in these descriptions. Maybe this is the answer to the question - why can't you spend a miserable $500 and equip a shower in a fairly large toilet? Is it the law of the genre that hostel visitors have to suffer? Next - savings on everything. Two beds, a chair, and two rough waist-length wardrobes without a single shelf. It's all. Everything looks like a cell is being made in a prison. You didn't even think to spend $0.5 and nail simple coat hooks. Yes, we should hang clothes on the bed, throw them on a chair, we can put them on the floor. After all, this is a hostel. Yes, for $215 (low season). Students should not be concerned about such trifles as hangers. After all, you allow drinking beer, why do we need a shower and hangers? Everything else is more or less normal. Hostel staff (kitchen, refrigerator, hall, backyard) - everything is present. There is parking. But we went to rest with the family. And I didn't really enjoy taking my son to the shared shower every morning.

I rarely write reviews, but I had to write this one. Very little value for your money. Hostel staff (kitchen, refrigerator, hall, backyard) - everything is present. There is parking. Read about the rest below.
