The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

The room was kind of messy and not completely clean. Cobwebs in the closet for example. Some of the bathrooms were better kept than others. Overall an okay place to stay short-term or if you do mind a messy area. Service was good and easy to communicate with.

The Backpacker house, is literally someone’s house. Beds were basically on the floor. We were told larger lockers would be in the dorm of sharing 5 people, there were no lockers in the room, they were all downstairs. I therefore spent more on the room for no benefit. You have to walk past some sketchy areas to get there. If you do not have a cell phone you cannot check in as it is done by text. Bathrooms were fine.

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.

Fantastic stay for what we needed. We felt safe with code locks on both front and room doors. Check in was easy and staff quick to respond. We didnt use the common areas much but the living room looked cozy and standard kitchen. Just what we needed for a place to crash after an event

Unfortunately, our experience staying at this property was highly disappointing. The cost of 344 CAD per night does not match the quality of the conditions. The room was in the basement with dusty floors, no hot water in the shower, and the shared shower and toilet were dirty. The noise insulation was so poor that every step from the tenants above was very loud. We also did not receive a positive response from the host to our inquiries. I do not recommend this place for staying.
