Hostels in British Columbia, Canada

You can reserve Cambie Hostel Gastown online (recommended, about $29/night, w/small deposit about 15%) I am a Travel Advisor, traveling and booking travel is my job. I book 4 and 5 Star hotels, cruises, land tours and more, but found when I go on a cruise to Alaska and starting my cruise in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada l like hanging out downtown Vancouver. Vancouver is beautiful, lots to do, and Cambie Hostel Gastown is close to the cruise port (walking distance, with 1 rolling luggage, about 5 blocks), safe, with great bars and restaurants. If you take Greyhound, the bus station is a block from the rail (2 bucks for seniors, I am 65), go north towards Cambie Hostel Gastown, at stop walk about 5-6 blocks (or take taxi). Once you are there, make sure your credit card was cleared with bank (call ahead and let them know you are traveling abroad, if required), pay, get keys, drop bags in room, then go out and enjoy all that Vancouver has to offer. Cambie Hostel is attached to a bar, party on, with young travelers from all around the world, so enjoy interacting with them during your stay. I am going back in 3 wks for another Alaska cruise. Book a cruise and come to Cambie Hostel Gastown in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, great and fun hostel. Bennett Kienholz JOY LANE TRAVEL joylanetravel.com

6/8/2022 One star is indeed too much for the below. Pls take into consideration what I am writing here. It took me ages to book online my future stay in Vancouver with that mediocre hostel through first Hostelworld and later directly online with the hostel itself. A real nightmare! Now, I am spending additional time to make sure I post negative reviews online but I am glad to do it. I can assure you that Cambie downtown Seymour hostel is not a reliable, trustworthy hostel you can rely on. Early April, knowing that Canada is busy in spring, autumn and summer, I started doing my homework and booked my stay with Hostelworld. Since then, I did not finish being on the phone and computer correcting booking issues with the hostel staff. First, Hostelworld booking # did not match the hostel one. OK it was corrected. Second, the bookings which followed were cancelled by the hostel without my authorization and they blamed me and Hostelworld. Third, the hostel manager called Victor begged me to cancel the Hostelworld ones and keep his bookings performed directly online with the hostel instead. I did it. And now after all those acrobatics back and forth, Victor has the nerve to cancel them. What a disgrace! I was stunned. FYI, his staff working is rude, impatient and lack of courtesy customer service when I took myself the time to call from USA and confirm my bookings. I was paying the phone calls. It was a real nightmare. Now, I just booked somewhere else. Yes, online Seymour is the cheapest but cheap is expensive. I wasted 2 months and now, today, in June I got a cancellation email from Victor. Unfair not ethical professional business attitude from that hostel! I wish to make sure you all know about it and book somewhere else where it is guaranteed you will have a place where to stay. Anyway, if you decide to book with that hostel, make sure you confirm your booking because what you paid and book might be not what you get. Coming from Canada, it is very strange but unfortunately the staff is not originally from that country. That is why they behave that way. I am a world traveler and never had such nasty, mediocre, and poor level experience. I booked my stay with Edmonton, Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Gasper and Tofino within a couple of seconds without going through that ordeal/nightmare. I did not deserve such treatment. The hostel messed with all my bookings. I can write a book. I won't recommend that hostel to my best friends.

Excellent hostel right in the midst of Victoria. A short walk to the harbor and Chinatown. Super duper value. Free sumptuous breakfast (cheese, olives, tuna, hard boiled eggs, jam, butter, bread, waffles and blue berries) and free dinner!

The rooms are a bit outdated, kitchen floor was very dirty, bathroom floor could have been cleaner. I asked and they cleaned it for us the next day. The staff are amazing we stayed in a 1 bedroom suite and it was great all kinds of space and great outdoor space with table and chairs with umbrella's and 2 BBQ's. Sad the pool is not working hpefully it will be the next time we go. There is another pool you can go to a couple blocks away at their sister motel. We will stay here agian. The breakfast was good!

Location is fine, depending on where you want to go. The bus stop is just few steps away from the house. There is a church nearby. Opposite the house you can find a low-rise apartment. The house and the room I stay are very clean and comfortable. The landlady is friendly and helpful. I feel safe. All the services and amenities listed in Trip.Com are available. It would be much more better if the specific address is listed in Trip.com for the convenience of booking. Responses are considered quick and efficient. Recommended for single female travelers, if you are unsure of having homestay.

A port in a storm Friendly service and clean rooms

Location is neutral, as there is not much around to see or eat. From the outside, it looks dated as well, but you'll be surprised once you step inside. It is exceptionally well-maintained and clean. Breakfast room even has a pool table for your enjoyment. If you have a car, this is a great place to stay.

The room is amazingly clean. The 2 double beds and pillows are very comfortable. However, the single bed is sagging and made a lot of noise when you turn. Price is very reasonable. The bathroom fan is very weak. The Motel’s restaurant, the Hideout Cafe, only opens at 8:00 am which I think is a bit late for travellers. If bathroom fan and restaurant open hours can improve, this is overall a very good motel.

We found this place not long after we got off the ferry at Departure Bay, Nanaimo , on the island, in Parksville . We didn't have a reservation, so my husband just went in and asked if they had a room. They did have one reasonably priced, so we took it for the night. Thanks for the popcorn ! We were also able to have our 2 little dogs there, which was great ! When we got in the room, I tried to turn the ac on, but it smelled dusty, so I shut it off. There wasn't any cover or filter on it, and it was dusty inside of it, so I left it off. We were only staying one night, so it was no big deal and wasn't too hot. Later thay evening we decided to see if we could get the room for another night and we were able to get the same room. It was, however, warmer the next night, so it would have been nice to put it on. The parking is free and well lit. There was a path close by to go down to the beach and a nice outdoor sitting area at the Inn. There is also an amusement place right next door with mimi golf, bumper boats, gelato, as well as other food. The room was clean with a table and chairs, a fridge, and a sm freezer and close to the departure bay ferry terminal. I would stay again if I got a room with working ac.

The service at the front desk is very friendly. There are vending machines where you can buy snacks. The heating in the room is sufficient. The toilet and room are also clean. The transportation is also convenient. It is a 10-minute drive from downtown. The only downside is that no slippers are provided.

The location is average, it is a bit noisy to keep the road. Hotel facilities are relatively simple, air conditioning is not easy to use. Breakfast is free, but only juice and bread are too shabby.

The employees were very pleasant and friendly…….however there were dirty streaks of fingerprints on the bathroom door, dried milk stains on the chair and a dirty streak on the window. There were only two pillows on the bed, no coffee maker, no coffee, no iron, and no extra blankets. We stayed for two nights, reserved 3 weeks before. We were placed in a room by the front door, there was a lot of noise outside the entrance late at night so didn’t get a lot of sleep. When we asked to be moved for the second night we were told there were other reservations and it would be more work for housekeeping. We were offered a room two doors down which would have been no quieter. The ice machine was broken, the television was so small that it couldn’t be seen from the bed. Perhaps if it was mounted on the wall instead of on the low table it would have been better. There also seems to be a hiccup between the government website and their records because I had to argue for the government employee discount. Overall an unpleasant stay

Room was clean and quiet, bed was conformable, A/C worked great, had a fridge and microwave in room, and an elevator. The front office staff were helpful and kind.

Very good, there are Chinese-speaking staff, you can contact us via WeChat, and you can pay with PayPal or credit card. Clean and tidy, the yard is quiet. Peaceful.

Eclectic old-fashioned motor hotel in a central location. Clean rooms, nostalgic architecture and decor, comfortable beds, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well priced and accessible. This motel has a colourful history of movie and TV shows filmed there: check Google and the collection of photos in the lobby! It even has its own jigsaw puzzle (a hard one)! There was a lovely playful dog across the fence outside the kitchen door. We spent a night here on the way to a special occasion and will definitely be back.

Hotel location is convenient, the environment is good nearby. Although there is noise, other facilities have been updated Most of the time it's quiet. The price is reasonable, except for the hotel, it is worth recommending

A port in a storm Friendly service and clean rooms

The Oasis Inn motel is located in an excellent location in Kelowna with an outdoor pool The motel was so clean and well maintained with very hard working staff daily cleaning the pool and parking lot as well. The staff were all so friendly, caring and helpful. I will make this my stay of choice any time I have reason to go to Kelowna. Thank you to the owner and staff for all your help.

Loved it !!! Best location good easy check in and check out !! Never had to go to front desk due to the amazing information in side the lobby and room about hotel . Will be back :)

We spent one night here enroute to visiting friends and we were pleasantly surprised. the rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. We asked for a room at the back of the hotel away from the freeway noise and it was very quiet. The ladies at the front desk were very pleasant. Great location across the street from shops, liquor store, restaurants. Would stay here again and recommend

Was in an ensuite room. Don't believe the pictures, zero correlation. Small, very small, dark, not too clean and extremely old. Window was propped open with a piece of wood. Curtain doesn't really cover the window. Next to a busy main road, you can hear cars all night. No storage space at all. Small-screen TV with a couple of grainy channels. Wifi worked well. Parking is limited, the lot was full a couple of times and I had to find street parking elsewhere. Location is not bad, walking distance to the waterfront area. The place has a very large kitchen, which is surprisingly well equipped. Was always busy, and unfortunately the smell of cooking (lots of frying) permeates everywhere. I did some laundry and a brief spell in the drier was enough to have everything smell of burnt meat. Although the place is very cheap, I don't think I'll return.

It is a motel feeling, convenient transportation, just on the edge of the highway, a small two-story building, ample parking, and a deposit of 300 Canadian dollars when you check in, this is the first time you have encountered.

There is no free breakfast, there is a kitchen where you can cook your own food. Suitable for children, there are a variety of room types to choose from. The hostel is in the city center and has a parking lot. The yard is very nice, with walnut trees over 80 years old
