So I booked into Samesun following rave reviews across various public forums. Was I disappointed? Yes and No! I'm not sure whether thats because my expectations had been built up to an unattainable level, or whether it was something about Vancouver itself. Anyway, the hostel itself was good and the staff were excellent. The breakfast in the morning is second... More

I'm impressed with this hostel, for the budget backpacker or even holidaymaker this is a great place to stay, if you're on a budget. There's the free breakfast (toast, bagels, muffins, orange juice plus spreads) and free wireless, it's location is very much in the middle of downtown and just a 10 minute walk from a Skytrain stop or seconds...

This place is great for people traveling on a budget - they provide free breakfast, a $5 dinner special every night (small serves but you can't really complain for 5 bucks) and some reasonable drink specials. To be honest the rooms are pretty average... We stayed in a 6 person dorm and there wasn't enough floor or locker space to... More

Average about sums it up. Unfortunately there really isn't a good hostel in the centre of Vancouver, and until one open up this one will do. People say it is overpriced however if you look around Vancouver I'm afraid this is a pretty average price for a hostel, you have to be realistic Vancouver is an expensive city. It has... More

The place couldn't be more well located, in the middle of downtown, you almost don't need public transport for anything. The breakfast is really good for hostel standards. It's great if you're staying by yourself, because of the common area. It's big with a good kitchen, pool table,tv room, and sits all around, making it easy to enroll yourself at... More

I first stayed here when I first arrived in Vancouver, throughly enjoyed this hostel. Yeah, its a LITTLE rough around the edges, but it is a BACKPACKERS not a hotel. All i look for in a backpackers is a CLEAN bed, CLEAN bathroom and helpful staff. SameSun provides this and MUCH MUCH more. Not only providing a great kitchen and... More

Stayed here for a few nights while we were in Vancouver. We had a twin room. Room was simple but had everything you could need. Unfortunately they don't enforce the 'not washing after 11' so often we were kept up till after 12 by the noisy washer/driers. Breakfast is good and it is close to a lot if attractions.

The owner needs to have a look and see how their guests are get treated and watch how the staff clean the rooms, THEY DON'T, besides pushing around a vacuum at the entry of the door. Mattresses are terrible. Only good thing is the free stale breakfast and location. Not worth $30 a night though, that's for sure. Not happy!

I stay here whenever I go to van. One of the best backpackers I've stayed in. Friendly staff n friendly travellers. I've always made friends wen staying here. Cool bar downstairs too. Its a little run down but that's the only downside. Great location
