Stayed here a couple weeks ago. Came up a day early before heading out on a cruise to Alaska. Hostel is within walking distance to the downtown cruise terminal. Gastown is a decent area but there are a lot of homeless people who mostly look strung out on drugs within a few blocks. They concentrate in this area because there... More

I have never stayed in such an odd hostel. it seems the people that stay here are either working, studying, busking (one guy left everymorning with his accordian) or have been living here since 2009...4 years in a hostel is ridiculous! The kitchen is no where near big enough for people to cook and chill out area is tiny. reception... More

I pass through Vancouver a couple of time a year and I always visit this place. I love the pub downstairs, the food and especially the atmosphere. The accomodation was backpacker style...no complaints. I don't hang out in the rooms or upsatirs. I am usually down in the pub enjoying myself. Best pub in Van!

I managed to stay at all the major hostels in Vancouver for at least a couple of days and I would rate the Cambie Gastown the highest. It's a hostel so don't expect too much.. but the beds are comfy, good location, pub below with good cheap food and beer, good atmosphere and reasonably priced. Everything you'd want from a... More

Stayed there for one night to get my connection flight. Got 2 bedroom, bed was okay. One shower didn't work in the bath, kitchen was just on the other side of the street. Hostel is quiet near to Granville street which is closed down every weekend and a great place to go out there as well as Malone's right below... More

For people who doesn't know The Cambie, it's located right in downtown. You can't miss the opportunity to stay in a hostel for a couple of days while in Vancouver. You can go alone or with your family. Be aware that you have one bathroom per gender per floor (two floor in total) and the rooms may be small. Nonetheless... More

All of these reviews are REALLY misleading. When my girlfriend and I went here everything was great. The rooms were a great size, beds were awesome, nice and comfy, and no bug problems. Its very safe and secure to stay here. The bar downstairs is awesome and seems to be the place to go. You'll definitely be able to sleep... More

We booked here as it was one of the cheapest hostels in Vancouver but saying that was still $35 a night each incl tax! For $35 I would expect a luxury hostel but it's actually a bit of a dive! The 4 bed room was clean but to small we couldn't move! There was one ladies bathroom for whole floor... More

I spent 5 nights in this hostel and I have to say that it is in a great spot directly in downtown. Underneath the hostel accommodations is a big bar which is really cool and cheap to go to, but if you want to catch some sleep upstairs, it is really difficult because of all the noise. There is a...
