The Cambie Hostel Gastown

What a ********.. It seemed to be the cheapest option in the area yet in comparison to say Asia it’s still hella pricey for a hostel. The Area itself is central however it’s super rough these days. Drugzombies and all sorts of other specimen around, felt super unsafe even as a “bigger” male as myself. The 4 person room has no A/C and even with the window open there is zero airflow, it was like sleeping in a Sauna. There are no privacy curtains, and I was afraid the bed will collapse at any moment. There is nowhere to put your stuff other than the floor. There are 3 male showers and toilets for an entire floor of at least 40 rooms. I booked 4 nights, checked out after 1 and paid money for a decent hotel in a better area. Would not stay here again ever. Props to the staff though, they were very nice and helpful. The bar underneath has good food and drink specials and it’s a place for young people to party and have fun. For that I would go back..!

It’s a special hostel! The sleep time follows with the pub’s music ! If your food don’t mark your rm # and name, it will be thrown away soon!

The hostel is in the great location but it's hard to sleep because of the loud noisy music of the bar at the same hostel.

Awesome place to find new people who are travelling as well!

Good for solo traveling, has a bar and a cat , very good location

Come dock Rockford discos floor flocking forgive forcing officials

It was a thrilling experience, would try it again by myself. At least the night club scene ended around 2am so that I can get some good quality sleep.

The transportation is convenient, but there is a bar downstairs, and the sound insulation is not good. People who are afraid of noise may not be able to sleep. There are only stairs and you need to carry your luggage upstairs.

Although the room is noisy because there is a pub on the ground floor, it is not a problem because the location is very strategic for solo travelers.
