Amazing cultural experience. There's a popping bar downstairs too, so you don't have a far way back after a few drinks! It's centrally located, near trains and buses, if you do go further. Roberto at the front desk is a real sweetheart; he's there to help with anything you'll need. Even if it's just to chat, or lock yourself out like I did. The hotel cats are sooo cute and nice to play with. The kitties really make Cambie feel like home! I can't wait to see them again!

It was alright, obviously you get what you pay for, I didn't like that there was a separate fee to rent a towel. Also had to buy a lock. There wasn't too much noise except when there was karaoke one night but I was far enough away from it that it wasn't too disturbing when I was trying to sleep. I only had 1 other person in my 4 person room the entire 3 night stay. It's very close to the things I wanted to do.

Very conveniently located. Facility is an old hotel with creepy and uneven floors - depending on your POV adds character or just old. I only stayed a couple nights and it was perfect for taking the bus to hike in the mountains.

The Cambie Hostel in Gastown offers what travelers on a budget are looking for: a safe, warm place to sleep, a hot shower, a place to store/cook food & eat, laundry facilities, a couch to lounge on. Its proximity to the Skytrain/downtown are the trade-off for bar's loud music & old building. I think it's well worth it. I would suggest visitors bring earplugs & an open mind. It's not a hotel and it doesn't claim to be - it's an affordable, safe way to visit an amazing city.

Great location, and polite staff. Unfortunately, it can get noisy if theres any special event at the bar downstairs, and you might struggle sleeping. Just be aware of that. Other than that, bed was confortable, staff was friendly.
