Close to everything and small lounge with kitchen on first floor. Was noisy though! You must wear ear plugs or noise canceling airpoda if you want to sleep properly! You literally hear everything around!

I booked a same-gender bunk bed room and, to my surprise, had the room to myself for five out of the six nights. Although the room was very small, it was well-designed, with thoughtful storage and convenient plug-ins—which I especially appreciated having all to myself. Everything worked well, the space felt safe and quiet, and the staff were friendly.

Loud and not as advertised

Private room in a hostel but it appeared to have a bathroom, which it did not - had to go down the hall, which is fine but not at this price and when it says 'with bathroom'. Then on night 2 it was kareoke night at the bar below. I could literally sing along from my bed at full volume, if the singers weren't so bad. Sorry.

When we arrived the young gentleman booked us in was very friendly and helpful. We walked into our room and it was very spacious. The room was very cool. There is not head control in the room. The hallways were so warm that you were instantly sweating. We had booked the Suit. It had, what we believe, was a queen bed. It was the firmest beds I have every come across but it was good to sleep on. We had 4 large comfy pillows and the duvet, even though was very slim and light, was extremely warm. The one wall had a full bench with cushions and a window we could open for fresh air. We had some goodies in the room; 2 bottles of water, 2 bottles of coke, and 4 packages of coffee. The room came with a little broken lamp above the coffee area. There was a small fridge for convenience; we utilized it. There was a kettle that we used for coffee and soup. The room also came with 2 hand towels; bring your own wash cloth and larger towel for the showers. The bathroom was down the hallway near the door to the stairs. The keys were very sticky to get the door unlocked to use the facilities. The ladies bathroom had 2 toilet stalls and 2 very skinning shower stalls. We did not use the shower as we were there for such a short time. The kitchen offered much if you has your own food. The kitchen was full of pots/pans/plates/etc. that you would need to prepare and enjoy food The booking site was very unclear and I thought I had booked a room that offered its own private bathroom which was wrong.

Definitely Book This Place!

We happened upon the Cambie Hostel because two VRBO hosts canceled on us, on the biggest weekend in Vancouver's history-the Taylor Swift Era's tour FINAL stop. We never stayed at a hostel before and were a bit apprehensive. We were SO lucky and SO pleased that a room opened up at the Cambie! The front desk hosts were always pleasant. The room was spotless and so comfy. Everything we needed was within walking distance to the hostel. BEST SPOT EVER!!! Malone's was a terrific spot to eat at before seeing Taylor. The 515 Bar was one of the best bars we've ever been to-what an amazing vibe! Every single person we encountered in Vancouver was so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!
