Basic and Hot
Small room, bed somewhat comfortable. Building and rooms are clean. Reception staff polite, courteous and efficient. Wish there was a hair dryer. Be aware rooms have no AC - my room was like a sauna upon check in. Opening window helps a bit but still so warm my chocolate bar melted!
Put on your walking shoes! You need a car or else it's a 15 minute walk to the bus terminal at UBC. Very Spartan room with no conveniences which are shared but clean. Bring some breakfast food as the campus restaurants don't open until 8am. There are plenty of buses but you need an hour to get into the city. Early risers can use the 24 hour McDonald's on campus but an18 minute walk away. There are many great walking and biking paths in and around the city.ppp
This an affordable option for a short stay. The university grounds are beautiful. Very easy to access Wreck Beach and city buses. Tons of hot water available. Kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave in the kitchen. Lots of restaurants, yoga studio, gym close by. However the markets are very expensive so you’ll want to pick up any groceries at a proper grocery store.
I needed affordable, long term, on campus to be close to classes, and it was so enjoyable. The property checked off all my needs, and because of that I did not leave the property on weekends for hotels because it was the quiet serenity where I was. 10/10.
Great stay at the university student residence halls while the university is closed for the summer. The room had everything you would need. A comfy bed, good towels and a decent amount of space too. The showers are shared but split into women / men only by floors. Good hot water and water pressure. Kitchen was useful if you needed to heat something or make tea/coffee etc.
The campus is stunning and close to Wreck Beach which is worth a trip for sunset. Incredibly good value for money. Would stay again if came at the same time of year.
I personally like its proximity to the beach, and it being at UBC meant more secluded and quieter space, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
Amenities were really nice, though they ran out of hand soap in 2 of their sinks in the washroom. Common dining hall is quite small.
Good area, easy access, front desk staff present and helpful

Smell really bad
The service and location are good. The room is not bad - unless the smell. Feels like the room was moldy, the smell was so strong, uncomfortable to stay inside and sleep.
