Everything was alright, it was totally worthy for the price. However, there was a mouse in the kitchen and when I told the receptionist about it he told me there was nothing he could do about it. Besides this, I enjoyed my stay there and the staff was often pretty friendly.

Worst hostel experience ever. Would have got a better sleep back on the airplane. A super busy street filled with sirens, loud cars, honking, trucks every minute. Crackheads from 2-7am. A loud bar downstairs which is a feature of the place and I had food and drink there which was good, but again it keeps you up later. Rickety bunks. 4* bathroom upstairs, 2* floor 1. Cold unenthusiastic staff to "welcome you". First interactions outside immigration was the reception and was as miserable as the weather. Good access to other parts of town and stations gives its only star. I know it's an old building but a heat pipe right next to your bed unprotected to brush against constantly is just dangerous and keeps your room stuffy and unpleasant. I got about as much time sleeping as you would take to read this. Nightmare on Seymour St!

Great deal
The Cambie Hostel is conveniently located, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the other guests were friendly. I gave feedback about the stuffiness (the windows don’t open), and over-heated condition of the room. The gracious desk clerk said that she would pass along the feedback, and commented that since it is an older building, the heat is connected everywhere - including the bar downstairs. This means that turning the heat down for the dorms creates a chilly bar, and vice versa. The bunk bed wasn’t exciting, yet it and the pillow were adequate. The sheets were clean and didn’t have a strong fragrance. The shared bathroom was clean, and has been renovated to have modern fixtures and sensibility. All in all, it was a great value for a last minute change, and I would stay again if the circumstances required it. I would be sure to bring my personal mini-air filter, and maybe my travel sized diffuser.
