I look forward to staying in hostels when I travel because its a great way to meet new people, and in turn this gets you out of the hostel to make the most of the nightlife etc. However, this hostel didnt seem to do very many events and those they did were mainly limited to staying in the hostel common... more

I found this to be a great hostel. It's not the most amazing place in the world, but it is the cheapest stay in Vancouver. I would recommend this hostel if you are backpacking or enjoy a no-frills stay. Breakfast was great and so were the people. I was surprised to find they have a tv room, pool table, foozball... more

This Hostel was very ordinary. Double room didn't have an ensuite and was right across the hall from the male toilets. Our bed had bed bugs!!!!! Plus there were too many stairs. more

My boyfriend and I, are used to youth hostels, but the SameSun in Vancouver was one of the worst we ever done in all our trips. It's not very clean and the sheets were so stinky and dirty.... The people are not very respectful ,they kept talking all night in the hall and that even if you tell them nicely... more

I stayed here three days (because I had reserved for three days and couldn't cancel the reservation without losing money). The sheets were a dingy gray, the shower was stopped up with hair, and there were little critters roaming about. Save up your money for the YWCA or find a place through airbnb. This was not a happy place. Also,... more

Want a place in Vancouver that is centrally located, cheap and on the skytrain line? Choose Samesun. PROS: Location, plenty of backpackers from all over, in the middle of nightlife, cost of room CONS: Free bkfast consists of toast and juice, mattresses are quite thin (bring an extra pillow), hallways smell like B.O., pretty hard to meet people who are... more

The guy who checked us in after our long flight from Oz via a stopover in LA was rude, uninterested and full of himself. My husband and I paid for a private room and that was all it was a room with a bed...and very little space with a need for some renovating. A TINY common area and only 1... more

The place was in the centre Vancouver. The staff were very helpful and could answer any questionsi had. The satff was a mix of locals and from all around the world, so I felt very at home. I really enjoyed the bar, the food is cheap and the drinks the same. All in all I would love too go back... more

We originally wanted to stay at HI Central or Downtown but there was no opening, so we booked our entire stay at HI Jericho Beach. The location is definitely great, so if you can't find a bed, definitely check both the HI Central and SameSun. The Jericho beach location was too inconvenient for enjoying downtown, so we tried to find... more

Arrived at this hostel after a long flight from Melbourne. The staff on the front desk were rude and not helpful at all!! Checked in to my room and it was a disgrace, they basically have no time limit on how long people can stay for, the room i stayed in, one of the girls had been living there for... more
