Our stay in the hostel itself was pretty good, no complaints. It sucked that the hostel was full when we tried to book a second night, but that was our fault. The BAR was amazing. Even after we checked out, we still came back here at night to hang out. By the second night the waitresses knew our names and... More

I stayed at the SameSun by myself in a private room. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. Bathrooms were cleaned constantly, and I never had a problem with wait times. They have a bar with nightly drink specials, and cheap food - also a nightly $4.95 dinner special. There's a free breakfast and organised activities, trivia nights,... More

We were booked into a private room for a few nights and after dragging our bags up all the stairs we found myself and my boyfriend had to share a room with 4 others. Luckily the guy on reception was able to change this and we had a private room. However we paid on arrival and the following day we... More

Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY IN A 6 BED DORM HERE. It cannot be legal. The room was so cramped, I swear prison cells are more roomy. For $28 a night you'd except more. For $1 more my friend and I switched to a 2 bed dorm at the Cambie (that place wasnt great either but it beat the... More

The private rooms and dorms are great, well set up, secure and cleaned every day. It's the things that happened outside of the rooms is where the problems exist with this hostel. We are a couple and have stayed at the Samesun Vancouver on Granville Street for the last 3 weeks with a few week stints before that in 4... More

It wasn't anything exceptional. I've seen nicer hostels and I've seen worse. I would stay here again without a doubt. We met some really cool fellow backpackers that we went out with. The staff was friendly. The food was OK. nothing special. if you want a 'good' meal, go out. but if you want a 'cheap' meal, then it's ok... More

Samesun has everything a backpackers hostel needs: good showers, a great common room, a nice bar and an atmosphere that makes it easy to meet fellow travellers. The bar downstairs serves a great complimentary breakfast and cheap meals in the evening. The daily programmes in the bar are a good way to meet groups over a couple of pints and... More

Since I'm not 19 or 20 anymore, I thought that I would completely hate staying in a hostel. I was surprised to see people of all ages from all over the globe cooking, watching television, touring, and drinking together. The front desk staff was available 27/7 for anything from directions to clean towels. The location was right in the heart... More

This hostel is party central but I guess knew that going there. After a 4 day stay it became rather familiar and homey. It's in a great location if you want someplace in central Vancouver. It's only about 5 blocks to the skytrain station and about two blocks to the great art museum. There's a decent pizza and pasta place... More
