Not a bad hostel but when there are no locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors you have to hope/trust no one to go in your room. More

Private rooms we stayed in are in a basement. Mens dorm rooms surround the room. TV blares until 10pm. Walls paper thin. Then there's the odour, first amonia smell of some hospital grade cleaning products, then the foul smell of a dirty cramped space. Bed is old and thin sheets. Its winter, the room is freezing and there's a thin... More

My girlfriend and I decided to stay here while we went skiing in Revelstoke. Upon entering the door there was a distinct odor that was just off. It smelt a tad moldy and seemed to be poorly kept. The person working at the front desk did not really seem to have the best customer relation skills. When we were given... More

I have stayed in many hostels and this is by far the worst. The lonely planet review of this place is very misleading. The walls are paper thin-getting sleep is impossible, the rooms are very cramped, the staff have no idea what's going on, nothing is secure!!!! Anyone could walk through the hostel and into your room at anytime!! Thats... More

Stay away from this filthy place. I booked a week on line thinking how much I saved on accommodation. When I arrived, I was horrified. Filth was everywhere, the house itself was in stage of advanced delapidation, the kitchen was beyond filthy, and the rooms were so crampped, and there was no locker to lock my luggage despite their website...

The shabbily appointed rooms have paper thin walls...we were forced to listen to one of the staff complain bitterly about her co-workers and then subjected to the noise of her copulation. To make it all worse, a pool table on the second floor was directly above our bed and the sounds of crashing balls did little to ease our weary... More

We spent two nights here in a private room and one night would have been enough frankly. The first thing that hits you with this place is the smell. It reminds you of stepping into a retirement home that hasn't been cleaned. Our room was tiny, the bed old and small and there is hardly any ventilation. We stayed in... More
