2-Star Hotels in Vancouver

I don’t have high requirements for youth hostels, but the health, service, and environment are really average. It can only be said that it is liveable, cheap and not too demanding. It is very expensive to stay in the city center.

I chose this hostel due to its fantastic location. It is literally nestled a stone's throw away from everything, including major landmarks, restaurants, and transport options. The 4-bed shared room was small and divided into even smaller individual sections. However, it was clean, and the beds were comfortable, though they lacked private reading lights, power sockets, and privacy curtains. The bathroom was also clean and featured great rain showers. No breakfast is provided, but there is an on-site bar where guests get a 20% discount. Alternatively, you can use the communal kitchen to prepare your own meals, and there is free fresh coffee available all day.

This hostel is amazing in terms of location and price. There's a big bar right downstairs with events happening almost every day. The hostel itself has a very friendly vibe; you can find leftover food from other guests, and there's a large common area where you can easily connect with other travelers. Heading down to the bar from there is a classic move. In fact, I hit it off with a South Korean traveler and a Canadian from Ottawa and had a blast for an entire evening.

Great location and price for downtown vancouver - accomodation is a bit dated but you get what you pay for

The hotel did not provide breakfast. There is a safeway nearby. It is open until 11 pm. It takes 15 minutes to walk from the subway station. There is an underground car park. There is also a bus to the city.
