Great atmosphere! Tasty food at Cheaky's cafe - I really enjoyed listening to music in the lobby while I had my morning coffee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at thw HI Whistler. It's a very new hostel so everything was nice and clean, and it only takes a short bus ride to get up to whistler village! A+

Bunk beds were a bit squeaky, but other than that, all good!

I love staying at HI-Whistler! The staff is extremely courteous and, when I had trouble booking a room, they really went above and beyond to find me somewhere to stay. They saved my ski trip!

Staff contradicted each other - led to miscommunication and disappointment.

everything about the hostel was great. there was a night where i needed another bedroom and the hostel provided us with a private room with a double bed. the staff were friendly and helpful.this is a great place for people who like a party but you can also get the rest you need . the only disappointent was on check put when we ad to pay extra beacause of a mistake on the hostels behalf, but these things happen

Really great hostel, a little out of the way but there is a bus that takes you right into whistler. The hostel itself was pristine.

Great hostel, just annoying that its not in the village or creekside. But despite it being out of these two places, the bus service to the hostel is amazing.

Good place to stay if you want to ski/bike/etc in whistler. The bus takes about 15-20 mins to get into Whistler village, but its also nice to be slightly away from the madness! Staff are pretty friendly, and the dorm arrangements (average 4 beds/room, 2 rooms per bathroom) is conducive to making friends with roomies, while not cramming too many people into one room. kitchen is OK, with good basic equipment. Stayed here for a week while skiing Whistler Blackcomb and had a ball! book in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property - and we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Booking in advance for December through March is a must, especially when the snow is falling. Hope to see you back again soon. Kind regards, Shaun Freeman - General Manager.

Remarkable place. Not too far from the ski area. Full services, including a large kitchen, lounge area and just a great ambiance... staff is welcoming.

The hostel is awesome and could be better if it was in the whistler village


69%

Poor location but hard to expect things to be easy in a ski resort town. Good building but the atmosphere lacked a little due to the people not being too diverse, just groups going skiing. Hostel itself is fairly good with the exception of the location

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, it's greatly appreciated. The ski crowd is definitely a major part of our clientele in the winter months, however Whistler definitely has more to offer than just the ski hill - you'd probably love it here in the summer months - less crowds, great hiking, biking, etc. Hope to see you back again in Whistler again soon! Kind Regards, Shaun Freeman - General Manager.

Really clean and new hostel. Great bang for your buck if you don't mind the bus-ride to Whistler village

The staff here were really helpful and even managed to get me a last minute room for the 2nd night I was there even though I hadn't booked. All the people staying there were really helpful too and the kitchen facilities were also very good. The place was also in immaculate condition and clearly well kept.

Very good setup, far from the village but the bus ride is easy. They could organise more activities, either in the village or at the hostel.
