Pros: Clean, great common area, free breakfast, friendly staff, group activities. Cons: Dorm rooms very small and cramped, metal lockers loud and hard to access under bunks, nightly price is high. Other note: Located on a street full of nightclubs, some shady activity, although we felt safe with so many locked doors requiring access cards. Surprisingly I didn’t find it too loud despite the nightlife, however it may be louder on weekends. Overall would stay again!

It was my first time ever in a Hostel and traveling to Canada and I enjoyed it so much! I felt very comfortable even in my own space. It was so cute inside looked very chic. The service and cleanliness 10/10.

The bed was very comfortable and I loved that I could opt for a bottom bunk and check in early (both for a fee). But personally I didn’t enjoy the downtown location as I got no feel for the city and there wasn’t much of a vibe at the hostel. Also, no laundry, though their website says they have it.

Hostelworld says

SameSun Vancouver is in an excellent location in central Vancouver, very near the Skytrain and less than 15 minutes? walk from BC Place Stadium, charming Granville Island and lively Gastown. It?s also surrounded by the city?s best clubs, shopping and restaurants. Hostelworld guests have said ?the colours and atmosphere and area are what make this place above and beyond the norm? at this ?fun and fabulous? hostel.
