Hostels In Vancouver

Vancouver, British Colombia, is on the West Coast of Canada. Metro Vancouver has a population of over 2 million people and is beautifully nestled between the Salish Sea and Coast Mountain Range. Vancouver’s oceanic climate is perfect for lush Douglas fir forests to thrive and makes being outdoors quite pleasant, especially during late spring, summer, and early fall when there is less rainfall. The combination of having a large population, being surrounded by amazing natural landscapes and having a mild climate makes Vancouver an ideal destination for urbanites and backpackers.

Vancouver youth hostels are clean, green, affordable accommodation machines. Most offer free Wi-Fi, and some even include a huge cooked breakfast spread in the price. Choose a Vancouver hostel with a buzzing bar and great happy hours if you’re travelling solo and looking for a party vibe, or one a little out of the city centre with cosy private rooms if you’d rather chill. Some have fun social areas with table football and video games, and one even has a resident cat to cuddle when you’re feeling homesick!

Location, Location, Location. Choosing the right youth hostel for you largely depends on what you plan to do during your time in Van. Most of the backpackers hostels in Vancouver are either in Downtown or the West End. These are all great locations for shopping, dining, getting cultured, or hitting the nightlife scene. Staying in North Vancouver will make the mountain slightly more accessible, or you can always book near Jericho Beach for a more leisurely stay.
