If you have the means bring a space heater because the place gets cold during winter! Other than that the place was nice and cozy enough for what you pay for and the property manager and his family were super cool and very helpful. He went the extra mile making sure I felt welcome and I knew all the cool spots around the city. Will definitely recommend if you're just passing through!! Shoot I may book again myself

Much better than what I expected.

A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places. The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp. I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.

Easy self check in and in a location close to shopping and transportation which is great. The room itself was not great with blankets cover this window and ants crawling… if you are solo and don’t need anything more its fine.

The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.

Fantastic stay for what we needed. We felt safe with code locks on both front and room doors. Check in was easy and staff quick to respond. We didnt use the common areas much but the living room looked cozy and standard kitchen. Just what we needed for a place to crash after an event
