Hostel was as described - nothing fancy but definitely social in nature! They could have used with a few extra plugs and some better privacy curtains but overall a great deal for the price! Bring earplugs for nighttime 😊

Perfect for Insomniacs (sleep not included) Wow, what an experience. If you’re someone who thinks silence is overrated and believes that sleep is just a social construct, this is the hostel for you! Why settle for a quiet night when you can have the full nightclub experience from the comfort of your bed? Earplugs? Useless. Soundproofing? Never heard of it. Five stars for nightlife, zero for sleep quality. But hey, who goes to a hostel to rest anyway?

The staff were great and it’s a good location, but it’s above a bar with loud music so was very hard to sleep. Also there are cats which come into the rooms, avoid if you’re allergic to cats

We had a disappointing experience at Cambie Hostel. Upon check-in, the receptionist was extremely rude, not just to us, but also to another couple, yelling at them for not having their IDs ready. It set a very unwelcoming tone. One of the reasons we chose this hostel was the advertised availability of towels, but none were available when we arrived. We were told they’d be ready at 10 a.m., but when we returned, we were told it would be 2 p.m. instead. Ultimately, we had to buy our own towels from a nearby drug store just to shower. This made our stay much less comfortable than expected.

It said that luggage could be stored, but in reality, there was only a simple basket under the bed without a lock, and I had to purchase a padlock at the front desk for $10.

I booked a same-gender bunk bed room just before Easter and, to my surprise, had the room to myself for five out of the six nights. Although the room was very small, it was well-designed, with thoughtful storage and convenient plug-ins—which I especially appreciated having all to myself. Everything worked well, the space felt safe and quiet, and the staff were friendly.
