I would recommend Pacific Spirit for any type of stay, convenient and comfortable .
Heather, 3-night trip

Great hostel option. You're staying in the UBC dorms with access to laundry, a kitchen with microwave, fridge, and hot water kettle. Location is extremely convenient. I also found it quiet and clean.

Excellent Private Room for a Great Price

Nice private room, no air conditioning but you can ask to borrow a fan. I stayed in August and did not feel hot. Bathrooms were always clean and the hostel is a short bus ride away into the city. I would recommend doing laundry somewhere else otherwise there was a $10 CAD minimum to load the laundry card. Will come back!

Basic and Hot

Small room, bed somewhat comfortable. Building and rooms are clean. Reception staff polite, courteous and efficient. Wish there was a hair dryer. Be aware rooms have no AC - my room was like a sauna upon check in. Opening window helps a bit but still so warm my chocolate bar melted!

10/10 Exceptional

Great value and comfy room.

Great stay at the university student residence halls while the university is closed for the summer. The room had everything you would need. A comfy bed, good towels and a decent amount of space too. The showers are shared but split into women / men only by floors. Good hot water and water pressure. Kitchen was useful if you needed to heat something or make tea/coffee etc. The campus is stunning and close to Wreck Beach which is worth a trip for sunset. Incredibly good value for money. Would stay again if came at the same time of year.

6/10 Good

Smell really bad

The service and location are good. The room is not bad - unless the smell. Feels like the room was moldy, the smell was so strong, uncomfortable to stay inside and sleep.
Jiao, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very satisfying stay.

My stay was over the summer so it was quite peaceful and quiet. The rooms and buildings were kept lovely and clean. Dispite the age of the buildings the washrooms were updated and kept especially clean.The grounds were also well kept. I did miss not having outdoor furniture to relax outside but I do understand why there isn't. My only disappointment was not getting clean towels and facecloth for 4 day visit.

Out of the Way

Put on your walking shoes! You need a car or else it's a 15 minute walk to the bus terminal at UBC. Very Spartan room with no conveniences which are shared but clean. Bring some breakfast food as the campus restaurants don't open until 8am. There are plenty of buses but you need an hour to get into the city. Early risers can use the 24 hour McDonald's on campus but an18 minute walk away. There are many great walking and biking paths in and around the city.ppp

cheap private room, can't go wrong. and so close to the beach!!!
Keanna, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Budget Friendly accommodation

The property is not technically a hostel in my opinion. It is a university dorm (UBC). The main difference that I felt with a hostel was that this was individual single bed rooms with share washrooms/kitchens. I didn't see much of travellers vibe hanging together, altbough there was places for it either in the main lobby or in individual buildings. However, having said this, the property was reasonably priced in the over-priced city of Vancouver. So, if you are on a budget and don't mind an hour commute to get to downtown, this is a nice place to try. Very close to the beach, and also within 15 minutes walk to several eateries.
