Loud and not as advertised
Private room in a hostel but it appeared to have a bathroom, which it did not - had to go down the hall, which is fine but not at this price and when it says 'with bathroom'.
Then on night 2 it was kareoke night at the bar below. I could literally sing along from my bed at full volume, if the singers weren't so bad.
Sorry.

Alvin at the front desk was really nice and helpful during my stay! There's also a front desk lady in the morning who's really nice, but I wasn't able to get her name.:)
Smooth check in and check out process.

No one should go near Either Cambie hostels they are DISGUSTING inside and outside there is an abundance of Street people around both hostels making no one safe. I left this property and went to a nice clean safe property. Please pull both Cambie hostels from your web page

Wonderful staffs. Clean Property. Overall a great experience.
It was a great stay overall. Room was as advertised, staff is great. That is if you don't mind the music coming from the bars downstairs.

Definitely Book This Place!
We happened upon the Cambie Hostel because two VRBO hosts canceled on us, on the biggest weekend in Vancouver's history-the Taylor Swift Era's tour FINAL stop.
We never stayed at a hostel before and were a bit apprehensive. We were SO lucky and SO pleased that a room opened up at the Cambie! The front desk hosts were always pleasant. The room was spotless and so comfy. Everything we needed was within walking distance to the hostel. BEST SPOT EVER!!! Malone's was a terrific spot to eat at before seeing Taylor. The 515 Bar was one of the best bars we've ever been to-what an amazing vibe! Every single person we encountered in Vancouver was so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!
