Liked: Nice location. Not far from the beach and the Jericho park. Washing rooms are bright and clean. 14 bed dorms are divided into sections. Big kitchen area with all stuff you need to cook. TV room with big TV and streaming (Netflix,... ) in case the weather is bad und you want to stay at the hostel during the day
Disliked: You have to walk a liitle bit to get to the 4th Street to get to the bus.

Fun in the Sun

Liked: Location was great for beach access. There was one restaurant on the beach I ate there 2x every meal was $20 fish tacos
Disliked: It is an older building. My first room did not have electrical outlets or a light by the bed. The only lights were on the ceiling. You would’ve needed a long extension cord for the one outlet on the wall, no mirrors in the room,do not get (False Creek F Dorm)I was able to change my dorm the next day to one with electrical outlets next to bed and a light and mirrors on the wall, (Hemlock F Dorm) they had a table with chair for each 4 pod which was convenient. I needed to fully pack all my gear and put in luggage storage until 4 pm and given linens to make my own bed.There are no curtains on any of the bunks, no shelf or hooks, no curtains, but had a curtain for privacy for every 4 bunks, no AC, gratefully the windows were big and opened for breeze. 6ft Narrow Lockers with 2 hooks, strong enough for a back pack and an upper shelf.When they clean they wash only the centre floor not the area in each of the 4 pods? Can get a little sandy. Asked to wipe out area and ignored.Bathrooms and showers are great remodelled clean and bright. Only one type of soap offered.Oddly one day we all had to leave our room as there was a police dog that came through all the dorms in a city where all drugs are de-criminalized and cannabis is everywhere? Waste of police resources? And our privacy? Never experienced this anywhere else in the world.Free breakfast offered the week I arrived but I had bought my groceries with me as there is not much nearby. I did enjoy their organic earl grey tea and they had great kitchen resources for cooking.As a world traveller, it was the most expensive hostels I ever paid and by far not the nicest. Vancouver has limited hostels and the Folk Festival nearby was just concluding.The Staff were great, excursions and events were fun. The beach is beautiful, the water can be dirty/muddy/not clear. Check the fecal count before entering the ocean. Jericho seemed to be a consistent safe beach to swim.
