3.0 / 10.0

The room was in fairly good condition and the staff were friendly upon arrival. The location was great and easily accessible from Waterfront skytrain station. One issue I encountered was the noise from the bar downstairs. The bass carries through the floor, making it impossible to sleep prior to 2 am. I was also surprised by the fact that I was not allowed to have visitors in my private room. A friend came by to wait with me while I got ready to go out, and the front desk worker informed me that he was allowed to come up to my room, but later agreed to it. About half an hour later, however, the worker came to my room and knocked on my door and once again said my friend needed to leave. I have never paid for a room in a hotel, etc where I was not permitted to have a guest inside, and I really don't understand the logic. It was off-putting, especially since my friend was only waiting for me to get ready so that we could leave. If I had known of this policy, I would have paid the extra money for a regular hotel.

Very conveniently located. Facility is an old hotel with creepy and uneven floors - depending on your POV adds character or just old. I only stayed a couple nights and it was perfect for taking the bus to hike in the mountains.

2.0 / 10.0

Absolutely brutal. Room was so noisy due to music below that I was forced to stay in Vancouver for an extra day in order to get some sleep...during the day. I've stayed at fine hotels and budget hostels; I understand that you get what you pay for. This was the first time that I have ever felt scammed and ripped off by the proprietor. The cats seemed to feel the same way. Shame on you.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall, I had a good stay at The Cambie Hostel. The location was great, the atmosphere was lively, and the facilities met my expectations for a hostel. It’s a solid choice for travelers looking for a social, budget-friendly spot. That said, my checkout experience was a bit frustrating. The staff member helping me seemed overwhelmed and ended up snapping at me, which left a bit of a sour note at the end of my stay. I understand he was under pressure and juggling a lot, but the attitude wasn’t great and felt unnecessary. Other than that moment, everything else went smoothly. I’d still recommend the hostel — just hoping for a bit more patience and professionalism at the front desk next time.

8.0 / 10.0

I enjoyed my stay at the Cambie don’t get me wrong! For someone who’s not picky it’s a great place to stay. The things that follow are just for those who want a better idea of what they’re in for. Cleanliness wise things could be better - specifically the bathrooms. The arrangement of the female toilets is pretty crap, no private change space at all. The common room and kitchen area are super, super good. Food storage a huge plus - the staff actually do something about it if they find someone taking your food which is great! Most of the staff at reception were kind and helpful. I loved having the bar downstairs as I like a good pint and a boogie plus they have events almost every day of the week, and the cheapest pints in town. But if you want quiet, the Cambie is not the place to stay - loud music until early hours. There’s a number of stairs to keep in mind if you’re lugging heavy cases or if you’re a bit older than us young folk.

2.0 / 10.0

Bathroom is small, just 2 showers for girls on one floor. Not possible to open windows and no other ventilation. A lot of noise to late at night from the bar downstairs

8.0 / 10.0

We stayed one night. Only a few blocks from Waterfront Station. Our flight came in after dark and very good connection from airport (Canada Line). It’s a hostel- so if you’re used to staying at the Ritz it will not meet those expectations. it is like a basic university dorm less the dining hall. Clean basic accommodation and a comfortable bed for overnight. Shared bathroom down the hall- but only needed to pee a few times. Great front desk staff.

First the good: Very helpful and friendly staff. I had two bags to carry, one very heavy, up two flights of stairs. Staff member carried my heavy one for me. Another went and got us ice when we needed some because my wife sprained her wrist. Now the bad: Our private room was on the second floor. For those from the United States, that would be the third floor. That's a lot of stairs when you are older and have to haul luggage up and down because it has no elevator. One of their less experienced staff checked us in. Good thing a more experienced staff person was listening, because we almost got changed for towels, which are no extra charge with a private room. There was little bits of hair and lint stuck to the sheets. Room was hot, no a/c, but thankfully they had a couple of small fans. Window opened but no screen. I had to climb on a chair and reconnect one of the curtain hooks. I'm 6 foot tall, and could barely stretch out on the bed between head and foot rails. If I stretched out my toes even a little, they hit metal.

Shout out to The Legendary Cambie in Gastown. The staff were amazing from check in to check out. The rooms were clean and well designed. The security of the hostel is high and the staff are on hand 24/7 Highly recommend for anyone travelling or anyone who is stranded because of an airline strike! See you in a few weeks Cambie! - Jake

TERRIBLE

6.0 / 10.0

Dirty kitchen and bathroom. The shared dorm was okay, the bed was clean but the room itself was a little dusty and only had 4 outlets available for 4 people plus the provided fans. As expected it was pretty noisy due to the bar below but quite bearable in my room, and the noise died down at like 1am. One thing I appreciated was the security; you need keys to access the front door, the stairs to the rooms, the rooms themselves, and the women’s bathroom.

10.0 / 10.0

Cons-They are bunk beds. When the person on the top bunk moves, you feel it on the bottom bunk. (Shakes a lot) The rooms were hot with no option to open a window. There was a stand alone fan that was used. But a little war on positioning w the other bunk mates. Someone would get hot and turn it towards them, and continued throughout the night. Weekends are loud as there’s a saloon/bar underneath-attached. So bring earplugs. Pros- A couple of blocks down is the famous steam clock, shopping, and dining options. $2 oysters, limit a dozen, souvenirs and regular shopping, several bars and outdoor cafes. Easy walk to convention center, ship terminals, shopping, and parks. Can use an app and get a bike and ride around or walk. Abt a 30 min walk to Stanley park
