This hostel has all kinds of amenities and is located with easy access to the tourist attractions, pubs, sports venues and the easy to access the rest of the city - metro system.

The hostel's website best describes everything that they offer, it's one of the best around:
"

FREE NIGHT!  Starting October 9, check in and pay for 6 nights and get your 7th consecutive night free. Offer ends March 31, 2013

$5 NIGHT!  Starting October 9, purchase an HI membership at check-in and get your first night in a dorm bed (in a 4-bed room) for just $5! Or get a $25 discount off of your private room or bed in a 2-bed dorm room. Offer ends March 31, 2013.

FREE BREAKFAST!  Start your day off right with our all-you-can-eat continental breakfast buffet.  It's at least a $5 value, and we know you've got better places to spend that money.  Sleep later -- breakfast now served until 10 AM!

FREE WIRELESS!  That's right, we said free wireless -- recently upgraded, in every room in the hostel.

PRIVATE BATHROOMS!  Every bathroom in the hostel is a private bathroom.  Sometimes it's nice not to share!

Smack dab in the middle of Granville Street's pub and club district, we're one of the newest Vancouver hostels -- and if you're angling for access to all the partying and good times you could want, without compromising on security, comfort, and cleanliness, then we're where you want to be!

Our in-the-thick-of-it location makes for the perfect home base while you explore Vancouver. Our hostel has awesome daily tours that'll have you hanging out with travellers from all over the world while you teeter across the Capilano Suspension Bridge or sip a pint on one of our pub crawls.

Check the hostel's Activities and Programs for info on fun stuff we've got going on every day of the week. You won't want to miss our pub nights!  You'll also want to check out our Top 10 Vancouver Hightlights -- it's a great mix of  Vancouver's most popular attractions as well as some stuff you might not know about. 

If you're looking for the fun of a hostel, but still want privacy, you'll love our ensuite private rooms (cable TV included!) and our two-bed dorms.  These are our most popular room types, so make sure to book in advance!

A quick word about our kitchen -- our previous guests have asked (and we listened!) that we mention ahead that our cooking facilities include only microwaves, toasters and kettles.  If you're looking to cook up a feast, we've got two other hostels in Vancouver (Downtown and Jericho Beach) with really impressive kitchens.

We know you care about security, too, and that's why you'll find your own backpack-sized locker in your dorm. When you don't have to worry about your stuff, you can really start enjoying yourself.

So that's our story: fun, secure, comfortable, clean, and can we just put in one more plug for the Granville Street nightlife?
