HI-Vancouver Central

HI-Vancouver Central is one of three Hostelling International properties in Vancouver which merits a place on our list. Located on Granville Street in the middle of an entertainment district, the hostel is ideally situated in the city center so as to make your visit easy. Much of what you come to Vancouver to see and do will be easily accessible from the hostel, including many of the city’s best bars, night clubs and pubs.

Guests at HI-Vancouver Central can choose from private or dorm style rooms. The dorms are either mixed or single sex (the mixed dorms are for couples or mixed sex groups, single travelers should book a bed in either the male or female dorm - preferably the one that matches your own gender), and the dorm sizes range from three to four beds per room - so none of the rooms is overcrowded or uncomfortable. All of the dorms make use of shared bathrooms, as do some of the private rooms, but the bathrooms at HI-Vancouver Central are not locker-room style - these are single rooms which you can have all yourself, and some of them even feature claw-foot tubs.

Some of the amenities you will find at HI-Vancouver Central are:

  • Free linens and towels
  • Free all-you-can-eat continental breakfast
  • Internet access and free WiFi
  • On site bar and night club
  • Local discounts
  • Luggage storage and security lockers
  • Laundry facilities and guest kitchen
  • No curfew or lockout
  • 24 hour check in and 24 hour reception

Despite being in the center of the city’s entertainment district, HI-Vancouver Central does not leave the entertainment to others - instead, the hostel has a bar of its own which offers some of the best drink specials in Vancouver. The hostel also offers discounts to area attractions as well as city tours and pub crawls which leave right from the hostel. People who work at this hostel are travelers, so they know what travelers want and need. They are always on hand to dispense excellent advice about what to se and do in Vancouver, especially the stuff that is free or nearly free.

With a central location, party vibe and a great set of activities on tap for anyone who wants to join in, it is no surprise that HI-Vancouver Central is a favorite of travel guidebooks and travelers alike. Make a reservation here, as beds book up quickly.
