SameSun Backpacker Lodge Vancouver
There are several SameSun Backpacker Lodge Vancouver locations throughout Canada, and lucky for you they have one in Vancouver, too. Located on Vancouver’s hip and happening Granville Street in the heart of the city’s entertainment district, this hostel is one of the largest in downtown Vancouver. It is also the place to be if you are in Vancouver to party with other travelers and backpackers.
Rooms at the SameSun Backpacker Lodge Vancouver vary from dorm style rooms to private rooms. All of the dorms make use of shared bathroom facilities, while some of the private rooms also have private en suite bathrooms. Dorms here are not huge, with only four beds per room, so they are not overcrowded. The common areas are where all the fun is, however, so if you are a light sleeper or intent on getting your full eight hours per night of shut-eye, you had best look elsewhere in Vancouver for a place to stay. This is where the party people stay.

The SameSun Backpacker Lodge Vancouver might be surrounded by excellent bars and night clubs, but you need go no further than the hostel’s own Beaver Restaurant and Pub to find one of the best places for cheap drinks and food in all of Vancouver. This is the ideal backpacker hangout, full of travelers sharing laughs and stories, and the bar often features live DJs to keep the party going all night long. Of course, if you want some activities out of the hostel, too, the hostel has you covered - with trips to hockey games, comedy nights, bowling trips and movie outings (not to mention anything else you ask the helpful staff to help you arrange), you will never lack for things to do.
Friendly and welcoming are two words often used to describe the atmosphere and the staff at SameSun Backpacker Lodge Vancouver, and they are both accurate. This hostel has been recommended by several guidebooks, so if it sounds like the place you want to stay in Vancouver, be sure to book early.
