Vancouver

Cosmopolitan Vancouver is often noted for its livability, and plenty of residents started out as travelers who just could not bring themselves to leave. The city itself is everything an urban traveler will love, and nature is close enough to keep outdoor enthusiasts quite happy as well. All of this comes at a price, unfortunately, and travel in Vancouver is notoriously expensive. One way to stretch your travel budget is to stay in a Vancouver hostel - but how do you choose the right one? Our list of the best hostels in Vancouver should help.

We know your time is precious, so we do not want you to waste it by reading through pages and pages of travel guidebooks or website after website on Vancouver hostels - so we did the hard work for you, reading both hostel reviews and feedback written by real travelers just like you to compile our list of the best hostels in Vancouver. Now all you need to do is read through a few hostel descriptions, not spend hours doing it.

Here is our list of Vancouver’s best hostels - by clicking on each name you will get to a brief hostel description which includes the hostel’s location in the city (especially as it relates to Vancouver’s attractions) and the amenities the hostel offers (especially the free ones!). By reading through these few descriptions, you should be able to find the one that will be perfect for you. Of course, if you do not find the ideal hostel here and you want to keep reading, there are more Vancouver hostels to check out!

Vancouver’s Best Hostels

• HI-Vancouver Central
• Hi-Vancouver Downtown
• HI-Vancouver Jericho Beach
• SameSun Backpacker Lodge - Vancouver
• St. Clair Hotel
• The Urban Hideaway Guesthouse

Do keep in mind that the factors which make each of these hostels qualify for the list of Vancouver’s best hostels might be different for each hostel. One might be party central while another is a quiet retreat from the city. One might be cheap but in a noisy area while another costs a bit more but is centrally located to everything you want to see. You just have to pick which hostel’s personality matches your own personality and you should be perfectly happy staying there. Also keep in mind that although most hostels still often use the phrase “youth hostel” in their descriptions, very few actually have age restrictions anymore. If a hostel has an age restriction, it will be clearly noted.

We hope we have saved you some valuable time in your Vancouver vacation planning, and that you have a great time in Vancouver! Be sure to check out our Vancouver Travel Guide for more travel resources before you go.
