Understand it’s a hostel with a club on 1st floor
First, it’s a hostel so make sure you are clear on that. I regularly stay at them but this one was still a bit rough. It is a historic building and also low on amenities as hostels go. I guess it’s all about location (why I chose it) I arrived on a Saturday night and the first floor bar was in full-on nightclub mode with loud music. I had ear plugs so slept fine but it was pretty intense and you can hear the music upstairs because it’s an old building so there’s no AC & the windows are open. Rooms are on floors 2-3. Be aware there is no elevator and old steep stairs meant I didn’t bring my heavy bag upstairs. They stored it for me no problem (still needed to navigate some stairs) and I just slept in my clothes, as there was no place in reception to open it. I didn’t have high expectations and I was only there for and a few hours sleep before boarding a cruise ship. The bed was fineand my room was spacious. You get 3 keys (that make too much noise) a key for getting in room, a key for the bathroom and a key to get upstairs. The bathroom was really challenging for me. Two stalls and two tiny showers on my floor for everyone and once I had to walk up to the next level bc it was being cleaned - not what I wanted when I woke up. I didn’t even shower in the end and there were 4 of us trying to brush teeth and get ready in front of a tiny counter with 2 sinks. The staff are great and it was my bad for not researching that Gastown is a party zone. I didn’t know - now you do :)

The first guy at the front desk gave me a room full of dudes despite the fact I am a female. I hate the first night and the next day when I came back, someone who book-in took my bed (I didnt leave any stuff on it so the cleaner made a new bedding). This time, there's a different guy at the front desk and they noticed I'm room with males, so gave me another room that's empty and will pair me with females. Overall if this happens to you, just let the front desk know.

Left a lot to desire
Definitely one of the barest-bones hostels I've ever stayed in, and I think they'd probably have to go for a full remodel to match the lowest requirements for any standard modern hostel. tl;dr: lack of outlets in room, building not designed for summer weather, very cramped bathrooms, & ask specifically for a towel I had one bed in a 4-bunk room. Room was fairly spacious. Top bunks had no safety bar. There was a total of four outlets, but they were all behind the room door, out of reach for all four bunks. One had to be used for a room fan, since hot summers are a relatively recent thing for Canada (no AC), so I ended up charging my phone in the common room (lots of outlets there!). Surprisingly small number of toilets for the number of beds, but I only stayed one night so no issue. bathroom design is weird and cramped. there's like ~1 foot / 30 cm between entrances to toilet stall and shower stall. Towel rental was not offered at check-in so I thought towels were maybe included with linens - not the case, so just remember to ask if you need one. Overall, would not stay again, but fine for the one night.

A really nice inexpensive option. Can be a bit loud from the bar downstairs but wasn't too bad. I preferred it to the Cambie Seymour.

Very basic place to stay…nice and convenient to downtown and the port. I must stress basic though. Don’t expect anything fancy. They don’t have an elevator so expect to drag your luggage upstairs… not for handicap people.

Just spend a bit more and go somewhere else
The water of the shower is minimum if someone else is also showering. The showers are tiny. And you are basically sleeping on top of a club where the beds are trembling because of the bass.
