If there is a maid, they aren’t cleaning any of the communal spaces. The communal showers were disgusting and I had to keep asking the front desk for more toilet paper. The beds are uncomfortable and the rooms are full of unnecessary furniture like two big dressers and desks make it impossible to move around the room. It was a budget hotel but I’ve stayed at other hostels in Vancouver that were way better maintained than this.

I think this place offers the best performance for the price. Even though it’s a hostel, I stayed alone in a double room. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, this is your best bet. Plus, the people have been friendly to me so far.

Staying at the St. Claire Hostel was such a dreadful experience that I feel morally obligated to warn others. My room was at least 80°F (27°C) all night with zero air conditioning, and the whole building was a sauna. They gave me a duct-taped fan that barely worked, and I had to choose between suffocating or opening a window with no screen and letting in bugs. There were only two outlets in the room, so you get to pick between your fan and your phone. And forget sleep: the room had an interior window that opened to a hallway light that stayed on all night, making it impossible to rest. The bed was a joke. I’m 6’1” (1.85m) and literally couldn’t fit — my feet had to stick through the bars of the footboard just to lie flat. The mattress was paper-thin, the frame squeaked with every breath, and the pillows might as well be cardboard. To top it off, there were food wrappers under the dresser from the last guest, and the ceiling was literally falling apart. The shared bathrooms were the final insult. The showers reeked of cat urine, bugs crawled across the whole bathroom, and mold was growing visibly on the ceilings, windows, vents, and walls. I never once felt clean during my entire stay. This place is unhygienic, unsafe, and unacceptable. Bottom line: I don’t care how cheap it is. Sleep anywhere else. Sleep in your car. Sleep on a park bench. Just don’t stay at the St. Claire Hostel unless you want your vacation hindered.

15 minute walk to the water and the convention center. It’s a beautiful city if you can get it for under $100 a night that would be OK but due to it being during a convention it was very expensive. I did get my own sink, but had to share a toilet shower. Staff was very pleasant. I would stay there again for the right price.

The hostel benefits from a prime location close to downtown, making it convenient for guests who want quick access to shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions. However, the overall experience was let down by poor cleanliness. There was a persistent and unpleasant odor throughout the property, including in the rooms and common areas. This significantly impacted my comfort during the stay. While the location is excellent, I would hesitate to return unless improvements are made to address the smell and overall hygiene.

Although a cheap option for two female friends, it didn’t feel a great location. Unfortunately homeless people had taken up many of the alleys and our room was in direct sight. So it became extremely noisy at night till the early hours of the morning. Along with demolitions to the next door building,it became our less favourable hostel. The showers were in need of a daily clean and almost put you off using them. Stayed 3 days and not cleaned during that time. On a positive,staff where very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here for a couple nights vacation in Vancouver. Nice location in downtown, close to restaurants and shops. As a "hostel," the amenities are a bit spare, but it's a good value if all you really need is a place to sleep and store your belongings while exploring the city. One caution is that the entrance stairs are narrow and steep which can be a complication with your luggage or if you have mobility issues.
