For the price and amount of people in each room I felt a bath mat and some inexpensive shower heads could be afforded. 8 people per room at 60-80/night allows room for upgrading even the toilet seats. Most expensive hostel I’ve experienced with least maintenance and upgrades seen. But the junkies outside on the street were totally worth the experience.

This was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. It took a moment to figure out the routine but once that was done, we could not have had a better place to stay. From the first greeting, to the great advise regarding parking and accommodating my 81 year old aunt, and of course the yummy breakfast fare; our time here was wonderful.

Place is very well organized. Security is excellent. Key to exterior door, interior common door to dorms, key to your specific dorm, and locks available for large individual lockers which will accommodate all of your stuff. Large well equipped common kitchen. Thoughtful free welcoming drink. Included breakfast is buffet style with hard boiled eggs, cereal, yoghurt, bread and more. Included dinner was served rice, lentils and healthy sauce. Location is central and lockers are available for storage of luggage before and after stay. Obvious effort has been made to make your stay enjoyable, and is appreciated!

10/10 for the stay. Just a bit expensive for a hostel. Perhaps due to it's proximity to the downtown.

Great budget conscious option in central Victoria. Lovely staff, very clean rooms (didn’t stay in the dorm), bathroom, facilities, etc. It’s a no-nonsense place, but a friendly vibe. Breakfast is included but self-serve. You get your own dishes and you wash them. The choices are fairly healthy and offer fuel for the day. Dinner was also included but I missed those. I found it quiet and felt secure. 4.5/5 strongly recommended.

Location Location Location !!!!! TOTALLY Fun vibe with free bar drinks, breakfast, and DINNER !!! Hannah is always smiling laughing and contagious to everyone ... so is Yannie the male bartender ... Our street goes straight thru the island with the downtown harbor on one end and the upscale coastal village of Oak Bay on the other .GET A BIKE !! The staff suggested Cycle BC on Humboldt&Douglas (10min walk!!) Ander was very helpful with an AWESOME CRUISER rental at a GREAT PRICE w/our HOSTEL DISCOUNT !!

I like that it’s cheaper than orhers that’s unique. But the place was so untidy specially the washrooms. I literally avoided drinking so I will not pee. That place is so gross. That will be my first and last

Breakfast, dinner and a beverage included with stay. Staff was very friendly. Very little parking at the hostel but there is a parking garage very close by.

I was amazed for a Hostel how clean everything was from my room, the lobby and the kitchen area. The breakfast was perfect to get me started on my day. The dinner was adequate to have something on my stomach. Never have I had something given for dinner so that was an added bonus. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Being able to store my backpack on my last day was a bonus. I would definitely stay here, again.

I only spent a night at this hostel, but it was a good experience. The complimentary drink was a welcome surprise. The breakfast was good, but I could have used some milk and sweetener for my coffee (it could be that they keep those on the back or something, I was running out so can't really tell and had no time to ask). Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and so were the washrooms, which are for a single occupant at a time. I used one of the single rooms and it was quiet and cozy. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Victoria.
