"Exceptional"

9.0

An old hotel/rooming house in metro Vancouver designed for workers on shipping and railway lines in the early 1900s, St. Clair retains almost all (95%) of its original features and possesses a old world charm — extremely authentic. It's not your typical hostel with a big common area, open kitchen and large bedrooms with a bunch of bunk beds. Rather, very cozy with private rooms. Other than sharing toilets and showers, its all yours to enjoy. Also very clean, quite and secure. If you want all the mod-cons, its probably not for you. If you want the simple basics that ooze with a rich history — this is the place.

Beds are a little stiff, but not horrible.

"Did not feel safe"

1.0

In the park infront of the Hostel there is a lot of drug addicts, in my case, there was a person taking drugs on the stairs going to the Hostel.... I really do not recommend staying here, I did not feel safe at all. Moreover, the windows are really old and you can listen everything. So not a good option for a good rest....

"A good place to stay"

8.0

Convenience to transportation (walking distance to train station) and ministores/ foodstores around the area.

Tolerable noise from the vehicles and from homeless individuals from across the park.
