Guest Reviews
- Christian (10/5): - .
- Michael (8/5): - nice place.
- Pornthip (8/5): - Better than expected hostel stay. People are nice and respectful. Facilities are ok. Bedroom is small, do not bring big luggage. Bed is alright, bathroom is clean, shared kitchen is clean and has plenty of fridge space for everyone. The lobby is a nice place to eat and chill out. Recommended for those who plan to spend a lot of time outside and use this place to rest. At night it can get quite rowdy outside. Location is super convenient, walkable to most of the city attractions.
- Daniel (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was excellent for transport links around the city
- Cecilia (10/5): - It was a lovely experience thanks to the staff. I traveled alone and I joined the tours organized by Caro, a lovely Chilean girl, who made my solo trip easy and fun. She has a daily tour planned for you, if you don’t know what to do, join her!!! Chio at the front desk was so helpful and kind. I highly recommend this place, it’s clean, organized. Great location, tons of food options around, supermarkets nearby, and the close to one of the SkyTrain stations.
- James (10/5): - Overall everything was amazing! Just the people in the area were questionable, with homeless or drunk people… That was a bit uncomfortable but everything else with the property was amazing, with friendly staff and clean rooms and facilities. There’s also restaurants and shops nearby, and very good public transit as well
- Leonard (10/5): - Good place
- Yu (8/5): - It's better than I thought
- Hector Arturo (10/5): - The room has a good size and the staff is always keeping the place clean regardless of the amount of guests. The breakfast is a good option to start up your day in a healthy way. If anything, be wary if you cannot use the stairs because there are a number of them even if you're on the first floor. Nevertheless it was a great experience and totally recommend it.
- Hyung Jin (10/5): - Good check-in experience. Nice and secure looking personal items storage.
- Daniel (10/5): - Very good stay, friendly staff and good area for social nights in Vancouver
- Luan (10/5): - It really exceeded my expectations.
- Patricia (10/5): - International guests.
- Donald (10/5): - Okay
- Richard (10/5): - Well staffed, great security, excellent bedding and mattress. Great showers and bathrooms, constantly checked for cleanliness. Well equipped kitchen with good storage for food.
- Etienne (10/5): - Everything was so good and i can refere it to many friends.
- Amanda (8/5): Excellent value but there is a cost! - Okay so I’m a 54 year old married woman and not the target market client for a hostel. However we wanted a cheap centrally located place to stay. On the plus side it’s cheap and a safe location, even if a bit mixey. The staff were super helpful (especially Grant), the room (we had a private en-suite room) was spotless and the bed comfy. Also there was free breakfast from 6am and cheap food in the evening. On the negative side the room was tiny and very noisy during the night. On our first night someone blow dried their hair at 2am in the communal bathroom waking us up. On the second night someone was violently sick. We got little sleep! However after the first night I was saying this is brilliant why do we normally stay in hotels but after the second realised there was a reason we did. So all in all good value for money but remember it’s a hostel aimed at young people and not oldies like me!
- harriet (8/5): - This was a great place, but there was no air conditioning in the room so it was very hot when sleeping. The area around the Hostel was a little sketchy, but one block east or west and the area seemed fine. It is what you would expect from staying in any large city downtown. It also kind of reminded me of Times Square in NYC.
- Andrew (6/5): Too hot. - The room was hot. Like, stiflingly hot. I was on the top floor, room 307. The small fan and tiny window did nothing. The room did not cool down to an even slightly comfortable level till around 3:00am and even then was still likely around 27 degrees. Oh, and there was a literal murder just outside at 3:30. The sirens made it impossible to sleep even though the room had finally cooled down. Would not stay again.
- Allen (10/5): - Comfortable stay
- Alhassan (10/5): - Samesun is a hostel. It has all the amenities one expect it to meet.I just spent a night and it is great experience being there, the calmness,serenity dinni g options is just great. Thank you
- n d (6/5): - Not good not bad
- Yiu Shun (6/5): - I have put my credit card on virtual long time ago, did not realise Canadian still rely on the plastic card. Staff here helped me to check in without the plastic card, which is really nice. But the living condition is little bit disappointing.
- Nitiksha (10/5): - The stay was comfortable. Bathroom’s hand dryer wasn’t working and neither there were paper towels, so that was a bit of an inconvenience. And there was a foul smell in the showers which would bother you a lot. There was a complementary breakfast every morning. It’s located exactly in the centre of the downtown, so there many homeless around the area but it was still safe, you just need to be careful. And of course there are many pubs and bars around and it's by the road, so you could expect noise. Just bring your ear plugs with you and you’ll be alright. One thing I loved was the little fan on each bed. Just by the switchboard of your bed, they have attached a little fan instead of just giving one big fan for all the beds like many other hostels. Overall, for the price, it’s really worth it.
- Chun On (6/5): - The breakfast was great. Can't complain.
- Aryan (8/5): - Really nice property.
- Jodi (10/5): Welcoming and Friendly Stay - Amazing Community feel where everyone, including the staff, treated me as family.
- Dajung (10/5): - everything was so smooth
- Vatsalkumar (10/5): - It's quite and friendly atmosphere
- Jeff (10/5): - I loved it and would def come back again. It’s located in the heart of downtown and it’s located near multiple different restaurants and entertainment options. The rooms and the sheets were clean and comfy and nice. The staff and the people staying there are generally kind and caring and made the experience a whole lot better. All for an amazing price you won’t find anywhere else in downtown Vancouver. 9/10 def.
- Leo Jr (10/5): - This hostel is perfect for backpackers cos of its ambiance, affordability, and it’s located at the heart of Vancouver. They have free guided tours everyday around Vancouver which is awesome! You’ll meet lovely people from around world. Definitely gonna come back soon👌💯
- Josue (10/5): -
- Cecile (4/5): - Too much noise until 1 am
- John Sanders (10/5): - would highly recommend - best run hostel I have ever seen - and will certainly book here on my next visit to Vancouver
- David (6/5): - We booked through an accommodation app and was not aware that it was a backpackers hostel, coming up when looking for a hotel. It was clean, the staff were pleasant, and there was a reasonable breakfast included. It was however noisy from other residents until about 1230pm and again for some coming back from a late night out around 4am, and there was the frequent whirring of the hand drier in the nearby toilet. Expensive for what it was, but far cheaper than anything else available!
- brent (8/5): - Pub was fun
- Tahari (10/5): Great to meet people and very affordable - Awesome location in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Great for just being able to meet new people. They ran free daily tours to various sites (pay only for transport) and Donny our guide was awesome. Breakfast ok but good if you don’t want to to venture out and just want a coffee and something light. Bathrooms are reasonably clean. Beds are a bit squeaky and pillow a bit small. But dorm room itself was fine and had more space than other places I’ve stayed. Front desk staff were all good. Bar downstairs also held a trivia and bingo events midweek so another good opportunity to have some drinks and socialise. Being able to store luggage after checkout was very convenient for my evening flight.
- Ryan (10/5): Amazing - It’s good for solo travellers to meet with people who are travelling. Great service, closer to a lot of things in downtown Vancouver, with Granville island you can take the bus. Overall the Hostel was amazing with breakfast and meet new people.
- ak (8/5): - Overall was great!
- Nitin (10/5): - 5 Stars
- Joey (2/5): - Well i didnt stay they want the credit card on my name but it was rent by my girl friend so they refuse me even after i offer 500$ cash deposit or another credit card
- Laura (8/5): - A solid hostel to stay in. The amenities are great and the staff is lovely. The rooms can feel cramped though even with just two bunk beds. The beds have individual blackout curtains though so privacy isn’t really an issue when you’re in your bed. Speaking of the beds, the pillows are next to nothing so bring something to bolster yourself up with. I wish extra pillows were offered since bringing a pillow to hostels is discouraged. I recommend a hefty towel, your coat or sweater to fold and place under the pillow. It makes for a lumpy sleep but it’s better than nothing. If it weren’t for this pillow issue, which I’ve had in the past staying at Samesun, I wouldn’t have complaints. The other issues like the uneven flooring in the hallways, the room size, the cramped feeling throughout are all just because of the age of the building. All in all, I recommend Samesun if you’re backpacking or just in need of a place to stay for the night if you’re from out of town and going to a concert or appointment in Vancouver.
- Meagan Alyshia (10/5): - The private bedroom was a good size and the bed was very comfortable! Having breakfast included was a great addition. Overall, the staff were friendly and we got to meet some awesome people. I will definitely come back if I make it back to Vancouver.
- Pedro (10/5): - My overall experience was good. The restrooms were clean. Decent breakfast. The staff need training. They were not friendly when asked questions. The only opportunity for improvement is to provide training for their staff on how to deal with multicultural people.
- Homer (10/5): - Breakfast, kitchen
- Betiana (6/5): - It's a okey hostel for young people
- Roxane (8/5): - The night clerk who checked me in was amazing! Very friendly, helpful, and a great sense of humour
- Verified traveler (6/5): Very intrusive despite being preachy about openess - They didnt allow you to put your sheets as privacy and air barrier citing it as tripping hazzard despite not hitting the floor or the ladder and despite other hostels having these curtains. I ended up having the flew.
- Garnet (10/5): - Easy check in and good location
- Shaurya (10/5): - Had a very good time good experience staff was amazing and helpful
- Richard (10/5): Best place in downtown Vancouver - Perfect location right on Granville Street, quick walk to train station, plenty of bars, clubs and restaurants, and the best bar/restaurant is in the hostel itself!
- Gengen (8/5): - At first i was hesitant to book this hostel but i booked it anyway for experience. And i was very satisfied. The room, washrooms, hallways are clean with no unpleasant smell. Staff are very friendly. I felt safe during my stay. Will book again for sure when i come back to VanCity by myself again.
- Freddy (8/5): - Good for short stay 👌
- Yan Hong (4/5): - I booked a shared room but upon arrival on the property, I checked the condition of the room & bed. Mattress is in terrible lumpy condition, so is the pillow. The bunk bed has very limited height space - normal height person can barely sit on the bed. Room is very small, not airy and the privacy curtain on each bed is poorly hanged. I decided to upgrade to a private room (no private bathroom) - front desk wrongly calculated to over $350 for two nights. I pointed out it's a room with no bathroom so it cannot be over $175 per night so an error should be corrected. The front desk recalculated it and made it to $268 for 2 nights. Still a hefty price for a room with bed only, no TV, a very noisy bar fridge (I had to unplug it in order to sleep quietly), vinyl window doesn't close completely so I can hear people yelling on the street at late night. Shared toilet / shower rooms are right across the narrow hall from this 'private' room - I hear door open close noise all day long till mid night then it starts again at 7am. The shared shower room has hair on the forever wet floor, one shower stall has no shampoo or soap, and shower stall space is very small. The breakfast serves till 9:30am then it becomes 'take away only' from 930 to 10am - which means taking away cold bagels only - but no one tells you this when you check in - so I came to breakfast at 930 and found out that no plates, no other food, and servers are busy 'taking away' jam and spreads from the counter!
- Orchi (10/5): -
- kailong (8/5): - Location is excellent
- scott (10/5): - Front checkin was excellent
- Catherine (8/5): first timers - This was our first time staying in a hostel. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. This place has A LOT of stairs, so if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage it could be an issue. We had a private room which was adequate and safe. We slept well. There were no noise issues and the shared bathrooms/showers were close and clean. The only that I think one should know is that the location feels a bit rough. Outside there is a lot of night life, homeless, and police presence. Once inside it is much nicer.
- BYOUNGRYOUL (10/5): - It was the first time experiencing the hostel because the unpresented snow storm in Vancouver. i got stranded in Vancouver and stayed 3 nights in Samesun hostel . To be honest, i was hesitating when I book it, because i have to share the room with people who i don't know. However, it was a really good experience that I will never forget it. It was great to know new people in there. staffs were amazing. Breakfast was fantastic, l Shower room & washroom that i most worried were very well organized and clean, well prepared. I want to recommand samesun hostel to anyone who are going to visit vancouver for a trip & likes to get to know new people.
- Marnel (8/5): - Affordable, safe, convenient. Easy to get to from the airport, with extra luggage storage area for your checked bag. Restaurant (bar) or shared kitchenette area for food right on the premises. Some background noise from bar and public spaces make it harder for light sleepers but roommates were all quiet
- Paul (8/5): - it was clean
- Eugene (8/5): - .
- Joshua (2/5): - Terrible service! This hostel is dirty, ugly, lots of stairs, and front desk will chase you out while hurling profanities at you. Avoid at all costs!!!
- Laura (8/5): - Friendly staff
- Robert (10/5): - It's a great place to stay
- Griffin (10/5): - Really nice staff, all the travelers staying were friendly, good Wi-Fi, good experience
- Mustafa (6/5): - It’s good if you’re on a budget. Good.. but not great
- Chau (8/5): - The private double room we had at this hostel was roomy, tidy and bright! We like the communal toilets and showers stalls across the hallway as they are completely enclosed individually with locking doors.
- Mauro (10/5): Safe and comfortable! - Fantastic, clean, welcoming. Great breakfast, awesome pub. Meet lots of new friends.
- Ujjoyinee (8/5): - Was there for two nights during the weekdays. The rooms are small but the bed are insanely comfy, I slept pretty well and didn’t hear too much outside noise. The washroom were okay but the showers were fairly clean and it was great that it had all the toiletries installed. Everyone from the staff team are nice as well. Would stay again!
- Blair (10/5): I'd stay here again - My first experience in a hostel. Guests were quiet and friendly, there was a locker in the room and secure luggage storage. I didn't have time to enjoy the free basic breakfast but did make an effort to take advantage of the happy hour. Good food, excellent staff and clean facilities.
- Neil (8/5): - Samesun is located in a central location that is walkable to many tourist sites in Vancouver. The main issues that I had was that there was no elevator and that it can get noisy if your room is at the front of the property.
- Yibin (10/5): - cleaner than expected
- Boj (8/5): - Located at the heart of downtown—makes it convenient traveling to/walking to Robson St, Rogers Arena, Granville Island, etc from the hostel. Staff were very kind and friendly. Free breakfast offered from 8–10am. Bathrooms and toilets were cleaned daily, towels were offered at no extra cost. And the bathing areas weren't just the showers themselves, but also had ample space to hang toiletries on and dress afterwards. Bunk beds were comfy, each one having three sockets, a night lamp, and a mini-fan. Wi-Fi was very reliable. One minor qualm was that our room had a fan, but no socket to plug it into, which kinda defeats the purpose of having it there. Stayed for three nights in the summer, so a strong working fan would've made for more comfortable sleeping. Otherwise, everything was great! And all guests and staff are diverse, so one shouldn't feel wary about sticking out like a sore thumb! Samesun comes in highly recommended if you need a place to stay while you're in Vancouver.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very small rooms and common area. Loud room to the street. Toilets far away at end of hallway
- Neil (6/5): - Samesun Vancouver is close to many of the sites in Vancouver, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The main downside is the noise, especially if you’re room is at the front of the hostel.
- chris (8/5): - Very unique area and good restaurants close by.
- Nicole (10/5): Perfect stay! - Lovely and clean stay! Friendly staff and very helpful. The tour guides were lovely for the extra activities if one wanted to participate. Breakfast was enough and the downtown noise should be expected by anyone staying downtown. Would definitely recommend of traveling solo and wanting to have some interaction with others.
- Gemma (4/5): - Dirty, noisy and very old.
- Morgan (10/5): - This place is awesome, if you're the sort of traveler who doesn't mind sharing a (co-ed) bedroom and (locking) washrooms. Excellent free breakfast, all-you-can-eat. Very easy to make friends with interesting adventurous people from all over the world. Fun neighborhood too, especially Saturday nite.
- JUN HYOK (8/5): - Wonderful hostel
- Ralph (6/5): - It wasn’t what we thought it would be. Dark and dreary place in bad area of city. Priced way to high for what you got which was a bed only. Don’t like sharing a bathroom for that price when we paid for private room. Didn’t feel safe in this area.
- Edgel Earl (10/5): - Love their breakfast.
- Carlos (10/5): - It was great
- Liza (10/5): - Suit for solo backpackers
- Nicole (10/5): Fab hostel! - Comfortable, clean, and plenty of help when needed from hostel staff!
- Luisa (8/5): - I like the fact that they have complimentary breakfast. Also, very nice staff and service.
- Ann (10/5): - As a solo traveller staying at a good hostel like Samesun makes life just a bit better. The staff, the accommodations (note ... if you don't like noise, avoid rooms over the bar area if you are a light sleeper .. or bring ear plugs). The kitchen that we all share is fantastic and you might even have a mini pot luck with sharing!
- Jeffrey (2/5): - This property is HORRIBLE value for the money. I had to pay $180/one night in this hole of a place…..the area surrounding the hostel looks and feels like Baghdad. The staff at the hostel thought they were cool dudes and provided little to no customer service. I hated staying in this property and will NEVER do so again. Pay the extra $20-$30 and stay in a real hotel where you actually feel safe, trust me
- Edwin (10/5): - Great staff, friendly guests, would recommend and stay there again. Heads up the area around the hotel seems to be in transition: lots of new restaurants (e.g. Jollybee), but also some sketchy characters walking around. Wouldn't say dangerous, but good to stay alert.
- TOYOSHIMA (10/5): - Everything was excellent! We could have a free breakfast every day. It is located on Granvil St so it is so easy to go anywhere. Besides, all staffs are kind. The best condo ever in Vancouver.
- Kristin (10/5): - It was clean and I felt safe.
- Mouhamed (8/5): Cool - Only for one night but definitely down to come over again
- Charles (10/5): - It was good
- Sudheesh (10/5): - Excellent
- sueann (8/5): - In the heart of Vancouver downtown Easy access, quiet and friendly staffs.
- Abdu (10/5): - everything was great
- Annie (8/5): - na
- Mohamed (10/5): - Good
- Daniel (10/5): Dv stay - It’s decent to stay.. security is good. there I are 2 things which bother me and these are not having AC in our room, the one the my have installed wasn’t working.. and cleaning of the washrooms and common areas
