Bare-bones (as expected from the price), but honest and clean.

Host was responsive and friendly (via text message), room was clean, great price, good location.

The self-service lockbox was physically hard to open — it took me several minutes of trying (even with the correct PIN) before I was able to get it to open.

It did what it needed to do.

We did our own meal prep from groceries we had purchased.

For a backpacking trip, it was O.K.

The worst of the worst, NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

Nothing, it was really bad looking

House and rooms were in a really poor condition. There were people having sex and you could hear them as there is NO PRIVACY AT ALL. In addition, for some reason, the owner of the hostel decided to cancel the reservation through the website so he could charge me separately and avoid the fees from the website, this made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe about my banking information. This place was the worst.

Poor

Overall is clean. Close to Mall and the Sky train

No personal staff, no toiletries, no towels, plastic cabinet, no chairs only cheap table, no tourist brochure, shared bathroom no lock, they allowed only 2 hrs. Storage if you exceed they charge per luggage 5 dollar per hour, 100 dollar deposit.

Bad

The host was nice, the staff have lied and manipulated everyone to think she is doing thjs

They didn't give us our security deposit back because of a stain that was already on the bed when we got there !!! The cleaner is a liar and we are completely frustrated about this.

I had no problem with the other occupants, however there were bugs and lack of cleanliness

i didnèt know there was breakfast available, was never mentioned

there were silver fish, i stayed in two rooms the first wedged between the kitchen and a bathroom, the skytrain station was within earshot. moved on 2nd day to a room with a window that opened onto the livingroom so there was nooooooo fresh air. the sheets were not the cleanest. in the first room it was almost as if they hadn't been changed. the second room there was still enough stuff on the top sheet i had to shake it off before using it.

A cheap place to sleep.

It was conveniently located to the place I needed to attend. The staff were accommodating.

The smell of the 25 pairs of shoes on the rack at the door.

Cheap rooms means cheap for a reason.. be careful.

Not sleeping outside.

I didn't like the sketchy people staying there. Bad vibes all round. The bed I slept in was stained with someone else's blood.. I needed to check out early but wasn't allowed because of a rediculess "no cancellation policy." Seriously, the event I was traveling to Vancouver for, was cancelled, so I needed to check out one day early, but was told absolutely not by the owners..They literally forced me to stay there, or loose the money I paid already.. The location was also hard to find, which should have equaled less sketchyness but the opposite was the case. I will never stay there again..

Not for the faint hearted but great for economy if that's what you're into!

This has to be the cheapest place a backpacking family in Vancouver could stay. We had flight issues so needed something fast. Comms on WhatsApp were quick. 5 of us were jammed in a medium sized room with toilet attached. Good for hardened backpackers like us...don't expect much!

Kitchen is pretty bad and needs a few new things to make it useful. The oven/cooktop was terrible but we made it work for us. Only one shower/bathroom on our level. Lots of rules!

A week in Burnaby

Free street parking, was able to resolve issues when checking in with staff via phone. Door locks on all doors plus room doors with your own access codes. Come and go as you please. Will stay there again, great staff.

Check in process has changed from previous stays, however staff were accommodating.

Not fancy but adequate for a very short stay.

My teen son and I only stayed in the room overnight after an evening sporting event. It was basic and met our needs.

There were no places nearby to purchase food (no stores or restaurants).

Passable

He declined payment after they sent a message about payment options, plus100 $ deposit and a payment fee 6% which is not mentioned on the booking website also he communicates only by SMS, not a phone call. the room is too small. The check-in is after 4 pm before that time he charges extra.
