Really nice vibe at the bar! With a free beer or glass of wine every evening We were in a private room so it was very convenient

Stayed in August 2025

The room was extremely small for 4 persons. The bathrooms didn’t seem to be cleaned really well and there was no shower mat anywhere.

Breakfast and dinner are included which was really nice. Very central also, easy to visit Victoria from this place.

Price was too much for dormitory accommodation

Overall good

Breakfast was not high quality. Bread was only white and felt stale to me with only low quality whiteners and no actual milk for the entire stay. The day I checked out I saw milk put with the tea/coffee station. Not sure if it was put after my feedback or something else. Also, anyone who ends up being on the top bunker please note there are no table/chairs in the room so when you come in room you're either on the bed or outside. I did not have any space to even look at my stuff or keep it somewhere while working on it. Lastly, solo travelers need to be mindful of which streets they take as some parts of the area see many people without homes moving and sleeping and drug issues.

The facility was secured and cleanliness was ensured. Dinners were good. The bedding was nice. Each bed has its own fan and light with a wooden plank to organize your stuff along with a dedicated cupboard and shelf which can be locked by borrowing the lock from the reception for a deposit. That along with towel and other things could also be taken for a deposit which will be returned. That was a really nice feature . East access to transportation as well as walkable

The premises need renovation, there are a lot of homeless people and drug addicts around, which spoils the overall impression of the hostel's location.

Good price, good breakfast and dinner with one free drink. Very nice staff. Bed with a good mattress and clean linen.

Room was very small for 4 people. Not much space to put your belongings. When I arrived the temps had been very hot so the room was quite hot. Fortunately temps did cool off.

Breakfast and dinner were included. Many choices for breakfast food, Kitchen was very clean and well maintained. The common rooms were nice and people were friendly. Staff was helpful in answering questions.

Breakfast and dinner were more than adequate ! Appreciate that each bed has a curtain, plug point and light. Lockers really well sized.

We paid 3x more than another guest because we didn’t book very far in advance. That’s just the way it is in Victoria, but I wouldn’t pay that much again. I’d probably stay a little further away from the city center. There was one guest who was fairly obnoxious and she sort of sucked the oxygen out of whatever room she was in. I feel like the staff should have been empowered to tell her to cool it.

Location was very good for walking, but be aware there are quite a few unhoused folk that linger in the area. I liked the communal spirit and the fact there were all ages there, not just college aged backpackers. Even though our private room was very spare, we slept extremely well. There was never a problem getting a bathroom. The dinner was a nice addition.

3rd flr room with no elevator. I'm a senior and unable to carry luggage up three floors. Shared bathroom had mildew and black mold. Hair left in my bed...slept on top instead of in bed! Breakfast wasn't opened on time, and minimum - no milk/cream for coffee or cereal. Toasters didn't work. Unsecured and small.parking lot behind the hostel.

Friendly staff, lots of info regarding Victoria, happy hour.

The prices for hostels in Canada are unrealistic. Even with the extras It doesn´t makes sense to pay that much for a bunk.

Breakfast was unconventional, nevertheless I was satisfied and there was plenty. The free drink at the bar was a nice touch. There could be more improvements with the room ventilation.

Noise from the bar downstairs (stops at 11pm), very hot in the top bunk bed, could be a little cleaner

I like that the beds have curtains so you have some privacy, slept well, big lockers, central location, friendly staff

Walkable distance from the port. Good kitchen facilities.

For two people we only had one set of keys and a key is needed for everything. Happy for the security of double locks though as there were just so many homeless on Pandora street.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The washroom outside our room was almost like having an onsuite; very handy and good shower. It was walking distance to the city charms.

room was tiny, the location is in an area that is central but I felt uneasy

they have the usual breakfast options in hostels, offering dinner too but I didn't use it, the staff was lovely

I had a room w a sink, and there was a significant smell coming from under the sink. No visible source. No benefit to having the sink given how plentiful the washrooms are - so would recommend getting a room without a sink.

Staff helpful, friendly; great location; bathrooms plentiful and clean
