Reviews of St Clair Hostel

The location is really good and the room is comfortable and clean, we stayed for a few nights before flying back home, it's close to the waterfront and shops so easy to be able to get around. Having a sink in the room is actually really handy.

During the night, outside can get very noisy, but that comes with every city. The rooms get VERY hot so definitely invest in a fan if you're staying here.

It was very clean and you felt safe

the only thing I didn’t like was how Hot it was, and I know it’s not your guys fault and it’s an old building but you had fans so that helped a lot too!!!

Too hot, fan kept breaking

location

People at the reception are very friendly. However, there is no air conditioner, and most importantly, no window screens, so mosquitoes would happily enter and bite people in summer. Hope they could improve them.

Location and staff

The squeaky beds No trash container in the room

The hotel is a history building - built on 1911. The rooms are clean. The showers and toilets are shared, but they are clean enough. Because the building is old, you might not feel like staying in a deluxe hotel - but it is a good experience.

The room was sometimes very hot - probably because it is on the top floor and lack of insulation. There was a fan in the room, which was helpful.

The location was central and convenient to Gastown and lot of places in the CBD. It's a heritage building with a lot of its original fittings, so is a bit cheaper.

It's an old building so a lot of areas are in need of some TLC. The sheets were very threadbare and some of the locks were difficult to turn.

My room was nice, and I was happy to have a sink in my room and a comfortable bed.

Vancouver had a heat wave while I was there. And my room was particularly hot because I had two large windows facing south. I struggled to cool the room with the fan, but this is no failing on the part of the property, just unfortunate weather.

Fridge far too small. Shower floor very slippery. No real cooking facilities apart from one microwave. I was paying around $275.00 a night for a second grade hostel. I would never recommend this place.

The code out the front that stopped working at one time.

Room wasn’t clean at all. So bad we bought our own sheets and pillowcases from a home store due to very obvious stains of fluids. Floors were also very dusty and our door probably could have been opened with a small push as it was barely hanging on.
