Vancouver Hotel Tips by hokeypokey

members pay 16$ per night linen included.

Unique Qualities: Itīs in Kitsilano quite a way from city center. But who cares. From that location you have a wonderful view and during summer just the best thing that could ever happen: a beach. The staff, according to my experiences was very helpful and friendly. Linen is provided and, as it happened to me, if you forgot to do your purchase you can at least buy milk or a snack/dinner like Noodles and some other groceries at the front desk. They also rent bicycles so that woul dbe a great way to discover the city especially if you wanna go see Stanley Park. Internet access is also available at 2$ per 20 mins.
The hostel runs a free shuttle between the HI Jericho Beach, the HI Vancouver downtown and the Pacific Central Station where Greyhound, Pacific Coach Lines, VIA Rail and i guess some other companies leave from.

Theme: Hostel

Directions: Itīs in Kitsilano. I think the street was calles Marine Drive, not too far from the UBC.
Take bus #4 from anywhere on Granville Street downtown. That takes you almost right to the hostel and runs ever

Though I'm actually a budget traveller I had to stay here for business purposes.
It's just about 3 minutes from bustling Robson Street and Stanley Park is also just around the corner, as well as almost everything else.
Even the ferry across the inlet is right there, so you can easily cross over for a hike in the mountains.
This hotel has about everything, a hotel has to offer. Including a fitness center and a pool and sauna. I don't think I have to mention Restaurants and Cafes or anything alike.

Unique Qualities: Half of the rooms at this hotel have an amazing view. Just open the curtains and there you have the inlet, Stanley Park and the mountains all together. You can spend hours just watching this scenery or people walking, running and skating along the water front.
