This an affordable option for a short stay. The university grounds are beautiful. Very easy to access Wreck Beach and city buses. Tons of hot water available. Kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave in the kitchen. Lots of restaurants, yoga studio, gym close by. However the markets are very expensive so you’ll want to pick up any groceries at a proper grocery store.

I needed affordable, long term, on campus to be close to classes, and it was so enjoyable. The property checked off all my needs, and because of that I did not leave the property on weekends for hotels because it was the quiet serenity where I was. 10/10.

Great value and comfy room.

Great stay at the university student residence halls while the university is closed for the summer. The room had everything you would need. A comfy bed, good towels and a decent amount of space too. The showers are shared but split into women / men only by floors. Good hot water and water pressure. Kitchen was useful if you needed to heat something or make tea/coffee etc. The campus is stunning and close to Wreck Beach which is worth a trip for sunset. Incredibly good value for money. Would stay again if came at the same time of year.

I personally like its proximity to the beach, and it being at UBC meant more secluded and quieter space, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Amenities were really nice, though they ran out of hand soap in 2 of their sinks in the washroom. Common dining hall is quite small.

Smell really bad

The service and location are good. The room is not bad - unless the smell. Feels like the room was moldy, the smell was so strong, uncomfortable to stay inside and sleep.

Very satisfying stay.

My stay was over the summer so it was quite peaceful and quiet. The rooms and buildings were kept lovely and clean. Dispite the age of the buildings the washrooms were updated and kept especially clean.The grounds were also well kept. I did miss not having outdoor furniture to relax outside but I do understand why there isn't. My only disappointment was not getting clean towels and facecloth for 4 day visit.

Great hostel option. You're staying in the UBC dorms with access to laundry, a kitchen with microwave, fridge, and hot water kettle. Location is extremely convenient. I also found it quiet and clean.

Budget Friendly accommodation

The property is not technically a hostel in my opinion. It is a university dorm (UBC). The main difference that I felt with a hostel was that this was individual single bed rooms with share washrooms/kitchens. I didn't see much of travellers vibe hanging together, altbough there was places for it either in the main lobby or in individual buildings. However, having said this, the property was reasonably priced in the over-priced city of Vancouver. So, if you are on a budget and don't mind an hour commute to get to downtown, this is a nice place to try. Very close to the beach, and also within 15 minutes walk to several eateries.
