The best things are it's cheap price, helpful staff, and beautiful setting. On the down side the University is a huge campus with no transport across, you basically have to walk across it, say 20 minutes from the Uni bus station to the hall of residence that is the hostel. Also the University is about 40 minutes away from the city centre, but the walk and the bus journey were worth it for the beauty and quietude of the place which is close to pacific ocean and wreck beach

The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were clean. The bathroom had 4 showers but 2 of them had disgusting black stuff covering the floors. Didnt go in to investigate further. The kitchen was well equipt and clean. The laundry was well maintained and clean. The only downside was our room smelt of stale urine.

The place was quite decent for the price and the surrounding area very quiet in the summer. Not only it was the most affordable I could find but with the short time I had to book they still had rooms available. The room overall was quite clean, no issues there. My main thing was that the main stairs smelled like urine. Also, the shower stalls could use at least one more hook to put towel and other items while one is showering. Staff were very friendly and quite helpful.

UBC has brilliantly double functioned its dorms as a hostel in summertime with fairly reasonable rates, cost of parking could have been a little less.. The students were just graduating when I stayed and still it was remarkably quiet! It was lovely to see that a towel and toiletries were provided. The coffee in the morning was a nice touch and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness blew me away, I'm a janitor by trade and of course notice when lodging is not cleaned properly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. it would have been nice if there were a couple more hooks for items in the shared shower areas. The paper towel dispenser may have been due to be replaced but very small things.
