Stayed here for a couple nights vacation in Vancouver. Nice location in downtown, close to restaurants and shops. As a "hostel," the amenities are a bit spare, but it's a good value if all you really need is a place to sleep and store your belongings while exploring the city. One caution is that the entrance stairs are narrow and steep which can be a complication with your luggage or if you have mobility issues.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's a really central location, bathrooms were clean and the room had a sink in it which was great! The only thing we didnt like was that the bottom bunkbed was broken and when they fixed it, the slats/base was put together wrong, which made the mattress/surface uneven, with a bar in the middlenof the bed and a dip on the other. We moved the bed and put the mattress on the floor for the second night and our sleep was great then

The building is old and my expectation doesnt met its beautiful in the picture but in reality it wasnt cleaning stuff is not in a proper stock room you can see it everywhere and they didn't clean the rooms since we stay at the place, staff are nice infront of the building are scattered the homeless so we need to be careful. We arrived late and we depart earlier than the days it would be because of our flight schedule. Hope the owner of the place should give attention to all the details. Like the cleanliness when you enter the facility its smelly and you can see the used linens at the hallway and its kind of eyesoar and not good for the eyesight and it should not be out at the hallway since there are cleaners at the day may e the guest can leave it as is inside the room.

Everything was fine at this simple, affordable hostel, the only thing, they need to clean more hallways and dust. They are well located in downtown. They have there, towels, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, liquid dish soap, cutlery, crockery, cups, glasses washing and dryer machine.

Great hostel!

St Clair is perfect for an urban hostel. I booked a private room with a queen bed for one night in April. The systems worked smoothly for check-in (door codes, wi-fi, etc.) and check out. The room was clean and neat, with a comfortable bed - more comfortable than I imagined! It matches what you're looking for in budget private room in a larger hostel. The place was overall very quiet and relaxed. I had a room facing the street and I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the environment was. Yes, you can hear the street but it was not intrusive the night I was there. There was no noise from within the hotel. Surely, April is a down time compared to summer and holidays, but overall this place was calm and quiet. The bathroom stalls down the hall worked great and were clean. I did feel the shower's tiled floor could have been cleaner but again it's not a luxury hotel it's a hostel! Good water pressure and hot water! The sink in my room worked great.
