What guests think
Across reviews, Vancouver Backpacker House - 10 min walk to Metrotown skytrain station is a budget, hostel-style stay with simple shared facilities, generally clean spaces, and a convenient, quiet location near Metrotown transit, restaurants, and shopping.
Most guests praise quick, helpful communication and smooth self check-in, with late arrivals accommodated. Many also appreciate feeling safe and finding comfortable beds for a good rest. Downsides include occasional messy or dusty areas, ants or odd smells, and sporadic issues like noise in some rooms, very large dorms, or equipment not working (e.g., AC or hot water). Expect straightforward, no-frills lodging with easy access to transit.

The Backpacker house, is literally someone’s house. Beds were basically on the floor. We were told larger lockers would be in the dorm of sharing 5 people, there were no lockers in the room, they were all downstairs. I therefore spent more on the room for no benefit. You have to walk past some sketchy areas to get there. If you do not have a cell phone you cannot check in as it is done by text. Bathrooms were fine.

Lovely quiet neighbourhood. I slept very well every night. Train station, bus stops, a mall, and many lovely cafes and restaurants within a fifteen minute walk. No front desk, everything done over messenger apps, but the response time was very quick and the owner was helpful. You need $1 coins to use the washer/dryers.

Unfortunately, our experience staying at this property was highly disappointing. The cost of 344 CAD per night does not match the quality of the conditions. The room was in the basement with dusty floors, no hot water in the shower, and the shared shower and toilet were dirty. The noise insulation was so poor that every step from the tenants above was very loud. We also did not receive a positive response from the host to our inquiries. I do not recommend this place for staying.

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.

A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places. The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp. I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.

Excellent option for late arrivals in Vancouver! I traveled from Ontario to attend a sporting event and arrived in Vancouver around 10:30 PM. I had a terrible experience in the past with another place that didn’t allow check-ins after 11 PM — I lost my money and had to find a hotel at the last minute. Thankfully, this time was completely different! The host was very understanding, and the late check-in went smoothly. This kind of flexibility is incredibly important for those coming from far away and arriving late at night. The place was very well-organized, clean, and cozy. The beds were neatly made with clean sheets and comfortable pillows. The environment was quiet and welcoming — perfect for resting after a long day of travel or work. I highly recommend this place, especially for anyone who needs flexible check-in hours. I’ll definitely stay here again next time!

The room was kind of messy and not completely clean. Cobwebs in the closet for example. Some of the bathrooms were better kept than others. Overall an okay place to stay short-term or if you do mind a messy area. Service was good and easy to communicate with.

The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

This was my first time staying in a shared property kind of location. The first night was a tad noisy with people returning late and but I was able to reach out to the property managers who were able to control the people who didn’t realize it was 2 am in the morning. It’s an ideal place for younger crowd who want to have a place and travel and sight see rest of the day. What is amazing the people who run this place will respond to any queries any time day or night.

Lovely quiet neighbourhood. I slept very well every night. Train station, bus stops, a mall, and many lovely cafes and restaurants within a fifteen minute walk. No front desk, everything done over messenger apps, but the response time was very quick and the owner was helpful. You need $1 coins to use the washer/dryers.

Our stay at the Vancouver Backpackers near Metrotown was great! Checking in was easy, the room was all we needed, the location was so easy for us to take the Sky Train into the city and it was nice and quiet for sleeping. We did not use the kitchen but it looked well equipped.

I am always nervous about staying in Hostels, but this was a great location! The common rooms were clean and well organized, the host was responsive, helpful, and friendly, and the place was a short walk from great food and public transport. I enjoyed my stay here thoroughly!

A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places. The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp. I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.

Budget friendly and convenient. Quite close to Metrotown translink which connect you to Vancouver downtown. Clear instructions, which is really good.
