What guests think

At HI Whistler - Hostel, travelers find a generally clean, budget base with friendly staff, a large shared kitchen, and hostel-style simplicity, while its out-of-village setting and frequently uncomfortable, basic mattresses mean the experience prioritizes value over plush comforts.

Buses connect to Whistler Village and Creekside, but several guests felt a car was helpful and nearby dining options are limited. Rooms are simple and functional, with no air conditioning mentioned by multiple reviewers. The on-site cafe and restaurant are convenient for meals, and parking is available on-site though a few found it limited or inconvenient at times. A practical choice for budget travelers comfortable with a hostel setting away from the village.

I like the room's tidy and clean, the kitchen is in the 2nd floor, but serve from 9am to 4pm which may not be convenience for the late arrival guest, and the kettle for boiling water is a bit dirty need to be cleaned.

Parking is a joke, be back before 5pm otherwise you will have to park in a public lot a few blocks down the road.

This hostel hotel is managed well, front desk staff nice and kind. It has a large full equipped kitchen, a large sitting area….onsite restaurant for breakfast and dinner in very reasonable price. Night time is very quiet, guests are friendly as well. Onsite outdoors parking, 8 mins drive to creekside village gondola. We took bus $2.50 pp and leave the car at hotel parking since creekside parking filled up quickly on weekends before 7:30am. Overall, a decent place to stay for Whistler trip. Will come back again!

impossible de trouver des logements à des prix décents à Whistler et autres petites villes attenantes. Nous avons donc choisi cette chambre privée dans l'auberge de jeunesse. Cétait donc une auberge de jeunesse. notre chambre était fonctionnelle sans service avec le strict minimum. mais nous n'avons pas eu de bruit et nous avons pu nous garer facilement. le petit déj on a pris un café et une formule panini petit déj très bien à un prix intéressant.

Property is very minimalistic to a fault. Mattress is like a pad or futon. Smells somewhat funky. No cancellation policy even for emergencies is not customer oriented and clearly shows they know they don’t have a product people want. It’s a hostel so don’t book if you aren’t a spring chicken.

Premium room but couldn’t sleep the whole night. It could have been my 6pm coffee, but it is more likely the thin mattress, the sound from heat pump and the youth activities in the middle of the night.

The kitchen was appreciated as I needed to process some huckleberries before taking them across through to the US border. Bed was super firm (not much give at all) and fairly uncomfortable. Out the back door was bunch of pot smokers at night. My wife had to go around to the front to avoid the stench. The smoking area should be an area for smoking not for a pot smokers party area.
