The location of the hotel is fantastic, as it is close to downtown and the waterfront, making it easy to explore the city. It is also easily accessible from the airport.
The noise from the bar attached to the hostel can make it difficult to sleep at night.

As a solo traveler exploring the city, I had a fantastic stay at Cambie Hostel Gastown. The hotel takes security seriously with a 24-hour front desk and key entry. The location is perfect for exploring Gastown and downtown, with easy connections to the rest of the city. Despite being an old establishment, the hotel is well-maintained, and the bar and food are excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I had great roommates in the female dorm. The hotel is kept clean and fresh every day, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Would recommend this hotel.

The staff was helpful and the hotel was well-maintained. The bar and food were great, and the location in downtown Gastown was perfect for exploring the nightlife. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage options, and the hostel cat, Oreo, was a delightful addition to my stay. The hostel also had laundry facilities and good Wi-Fi.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more!

The bar serves great food and beer at reasonable prices. The hostel even has a lovely cat to keep you company. The bustling area is full of attractions, restaurants, and shops, making it the perfect base for exploration.

The hostel is conveniently located close to the city center and downtown, making it a great base for exploring. The reviews mention that it is close to the cruise terminal, which is a bonus for travelers looking to embark on a cruise. The location is also mentioned as being in a cool industrial building, adding to its unique charm.
One negative aspect mentioned in the reviews is the noise. The bar underneath the hostel can get loud, especially during events like beer pong tournaments.

I recently stayed at The Cambie Hostel Gastown for a show and had a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the pub on-site was great with delicious food and a friendly bartender. The location was perfect, just a few steps away from the venue. I also loved that the hostel had a resident cat on the first floor, it was adorable to see how they adopted an animal. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped for preparing meals. Plus, they even sold Doritos at the front desk!
