Reasonable sized room, but bed was very low to the ground and mattress was not comfortable. No air conditioning - just a fan.

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.

Somewhat impersonal. No food easily obtained nearby. Sense that some were using it as a dorm.

Great hotel in Whistler friendly to your pocket and super easy to access! The staff is helpful and kind, the cafeteria offers several options for breakfast/lunch, the kitchen is well equipped so you can cook your own meals. I stayed in a private room and it was pretty confortable and clean :)

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.

Prooetty is simple yet clean. No airconditioner but there is an electric fan. No amenities in the bathroom except a liquid soap. Bed is low with thin mattress. It is a hostel so price is affordable but dont expect hotel features.

Maybe I should give it a higher rating. I didn't know I was reserving a hostel. Then again, it should have been more clear that it was a hostel.
