Just needed a bed and a bathroom for the night. Totally adequate for a simple stay. The host at the front counter was pleasant and helpful at check in

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.

I booked a queen size bedroom, which was the same as description and photo from the platform. It feels very vintage indeed, I felt welcome and comfortable during my stay. However, I think the main entrance should be fixed as it bangs so loud whenever someone in and out, which was very disturbing especially at late night and early morning. The other thing to be caution about is the wash basin in room, if someone next door use faucet for long time, your wash basin will fill up with water as well due to drainage problems. It happened to me one night and I need to stop next door from using the water for too long, I told Jake about this, hope they will fix this problem. Location is great, near two skytrain stations, as well as Gas Town. Very high accessibility to every attractions. However, every night at 9 or passed 9, there were always be a group of people partying hard (not sure it was homeless or drug addicts). They played music on speakers and scream sometimes, which I could not blame the hostel of course, but this is what you might concern about before booking for your stay. Overall, this hostel was not bad, but I might not stay there again.

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.

Staying at the St. Claire Hostel was such a dreadful experience that I feel morally obligated to warn others. My room was at least 80°F (27°C) all night with zero air conditioning, and the whole building was a sauna. They gave me a duct-taped fan that barely worked, and I had to choose between suffocating or opening a window with no screen and letting in bugs. There were only two outlets in the room, so you get to pick between your fan and your phone. And forget sleep: the room had an interior window that opened to a hallway light that stayed on all night, making it impossible to rest. The bed was a joke. I’m 6’1” (1.85m) and literally couldn’t fit — my feet had to stick through the bars of the footboard just to lie flat. The mattress was paper-thin, the frame squeaked with every breath, and the pillows might as well be cardboard. To top it off, there were food wrappers under the dresser from the last guest, and the ceiling was literally falling apart. The shared bathrooms were the final insult. The showers reeked of cat urine, bugs crawled across the whole bathroom, and mold was growing visibly on the ceilings, windows, vents, and walls. I never once felt clean during my entire stay. This place is unhygienic, unsafe, and unacceptable. Bottom line: I don’t care how cheap it is. Sleep anywhere else. Sleep in your car. Sleep on a park bench. Just don’t stay at the St. Claire Hostel unless you want your vacation hindered.

Quartos sujos e velhos. Nas dependências comuns(copa) havia lixeiras repletas de lixo que nunca foram retiradas durante nossa estadia. As instalações são precárias e muito antigas, o hotel precisa de uma grande reforma.
