This is a great new hostel that was built as athlete housing for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Beds in clean and quiet 4 person dorm rooms go for about $30 CAN per night. Great kitchen and common areas with a cafe on the main floor that does breakfast and lunch. The hostel is a little ways outside of the Whistler... More

I had a great stay in Jan 2012, front desk staff were more than helpful, Al was great. Clean hostel, comfortable beds, I was able to get a good night sleep. Rooms all have bathrooms with showers, some bathrooms are shared between 2 dorms. Lockers in the rooms are a good size and allow you to safely charge your electronics.... More

We got a private room for ourselves and 13 month old baby. The room was fine and very clean. It was near the end of a hall. despite this, our sleep was regularly interrupted by very excitable youngsters who were returning from their night out, at 2.30-6am. The communal areas were good, albeit a bit cramped compared to many other... More

Hi, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to read there were some issues with your stay. It is unfortunate that we failed to have our quiet hours respected the night you stayed with us, we will work with our night personnel to ensure that we minimize noise levels overnight. I will definitely look into our kitchen equipment, thanks... More

Excellent hostel! Modern, clean, comfortable. Couldn't ask for much more. The only drawback is that it is a little out of the way, but the bus system is easy to use. More

I stayed at the Whistler hostel from Sept. 26th to Sept. 29th, 2011. After a two night stay in a private room, I discovered I was getting bitten by bed bugs. They transferred me to another room. My biggest fear was bringing the bed bugs home with me. My other fear was my health though the bites are considered harmless. More

Thank you for the feedback. Immediately after you notified us of your concerns, we had the room in question thoroughly cleaned and treated for bed bugs. Bed bugs are unfortunately carried all over the world by unsuspecting travelers, and there is no way to prevent them. Recognizing that this is a serious problem in many parts of the world, including... More

Futhermore there is a huge kitchen you can use. There is no complimentary breakfast. Either you buy something and store it in one of the... More

This hostel is really nice, clean and friendly with great new kitchen and living room, nice TV room and friendly staff. The rooms are pretty small (4 bed) so you're not stuck in massive dorms, and there are no sneaky extra charges for towls etc. The only problem is that it's a 20 minute bus ride from town and busses...

My cross-Canada trip led me here. I was originally going to stay only three days. Well, it has been a week and a half so far and I have another week booked. This place is great. Dorms have two bunk beds for four people. Each two dorm rooms share one toilet, one shower and two sinks. It isn’t too much... More
