    I had an amazing time in this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of all the fun and nightlife. Plus, it was conveniently close to the SkyTrain station, making it easy to explore the city. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a fully equipped kitchen that had everything I needed, including pots, spices, and even a little oven. The free breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Nothing at all.

    I had an amazing stay at Samesun! The warm welcome I received at check-in made me feel right at home. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was a great size, providing plenty of room for everyone. The free breakfast was a delicious bonus, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The location was excellent, allowing me to easily explore nearby attractions like England Bay, Stanley Park, and the Waterfront. Despite a couple of small additions that could be helpful in the kitchen, the entire hostel was super clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms were decent and I always had access to a hot shower. The luggage store was also secure and well-organized. The only minor drawback was the noise from the street and sitting area, but luckily, the surrounding area had plenty of bars to enjoy. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Samesun for a short stopover in Vancouver!

    The hostel is conveniently located near Lynn Canyon park, making it easy to explore the natural beauty of the area. It is also close to the main attractions in the city, allowing guests to easily visit popular sites. Additionally, the Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain station is within walking distance, providing convenient access to public transportation. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with amenities such as fans, lamps, and shelves for added convenience.

    The noise from the bar downstairs can be disruptive, especially for those staying in rooms closer to the bar area.

    The hostel is located right in the heart of Downtown Vancouver which is great for exploring the city. The rooms have lockers and comfy beds which gave me a good night's rest. The staff were very helpful with recommendations on what to do in the city.

    The breakfast provided only included carbs which was a bit disappointing.

    The value for money at this hostel is amazing and the rooms are super comfortable with soft beds and cool cubby beds. The location is perfect, right in downtown and within walking distance to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my stay more fun.

    Breakfast selection could be improved with more options or variety.
