Rough Guide
"Canada’s biggest HI hostel, located 20min southwest of Downtown, has a superb and safe position surrounded by Jericho Beach lawns."
Time Out
"Only open May-Sept, this HI is the most interesting in terms of architecture (ex barracks) and location (on the beach), although it is far from the centre of town (and any amenities)." Full review
Lonely Planet
"One of Canada's largest hostels looks like a Victorian hospital from the outside but has a great location if you're here for the sun-kissed Jericho Beach vibe." Full review
Frommer's
"Most of the rooms are dorms, with simple pine bunk beds and shared bathrooms. But bedding is provided, and it’s clean, well-maintained, and safe. There’s a cafe that serves simple food" Full review

"Whirlpool, lap pool, sauna and treadmills - all at an affordable price and, what's more, in the centre of town." Full review
Star Service
"Unlike the true boutique-hotels in town, including the mediocre Moda and fine Hotel Listel, this place has a rater banal ambience that suits business travelers better than romantics and vacationers." Full review
BlackBook
"A renovated '60's charmer whose humble, unfussy rooms with ocean-hued accents are made spectacular by the real thing on display from private balconies or top floor meeting facilities."
