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

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
