Customer Reviews HI - Vancouver Jericho Beach

| Dorm doors are VERY loud opening and closing and I was frustrated by people who wanted all lights out at 9:30 pm. For these reasons I left one night early and forfeited my money to drive home to Seattle late at night. It was also sort of disappointing that the cafe was closed. | ||

| Front desk staff was slow. We waited (and waited) numerous times for help at the desk. My friend and I checked in at different times, and were told different rules/information each time. It would have been nice to have a list of things to do in the Jericho area by the hostel staff.
Overall, the hostel was secure, bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner, but the location was great. If you enjoy beach life, this location is great. | ||

| Suited my needs. Why can't one park vehicle at the back of the hostel as it is an added $6 per night for parking. Kitchen utensils such as kettle could be replaced | ||
