Nice clean hostel. The street around is a little sketchy, but the facility feels safe and I felt good with a gated entrance to the upper floors and double locks on my doors. The free meals and drinks are nice additions, and I appreciated that we were able to check in early and keep our bags in the storage once we’d checked out.

Had a single bed room and it was perfect for what I needed. I arrived late due to a delayed flight and unfortunately missed the nightly drink offer and dinner. But breakfast was really good, great spread of options.

Facility was old but maintained. Fresh paint and very clean!!! The window was open with an old fashioned slide bolt to hold it. I left it open rain and shine, room temperature was very comfortable night and day. No screens but no bugs came in. Bathroom was super clean and available when I went to use it. There were also 4 more on the floor! Next door was a half way house/homeless support (?) But I was never bothered by the users of the facility. Location is central to Victoria Tourist areas and 1/2 block from busy street with public transit. Attentive desk and pleasant fellow travelers.

It’s not a hotel
It’s not a hotel it’s a hostel so that’s what you get. Price includes two meals and a drink. Lots of available shared clean bathrooms and a big stainless countertop three sink kitchen with plates etc. Great little pub with a capable friendly barman (when I was there). Junkies and homeless in the area and it’s an old building so it’s not for everyone but it’s my new go to when I have to visit my old hometown.

Great little hostel. Breakfast and dinner were included, quite minimal but if that's what you need it's ideal, perfect for what I was after. Nice little bar area to chill out and meet like minded travellers in the evening, usually little games going on, but never too loud. I had a small private room with a sink and fridge in, did the trick. Decent kitchen space to prep and cook own food. Location is great, very close to downtown. Quite a few homeless that hang out round the area but all harmless. A pleasant stay
