Located in Cumberland, Riding Fool Accommodation features barbecue facilities. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The property is non-smoking and is set 19 km from Comox Ferry Terminal.

Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms come with a mountain view. Lovely place for a stay. I spent just one night but was perfect. The room was cozy and the mattress really comfortable, on the firm side (just what I needed). Shared bathrooms are absolutely clean. There is a community kitchen which I did not use but great to know I could have. Check-in was super easy and independent which I appreciated because I arrived very late at night.

You can play billiards at the hostel, and the area is popular for cycling. This was honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The atmosphere was super welcoming and it was so easy to meet people – perfect for solo travelers. The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help with recommendations or just have a chat. The location was ideal, close to everything I needed, and the hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were always clean, and the common areas had a really chill energy. I also appreciated the small details – lockers, good Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped kitchen.

Our hostel in Vancouver, British Columbia offers both private and shared rooms with individual lockers.

All prices include complimentary breakfast, free coffee and tea throughout the day, daily activities, a fully equipped kitchen and a community area with lounge, dining and work spaces.

The receptions is open 24/7 and we also have discounted Vancouver Canucks tickets for sale. One of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever been. Also, I normally expect to have to queue for showers and bathrooms in such busy hostels in mid July, but it was exactly the contrary. The experience was very pleasant and I felt like home.
