If you have ever been apprehensive about staying at a hostel for the first time, HI Whistler is the place to start. This was my third stay at HI Whistler, twice in summer, once in winter and the place is always great. There are four comfy bunks per room, each bunk has its own shelf, light, and electric plugs for... More

Stayed here with my family (wife, 6 year old boy and 4 year old girl) just for a weekend trip to Whistler from Vancouver. It was great staying amongst young (teenagers and twenty year olds) travelers from different parts of the world. There was a cross country competition on, so lot of the other guests were taking part in that.... More

Stayed for three nights from march 27-30. The staff were all friendly and super helpful with anything. I really like how I could store my snowboard and gear and not have to worry about someone taking off with it as the board room also had security camera in it. I stayed in a fourbed dorm and the bed was very... More

Great place to stay for those traveling to Whistler on a budget. The hostel is really nice. I stayed in one of the dorms. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, there were cabinets available to stash my stuff in and the room was pretty clean considering there were four guys staying there. I forgot to bring a lock, but felt comfortable... More

This hostel is amazing, by far the best hostel I have stayed in so far! Everything was so modern, the hostel was always well cleaned, including the bathrooms every day!!! We had our own bathroom in our room so we only had to share with the others in our room, (rather than the whole hostel). The kitchen is big with... More

Very nicely kept hostel in Whistler, BC. Everything is very clean and relatively quiet. The hostel staff is always friendly and willing to help. Be aware that this is a HOSTEL and by definition you can have other people in your room that you don't know (depending on your accommodation selection). You can always lock up your stuff before you... More

Otherwise it was clean,peaceful,a lot of activities offered, all for reasonable money. ISIC discount for students was very pleasant...i would totally stay here again (if i had... More

I stayed in this hostel for 3 days but could have stayed much longer. It's one if the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. It's the old athletes village so all the facilities are very modern. There is cafe in the reception area for those that don't want to make the trek into the village (its only a $2.50 15min... More

Stayed one night in a 4 bed dorm unit with 3 friends. The room was small with 2 bunk beds, and a shower, toilet and 2 sinks were shared with another dorm unit. The room was clean and minimal but perfectly adequate. The cafe had a selection of breakfast items and espresso. It was a great place for a quick... More

Heated floors, modern rooms. It is quite expensive for its distance from the lifts, and the noise in the halls at night. If you can sleep through anything, then stay here. The kitchen, though incredibly modern was disgusting. The sheets, even though pressed had other peoples hairs on them. YUK!
