HI Whistler - Hostel

had booked for 7 nights on booking dot com after 3 nights. I had about as much as I could take with a shared room. The person above me slept with his shoes on all night and stunk the room out with smoking. So I asked if I could please be upgraded to a single room. The staff and manger were very accommodating with my request. I couldn’t be more happy. Thank you. I recommend staying here.

The traveller's I met HERE were ALL angry who came in from New Zealand were the worst mother and daughter I have ever met & I'm Canadian they treated me like garbage when we shared our dorm room . The hotel was extremely overpriced , hot stuffy rooms , too many body's crammed in one dorm, doors continually opens and slam shut very abrupt all hours of day and night . a private school of 45 grade 12 students , stayed the weekend so disruptive and unruly, hall monitors in hallways , kids stomping and crashing all hours of the night causing anxiety. student unruly in community kitchen spoiled brats private high school students were not recycling their trash And stealing food was an issue at this hostal hotel ... it was all too much , not a relaxed, invioroment vacation hotel at all . It was like the owners of the hostel only care about making money by selling rooms out to huge functions rather then the solo traveller's needs there was no vegan eating areas in kitchen that was a false claim . very unsupported 24 hours front desk , most of the staff that works at the HI canada hostal live there and are angry and hate us travelers, gossip was a very big issue in this community living environment . Rooms were very hot stuffy and fans barly had a air flow . Beds were very uncomfortable hard and injuring my back . Long stay .... my sheet were only changed once in 8 days ... if you ask for a bed change they act like your not staying at the all seasons so don't ask for basic needs . Overall horrible negative atmosphere @ this hotel hostal . It's almost 35 minutes by bus to even get to the whistler village , it's not a shot away as the website claimed. That was a lie too . Middle of nowhere . Prices are very high for this sort of hostal / Hotel . When I asked for a refund for the days I decided I was no longer staying I was ripped off . I was promised full refund if I was not happy. That was exaggerated. Hotel still owes me Canada dollars Washer and dryers both broken, so doing laundry at this location was a struggle since only one unit was working . I observed carpet Floors in bedroom were vacuumed once in a week was just gross . Considering so many traveller's come and go daily . So bring indoor shoes . Shower water pressure is crap and showers are crammed and the shower curtin is never changed . It's just gross here . STAY CLEAR I HAVE A DISABILITY SINGKE TRAVELLING WOMEN GRANDMOTHRR . MY NEEDS WERE NOT MET @ THIS HOSTAL HOTEL WORST VACATION HERE . THIS LOCATION SHOULD NOT BE ADVERTISED ALONG WITH WHISTLER RATINGS ITS GARBAGE HERE THEY EVEN LUCKY I GAVE THEM A 1 STAR

A really lovely Hostel with lots of amenities. The staff are super and very helpful. However there is no AC and our room averaged 29C overnight (outside temp 10C) which was very uncomfortable to sleep in.

I stayed at this place for 2 nights during the hiking trip in the area. Accommodation in Whistler is quite expensive so the hotel provide decent alternative. I stayed in one of the shared room. It’s basic but enough for a place to crash. Rooms are clean and bathroom was functional. They don’t provide soap and shampoo. The location might not be the best if you don’t have your own car. I’m not sure how good the public transportation option is.

Overall, our stay at HI Whistler was good. Mind you, this is mostly a hostel, but we opted for the single bed room. A decision I’d recommend for most, unless you’re really trying to save money. The room was clean, the bed fairly comfortable, and the bathroom had the basics. Now, for the price point, it was good and you probably shouldn’t expect too much. However, we found things like out-of-stocked vending machines (both food and drink), a lack of extra/thicker bed sheets, and a dismal cafe somewhat disappointing. None of these things make or break our stay, but just things to note. Once again, for the price point you’ll enjoy the stay. The ~30min bus to Whistler is simple enough and you can use that saved money on food.

Besides being busy, and beds will be beds, the staff were incredible and honest. Great deal and value for anyone looking for alternative to renting. Because landlords are sketchy anyways and you'll end up paying the same. 6 of one, Half dozen the other. At least you get hot showers, cold fidges, clean washrooms too. A no brainer
