Location
Nestled among cafés, bars, and restaurants, nearly 25 minutes' walk from the Vancouver Aquarium, the theme St Clair Hostel Vancouver comprises 21 rooms. This Vancouver hostel lies in Downtown Vancouver with free to-go breakfast, a rooftop terrace, and a coffee shop/cafe, and the nearest bus stop, Richards St at West Hastings St, is a mere 200 metres away.
The heritage hostel boasts a prime location in close proximity to sports attractions such as the favored Rogers Arena and provides easy access to the downtown gothic-style Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, which is just a 6-minute walk away. St Clair hostel is situated only 250 metres from Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Gastown is merely a 7-minute stroll away, and The Orpheum, available to diversify your stay, is about a 5-minute drive away.
Guests can enjoy dinner at Dae Ji, which is a stone's throw from St Clair hostel, or at Ramen Gojiro, 100 metres away. This accommodation is nestled a few steps from Granville underground station.
Review by hotel critic
My recent stay at St Clair Hotel Hostel in downtown Vancouver was quite the adventure, despite a few bumps along the way. Set in a charming heritage-listed building, its location across from Holy Rosary Cathedral offers breathtaking views, especially from the rooftop terrace. The community atmosphere resonated with me as a mountaineer, as travelers shared tales over breakfast, fueling our wanderlust. The hostel truly caters to those eager to explore, with easy access to local attractions and a bike rental right at Cathedral Park. Unfortunately, the accommodations were marred by a mouse encounter during the night. While the staff was generally friendly, their handling of our situation felt lacking, and a sincere apology was never offered. Despite the temporary discomfort, I appreciated the facilities, especially the communal spaces. Availability of guest laundry was a lifesaver for my active lifestyle-great for washing the gear after a day of urban exploration. St Clair has a special charm, but I would advise fellow adventurers to check for cleanliness to ensure an enjoyable stay.
