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.

Sunset Beach and Robson St are both within 10 minutes’ walking distance from this hostel. Vancouver Aquarium is 3 km away. Everything was excellent! It is my first time in hostel and it was wonderful! I was lucky to book a place in the women only room, the staff at the reception were super friendly and told everything I need to know. Girls with whom I stayed were great. Washrooms and showers are clean and well maintained, so everything was good. Kitchen is awesome- you have everything you need but shared, still it is very convenient.

The Squamish Adventure Inn hostel places guests only moments away from Squamish’s activities, adventure, and excitement. It is located directly off the Sea-to-Sky Highway, only 8 minutes walk away from the shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars of Squamish city centre. Staff are welcoming and very helpful, responded to our concerns for shower water, room power out, movie room sound, etc. Thank you ! Our quad room facing right to the water, the birds come to the lawn in front of door, feeling very close to the nature. Lovely environment!
