      Absolutely the filthiest *** **** ********** place ** *** ***** (even if youre booking a private room). I travel a lot as * *** * *** ********** ********* * **** ****** ** * ****** ***** *** frankly Ive never been through a more disgusting experience than this one. Once you arrive youll be greeted by **** ******* ***** **** **** ******** *** * ****** *** have slurred speech. ** *** ***** *** ******* ***** *** ****** ** **** ****** ******* No, these are the staff. ** *** ** ******* *** ***** **** ** ** *** **** *** ****** ** ************ *** ******* *** *** **** **** *** ****** **** ** ********* ** ***** ** *** ***** *** ** **** *** ******** ** *** *** ******* ********** *** ******** ** ****** *** **** ********* ** **** ** *** *** **** *** ** **** claiming he wont accept locals in the hotel although I provided him with my international ID he would say I dont care ***** ***** ******** ***. ** **** *** **** ** ***** ********* * **** ** definitely stay away from that person if you absolutely need to put yourself in a place like that. He kept bugging out and yelling at us and causing a whole scene where he got other guests to intervene and try to kick us out as if we were threatening him or yelling back at him. We were just trying to check in. We felt absolutely unsafe and disrespected *** ***** ******* **** ***** *******. This happened at 2 am after a long day of snowboarding the day of the storm. My house was about 2 and a half hours away. ***** ******* **** * ***** ** ***** **** * **** ****** ** ** ********** ******* **** **** ***** * **** *** ** ** ******** ******** *** * ***** **** **** ****** *** ****** Legal action seems only appropriate in this situation.

      6/8/2022 One start is indeed too much for the below. Pls take into consideration what I am writing here.It took me ages to book online my future stay in Vancouver with that ******** hostel through ***** *********** and later directly online with the hostel itself.A real nightmare! Now, * ** ******** ********** **** ** **** **** * **** ******** ******* ****** *** * ** **** ** ** ***I can assure you that Cambie downtown Seymour hostel is not a reliable, trustworthy hostel you can rely on.Early April, knowing that Canada is busy in spring, autumn and summer, I started doing my homework and booked my stay with ***********.Since then, I did not finish being on the phone and computer correcting booking issues with the hostel staff.First, *********** booking # did not match the hostel one.OK it was corrected.Second, the bookings which followed were cancelled by the hostel without my authorization and they blamed me and ***********. Third, the hostel manager called Victor begged me to cancel the *********** ones and keep his bookings performed directly online with the hostel instead.I did it.And now after all those acrobatics back and forth, Victor has the nerve to cancel them.**** * *********I was stunned.FYI, his staff working is ****, ********* and lack of courtesy customer service when I took myself the time to call from USA and confirm my bookings.I was paying the phone calls.It was a real nightmare.I can write a book.Now, I just booked somewhere else.Yes, online Seymour is the cheapest but cheap is expensive.I wasted 2 months and now, today, in June I got a cancellation email from Victor.Unfair not ethical professional business attitude from that hostel!I wish to make sure you all know about it and book somewhere else where it is guaranteed you will have a place where to stay.Anyway, if you decide to book with that hostel, make sure you confirm your online booking because what you paid and book might be not what you get. Hostel messed with my bookings for 2 months.
