10/10 Exceptional

The Pacific Spirit was a well-maintained, well-run student residence converted to a hostel in the summer. The linen was good quality, the room clean and the whole hostel quiet at night. Bathrooms are down the hall, just like when I lived in university residence. There were guests of all ages. My stay was about 80% cheaper than downtown hotels. The UBC campus was about 30 minutes from downtown but the 99 bus ran every few minutes. I recommend it.

6/10 Good

The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were clean. The bathroom had 4 showers but 2 of them had disgusting black stuff covering the floors. Didnt go in to investigate further. The kitchen was well equipt and clean. The laundry was well maintained and clean. The only downside was our room smelt of stale urine.

8/10 Very good

The place was quite decent for the price and the surrounding area very quiet in the summer. Not only it was the most affordable I could find but with the short time I had to book they still had rooms available. The room overall was quite clean, no issues there. My main thing was that the main stairs smelled like urine. Also, the shower stalls could use at least one more hook to put towel and other items while one is showering. Staff were very friendly and quite helpful.

The only problem was the wifi did not work on the first night. The staff did not know how to remedy the problem. Every other aspect of the place was fine. I was pleased to find that a large heater had been installed at the end of the hall. During previous stays, there had been no heat and cold air came in from the ocean.

8/10 Very good

UBC has brilliantly double functioned its dorms as a hostel in summertime with fairly reasonable rates, cost of parking could have been a little less.. The students were just graduating when I stayed and still it was remarkably quiet! It was lovely to see that a towel and toiletries were provided. The coffee in the morning was a nice touch and the bed was comfortable. The cleanliness blew me away, I'm a janitor by trade and of course notice when lodging is not cleaned properly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. it would have been nice if there were a couple more hooks for items in the shared shower areas. The paper towel dispenser may have been due to be replaced but very small things.
