HI Whistler

We would definitely stay here again. It is a little south of all the activities, about 5 miles from the village. It is in a well maintained area of condos with a few eateries nearby. Design inside is nice, very modern. The staff were very helpful and recommended a great gin bar in the village called Brickworks. The rooms are simple, but thats pretty normal for a hostel. We were in a private queen which did have an ensuite, not all rooms do. Foam mattress was a little too firm (but thats just a personal preference). We couldn't get the TV to work. No AC, but there were fans. The price was good at $186 CAD, pretty close to half of what you would pay anywhere else in Whistler.

It's a pretty good hostel and a good price for the location. But it's not in whistler. There's a bus station right in front. It all feels like the hostel was amazing 5-10 years ago and wasn't maintained. It's still pretty good. But there's a few things that feel neglected. No real A/C in the rooms, shower curtain ripped, doors loud, vending machine empty, pool table in disrepair. It's still 4/5, but it could be better

Stayed at HI Whistler and really enjoyed it! The place is clean, modern, and has a great social vibe with spacious common areas and a well-equipped common kitchen. It’s a bit outside the main village, but buses run regularly. There’s an on-site cafe which is convenient, but don’t expect too much, it’s decent for a quick bite. Overall, a solid budget-friendly stay in Whistler!

It's a great value for the location, even if you opt for a private room (which we did). We also drove, so being outside Whistler Village was not an issue. We even preferred being away from all that street noise. Memory foam mattress was firm & super comfy! Walls are thin, so other people can be heard - but you have to expect that in a hostel setting. Staff are super friendly & helpful.

Was there for 3 nights, was an absolute great stay. Very nice and new rooms and good matresses. When I'm back in Whistler, I would definitely stay there again. By the way, location is far from Whistler Village, but the busses run every 10 minutes and get you into the village in 20 minutes. So for just 40 Dollars a night, that's totally fine!

Amazing and high quality hostel for an affordable price! Very friendly staff, clean rooms and facilities, delicious food at the cafe, daily activities and an easy place to make friends. They also let you borrow bearspray for when you go hiking.

Stinkiest dorm room I’ve ever encountered in my life. I honestly avoided going to bed for a while because I was fearing for my lungs lol. Kinda run down, and mildly rude service staff at the cheakys cafe. I don’t get it. 🤷🏻 Every other HI location I’ve been to (at least 3) have been excellent. This one not so much. Disappointing.

If any other person was coordinating activities other than Matt, the world would not be the same. I enjoyed my last stay at the hostel and am again meeting amazing people. If you want to meet amazing people and have a fun experience, this is the place to be. Matt has been an amazing coordinator. His energy and personality are unmatched. I hope you get a similar experience.
