The YWCA is popular among backpackers looking for privacy and a reprieve from the noise and party-like atmosphere often found at other hostels. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and are equipped with fresh linens and a private vanity. The showers are shared but well maintained. YWCA's Vancouver outpost has rooms ranging from singles to quints if you are traveling with friends. You'll appreciate the central location that offers easy access to major transportation routes.
