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. The location of the place was absolutely amazing with views to the Chief and located centrally in Squamish for all your daily needs. This place is impeccable clean and the staff is above and beyond kind, friendly and helpful. All other guests are like-minded people with high interest to nature in all its excursions. This led to many interesting talks in the rooms and in the kitchen/living area at night. I had to work in North Vancouver, and the drive to Squamish is faster and 100x times more beautiful to drive, than driving to downtown Vancouver. Have stayed in many B&B's, hostels in and around Vancouver/North Vancouver, and no place could live up to this place. All my future business trip's will be going to Squamish now.

You can play billiards at the hostel, and the area is popular for cycling. This was honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The atmosphere was super welcoming and it was so easy to meet people – perfect for solo travelers. The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help with recommendations or just have a chat. The location was ideal, close to everything I needed, and the hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were always clean, and the common areas had a really chill energy. I also appreciated the small details – lockers, good Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped kitchen.
