HI-Whistler Hostel

I have stayed in many hostels while backpacking Europe, and skiing and this was the cleanest and best maintained hostel! (Very New) Staff very friendly, not too far from village, (about 12min) and can also take the shuttle or drive to the Creeks for free and take the Gondola to avoid traffic!
All other ski towns’ hostels to save money they keep the temperature very low, but here was very comfortable! Enough parking spots for everyone… only negative comment which is not a big deal, is their café that has only one person working both taking orders and making them and is very slow!

The hostel was built for the 2010 winter olympics so everything is well designed and looks very clean and new! The beds are a little larger than normal and are super comfy. There is lockers in the rooms for extra security. The bathroom is shared between two rooms and the shower is pretty good! The room was a reasonable size, luggage could fit along the walls/​under the beds. Snowboards/​skiis are kept in a storage room that you access with your keycard. Great facilities; large kitchen/​dining area, great lounge room and pool table! The staff are really friendly and helpful! I stayed by myself over new years and it was a great night, everyone was super friendly and it was a great atmosphere. The hostel is right near the bus stop which takes you to Whistler village to hit the slopes or grab a bite to eat! Overall I had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

One of the cleanest, most well-​maintained hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Great facilities, friendly hosts/​reception, a large lounge and large kitchen with everything you need on the second floor, with another lounge and café on the main floor.
A friend and I opted for a co-​ed dorm that sleeps 4 which ended up being about $ 42 for the one night. Note though that you share one toilet, one shower, and 2 sinks with about 7 other people (two 4-​person dorms share that same facilities), although if you’re easy-​going it shouldn’t be a problem.
Super close to Whistler; they have buses that take you to the village; otherwise it’s just a 10 – 15 minute drive. Great, budget-​friendly alternative if you’re not keen on staying in the village.

I stayed here one night, passing through and found it expensive but comparable to airbnb in the area. Bonus was that it was very clean and the private room is like a hotel room. I’d stay here again. Note, the hostel is not in the village but there is a good bus connection or not far by car.

Have you ever wanted to pretend like you were an Olympian? Ever wished you could be the chicest world traveler amongst your friends? Ever wanted to be in a ski resort town and buy a yummy meal for less than $ 30?
HI Hostel let’s you do all these things! The building was originally built and used to house Olympic Athletes as part of the Vancouver games in 2010.
People complained on other websites about the hostel being away from the village but we loved that about it! The beds are comfy! The in floor heating keeps the place fabulously warm with the added bonus of no stepping on a cold floor after the shower!
The common rooms are modern and chic and clean. The staff is amazing, we were the only Americans we met when we stayed there.
The food was yummy! Overall this place was amazing! Cheaper than any hotel and a much better experience!

Man what a cool spot. I’m glad we stayed here during our stay in Whistler. Super laid back attitude from the international staff. Clean rooms and showers, what more could you ask for a cheap accommodation? There’s a nice entertainment room in the 2^nd floor with a pool table and some couches. There’s also a movie room to keep you occupied, I’m bummed that the Xbox didn’t work but wuteves, I was there to snowboard not play video games.
Very cool to meet peeps from around the world in your room but unfortunately my room started to smell like old gym shorts which is what happens when you cram a bunch of dudes in there right after skiing and snowboarding.
