Pamela

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This an affordable option for a short stay. The university grounds are beautiful. Very easy to access Wreck Beach and city buses. Tons of hot water available. Kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave in the kitchen. Lots of restaurants, yoga studio, gym close by. However the markets are very expensive so you’ll want to pick up any groceries at a proper grocery store.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was a very quiet and relaxing environment, and the room, shared bathroom, kitchen, etc. were very clean. It's understandable that the facilities are getting old, but the lock on the entrance door to the room I stayed in was very stiff, and I had trouble opening it , so I think this needs to be improved.

I needed affordable, long term, on campus to be close to classes, and it was so enjoyable. The property checked off all my needs, and because of that I did not leave the property on weekends for hotels because it was the quiet serenity where I was. 10/10.

This property was perfect for the purpose of my visit; the location is convenient, the campus property is stunning, and all the amenities I needed were close by, e.g., transit, coffee shops. Thanks! Will recommend.

PAUL

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I personally like its proximity to the beach, and it being at UBC meant more secluded and quieter space, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Amenities were really nice, though they ran out of hand soap in 2 of their sinks in the washroom. Common dining hall is quite small.
