I would highly recommend this hostel, especially if you plan to make your own meals. We aren’t surfers, but it seemed re

Well, organized, clean and nice clean, comfortable rooms, and beds.

Price seem a little high for a hostel but I suppose all of Tofino is a little high. Kitchen was great. We did have someone eat our food though. That’s not a criticism of the property necessarily just a bad experience.

Pricey but lovely stay in Tofino

9.0

Great facilities in a great location with an amazing view! Kitchen is very well equipped. Clean bathrooms and showers and plenty of them - I had a hot shower for the first time in a month it felt good 😂

It did feel pricey for a dorm but it’s a pricey area

Gemütliches Hostel am Ende von Tofino

10.0

Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Sehr nettes Personal. Grosse Zimmer mit viel Stauraum, um auch Koffer einzustellen und abzuschliessen. Bietet kostenpflichtige Parkplätze an. Sauberkeit. Tolle Aussicht aufs Meer. Billard-Raum. Gemütliche Aufenthaltsräume.

Man hat keinen Vorhang am Bett. Leider kein Frühstück und kein Trinkwasser. Aber sonst alles tipp topp!
