Great value for the cost and very clean and cozy!

Pros: Location was great. It was cozy and the beds were very comfortable. It was very clean and lots of blankets and pillows available for extra comfort. Loved the little common Tv room area, very inviting.

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like. Maybe a few more tea offerings ( :

Great host, great price, great facilities. Don’t hesitate to stay!

Pros: Char (host) was super friendly and helpful. It had everything you needed; fridge, cooking appliances, good showers, comfortable bed. For the price you are getting more than what you are paying for!! Highly recommend and will be staying again when passing through Alberni:)

Excellent hostel accommodation in a convenient place. Quiet and welcoming

Pros: We arrived at Char's Landing Hostel slightly later than we'd intended but that was perfectly alright because we had instructions to get in. Wifi code even written on the outside of the door in case we had no data! Hostel is beautifully presented - looks like someone's home. Lovely conversation with other guests inside the hostel. Good kitchen facilities. Washer/dryer available. Bunk beds in private room but that was fine, and they were comfortable. Quiet area. Would I recommend? Yes. Would we stay again? Definitely!

Wonderful Charlene

Pros: Char was a wonderful host and a very humane person, full of kindness. Not only did she book me a lower bunk at my request, but she was kind enough to invite me over to a concert she was having that evening.

Char's hostel

Pros: Such a great find! Perfect balance of location, price, and amenities everything just clicks. The hostel is cozy and convenient, making it super easy to explore the area. We found it perfect for an overnight stop between Tofino and Nanaimo. Best of all, the host is warm and welcoming, instantly making you feel at home.

Pros: Char was able to take us last minute and kindly open up a room so that we would have somewhere comfortable to stay with our dogs before doing a multi day backpacking trip. She was fantastic and the property was perfect for what we needed.
