This is a nice hostel within walking distance to town. No complaints, I've stayed in dozens of…read morehostels and this is a good one, not the best, but it's nice. ONE PROBLEM... It's very difficult to get to and from the train station/Ferry Port without a taxi. I was lucky enough to hitch a ride both ways. The owner does do pickups if you call her, but if it's really early in the morning (when the train leaves) good luck. It does not free lockers, which I think should come with the room.

I don't know how many times I have found backpackers inn's or hostels just plain disgusting to stay…read moreat, but this place is a gem! I would call it a B&B. Chrissy the owner, has just renovated a large section and it is super bright, tasteful and incredible value for your money. Honestly whoever goes to Prince Rupert and wants incredible value and be around youthful people of all ages this is the place. it is not a party house, return drunk from the bar sleazy pad. We meet sports teams, families visiting the area and naturally tourists. I am just blown away with this place and the offerings, can you tell?

I rode through the rain into Prince Rupert around 3:00pm, bought a ferry ticket, and started…read morethinking about shelter for the night. The Manager at the ferry terminal recommended a couple hostels, and mentioned that the Pioneer Inn had been recently renovated. After a drive-by of the hostel, it was clear this would be the place to spend the night. The hostel has a clean, welcoming look from the outside, especially when contrasted with the gloomy, rainy, and cold September weather. Things got better once inside; there was a comfortable living room, and most importantly for me, a professional kitchen available to guests. I checked in and opted for the shared dormitory option on the top (3rd) floor. The rate was fair (~$30 all inclusive), and the room was cozy and well appointed. There was no bathroom in the room, but there was a recently renovated one a few doors down on the same floor. The hostel is located off of the main street in Prince Rupert, and is very close to groceries and restaurants (Safeway and Cow Bay). Right behing the building there is a community garden worth looking at, where one could easily read or relax (weather permitting). The people working there were mostly helpful, some very nice, and others business-only. Overall, the Pioneer Backpackers Inn is a great find, and worth staying at if one visits Prince Rupert.

What an amazing visitor's center. The center talks all about the shipping industry. It's amazing…read morehow close Prince Rupert is and it's the shortest route. I can't remember the details, but it's fascinating. You should really go and spend some time in there. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They also have some chairs in there that you can sit at and enjoy the view. My honey needed some down time so he sat down for awhile while I looked around Cow Bay. They have brochures in there about what to do in Prince Rupert. About the bear sanctuary. I heard it's a worthwhile and amazing adventure. It was the highlight of many people's cruise.

It was interesting to look at what they have on display. They don't have much brochures but again its not like there are many things to do in Prince Rupert.
