I assumed that for a $$$ hotel, they would have came up with a solution. If possible, ask to not be put in 246. Other then that, my stay was uneventful.

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.

Spending 18-20 hours not driving was excellent for starting vacation and for ending it. We had a room, got to visit our pup every couple hours, and even had some gluten free food options from the cafe. Overall, something I'd do again and absolutely will recommend to others.

It was basically right off the lobby. They treated us very well. The only big issue was no air conditioning and it was approaching 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit!!! Since our rooms were across from each other we opened the windows and hall doors and got good air flow. But at night it was pretty warm. The other issue was the breakfast area. Pretty small and with no a/c it was a bit toasty, so to speak. But it was great other than that. We'd stay here again.
