You'll end up meeting great people, but that's all that's good about this Hostel in particular. The…read moreowner is a very rude, sexist, angry person. The shower fluctuates between boiling hot and ice cold, you'll get no privacy at all due to the owners constant temper tantrums, there are also mice and rats. It says pets are allowed but I've personally seen him strike and yank on a little pug multiple times, it says there's free Wifi but... almost everything is blocked (Netflix, Youtube, anything involving streaming). He will also spend all of his time playing video games, and will not help fix fuses, broken light bulbs, etc. Spend a few extra dollars and go to the Westview, I've traveled quite a bit and this is by far the worst Hostel I've ever been in. Cheers & Best of Luck in your stay in Powell River.

Stay last night in the beautiful historic Rodmay 5 it is gorgeous! Stepping into the lobby is like…read morestepping out of a time machine - a rich and tastefully decorated with the style and materials from 100 years ago. My suite was the same but with modern conveniences like free wifi, heated floors in the bathroom, and air conditioning! A large, clean, and tasteful decorated space for the day. The staff is outstanding. If only we could clone the GM, Charlie, and have one of him in every hotel, motel & hostel on the planet, the world would be a better place. I travel a lot (ALOT!) for work and my stay at The Rodmay Historic Hotel has to be one of my favorite & most memorable!!! Cheers, Charlie, strong work!

Are you looking to stay at the Shining Hotel? Are you really into weird art? Dusty antiques?…read moreUnwashed glasses and cups? Bugs in your coffee and tea? Live music and people talking loudly outside until 12-1 under your bedroom? Cigarette smoke? Possibly bedbugs? Cracks in the walls? Just general creepiness, definitely haunted, AND right next to the cemetary ? This one's for you... This place made us want our money back upon arrival. Stay safe ladies and gents, don't go where you're not supposed to in the hotel! The WiFi password is the hotel name backwards. "Redrum" anyone??!

I'm a bit stunned to see that this hotel has such a low review average. My stay here exceeded…read moreexpectations and I was satisfied with it. The staff here are very friendly and will go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay here. The room was quite comfortable, spacious, and relatively clean. Sure, maybe it was a bit dated, but it still got the job very well done in the end. As long as it gets the job done, I personally don't care. The beds were easy to get a good night sleep on and the hotel is very quiet, which is great. Laundry service is available, however, they do not have self-serve washing machines. They take care of the laundry for you for $10 per service, which I must say is quite reasonable. Honestly, I like how they take care of the laundry for you so you don't have to worry about it. The biggest plus for me is that there is an elevator on the property should you need it to go up to the second floor. That's a HUGE plus. Location is excellent, you can get to pretty much any store from the hotel in walking distance. I would stay here again for sure if my travels took me up to Powell River in the future.

If i could give 10 stars I would.  No disrespect to any…read moreof the other bigger tour groups with a lots of reviews but THIS is the tour to do!  I'm so glad that everything else was booked because we (party of 4) Literally had the entire boat for ourselves so it was a private tour at the same prices of the other tour companies. Zack took an incredible amount of time for our tour and gave us a personalized adventure.  We were also blessed to see whales, porpoise, urchins, starfish,  seals, sea lions. He knew all the places to go and gave such an amazing insight of the different islands and mountains. He also gave us snacks and beverages from locally sourced places. Literally we could not have asked for better and it was even more amazing than we could have imagined.  When we come back we will ONLY book here.

We had the absolute best time on the Oyster Farm Tour! If we could give it 10 stars we would. From…read morethe moment we walked on the dock, Captain Zach welcomed us on board, and made is feel comfortable and safe, he even had a scavenger hunt game prepared for our toddler! Once we were on our way, the learning began! Did you know that oysters are one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture? Or that one little oyster filters a bathtub of water per day, keeping our oceans clean, pristine, fresh and beautiful? We learned so many incredible facts about his family oyster farm, the innovation they are adding to the industry, oysters as a species and the local aquaculture. The boat has both inside cabin space and outside deck space, making it great to enjoy the sea breeze and spray, but also shade from the hot sun. Captain Zach has an incredibly deep knowledge of the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound, pointing out mountains, islands, bays and even rock formations, and added a depth of history to everything he shared. His passion to share this area of Vancouver Island is contagious! We saw a pod of dolphins, sea lions, eagles, all sorts of waterfowl. At no moment did we feel rushed, it was a beautiful leisurely day on the water - that also kept at 3 year old happy and engaged all day - and ended with the a delicious feast of oysters. We all had a blast and can't wait to be back.

WTF! He mysterically came back and i asked him"where did you go?" he just grinned and didn't say a word. My fiance booked the rest of our party minus myself as i do not tolerate rudeness, therefore i did not bowl, i waited until their game was over and left, to charge over $40.00 for one game for 4 people is outrageous, will definitely let people no NOT to bowl there, quite a scam, hopefully no one gets athletes feet as they dont even spray the shoes with disinfectant after you use the shoes you rent from them.Shame on the owner for a poor service they try to provide. Should be 0 stars if i could. :+(
