The Squamish Adventure Inn hostel places guests only moments away from Squamish’s activities, adventure, and excitement. It is located directly off the Sea-to-Sky Highway, only 8 minutes walk away from the shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars of Squamish city centre. The place is very cozy and all I need as a solo traveler is all there.

Set in Nelson, Dancing Bear Inn features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel has family rooms. The kindness of the staff, the interior design of the hostel and the cleanness. Moreover I love the fact that the staff requires the personal food to be put on a basket with an easy-to-apply label where name, room and check-out date shall be written on. The care of the little details is definitely there.
