Located in Golden and within 8.9 km of Golden Golf & Country Club, Dreamcatcher Hostel features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. 17 km from Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre, the property features a ski pass sales point. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Great value for a price 10x lower than any hotel in the area. That's probably the best hostel I've been to. It's clean, people are friendly, you have all the amenities you need. People are actually socialising together in a living room, which also looks great. There is A/C in the room, the beds have curtains with them, the bathrooms are clean and spacious and there are quite a bit of them.

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. Staff are welcoming and very helpful, responded to our concerns for shower water, room power out, movie room sound, etc. Thank you ! Our quad room facing right to the water, the birds come to the lawn in front of door, feeling very close to the nature. Lovely environment!
