St. Clair Hotel built in 1911 by Henry Pybus, Captain of the Empress of Japan Canadian Pacific Steamships. The hallways depict pictures of passenger liners - giving the hostel a nautical theme.

We were for 3nights at the st clairs hostel. We stayed at the end of the corridor far away from the washroom en showers. Perfect. Clean en not noisy. Service was oke.
It is a fine adress to stay. Well done

Excellent location, helpful staff and very good value. Nice and quiet for the mature budget traveller, unlike the average hostel! A couple of minor things would have been nice - like bedside lamps and wash basins near the toilets. The only basin available was in our room. Also the cutlery and crockery was limited and basic - but the fridges were large and clean. the microwaves worked well and the internet stations cheap. If you want an affordable, safe central stay in Vancouver, you should really consider the St Clair.
Stayed one night on for an interview the next day. The hallways and reception area had a lovely charm with pictures of old ships, nice architectural features and friendly front desk person. My room was simple but clean and functional and an absolute steal - $44 single (although this was last year - summer 2007.)
TV room is a bit of a stretch - tiny room (about 10ft x 6ft) with a 14" tv high up on the wall and hard, narrow wooden benches around the edge. Certainly not comfortable or relaxing. I took advantage of the free library instead and curled up in bed with a book.
Only quibble was that my room was right next door to the shared bathrooms & laundry facilities. This had the convenience of me knowing when there was a bathroom free, as due to the wooden floors and heavy doors I heard every single person coming and going. The laundry facilities are closed after 10pm (I think,) so that wasn't a problem but the bathrooms were busy until around 1am and from around 6am - so I didn't get much sleep.
I'd definitely stay again, just request a room not directly next door to the bathrooms.
