Where to Stay: Whistler Hostels – Updated 2019

At Forged-Axe Throwing, we have a long, long, history of hostel jumping both in Canada and abroad. We wanted to concentrate that breadth of experienced and apply it to the local hostels in Whistler. After all, we have literally seen it all. From a hostel in Nicaragua where every toilet was flooded, to one in Vancouver where you didn’t dare to breathe during the night for fear of making the bed squeak.

Hostels in Whistler tend to be of much higher caliber than those other unfortunate pit stops along our journey abroad. Whistler hostels cater to more than the dead-beat backpacker, they also cater to the budget-conscious traveler. Let’s face it, Whistler isn’t the cheapest place to crash for a week, and a hostel option can give you the little extra room in your funds to say for a little long, and get in a few extra turns.

Whistler Hostels 2019 Update – The Run Down

Pangea Pod Hotel

Not quite a hostel, not quite a hotel – but 100% pod. This is a unique boutique accommodation making the most out of their small space. Stay in one of the small pods, which contain just enough space for you, a bed, and your bags and save massively on the usual cost of accommodation in Whistler. They are located in a prime location, right in the hart of the village, which makes them the perfect location if you value early, easy access to the mountain. Or, maybe you prefer the late night entertainment?

The Pod Hotel offers sleek futuristic designs, a comfortable place to put your head at night, and nearly on-the-hill access to everything you’d ever want.  As with any normal hostel, it comes complete with both mixed ‘dorms’ and female-only ‘dorms’ but don’t be fooled by the word dorm. You’ll still get your own spacious pod to sleep in, with the ability to block out the rest of the room and keep your stuff stored safely.

• Price Range: $100+ (High Season) $70+ (Low Season)
• Why We Love it? Because you get your own space! No sharing a room with a snoring stranger!
