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.

C&N Backpackers - Ucluelet

Ucluelet

C&N Backpackers boasts views of Ucluelet Inlet.

The hostel has a spacious garden offering firepit, BBQ, lots of outdoor seating and a trail that runs down to the waterfront.

There is a large shared kitchen and lounge on the lowest floor. Great for socializing and big family meals. I loved the location in the middle of the forrest. You could walk out to the river and experience the wilderness, it was beautiful. The best thing was how lovely the owner was. Andy is a super nice guy and I could not have asked for a better host. I would 100% recommend this place on him alone, let alone how homely and pretty the hostel was.
