Can anyone out there provide me with some quick info on Vancouver and Victoria hostels and cheap ground transportation to and from both of these airports?<BR><BR>Thanks.

I don't know one hostel from another so can't advise you there. Victoria has a convenient shuttle bus running from the airport to many of the hotels for about $13.00 one way.<BR>http://www.akalairporter.travel.bc.ca/<BR>

Since you ask about hostels and not 4* hotels I asume you are on a budget. <BR><BR>If you fly into Vancouver, you can take a city bus with transfer to downtown for about $1.75.<BR><BR>From Vancouver, you can take a city bus with transfer to the ferry for the same.<BR><BR>Walk on to the ferry for about $10.<BR><BR>On the Victoria side a city bus to downtown cost $2.50.<BR><BR>Does not come any cheaper than that.<BR><BR>The website is:<BR><BR>www.bctransit.com for the busses.<BR>www.bcferries.ca for ferries.<BR><BR>I do not know which hostel is best because I live in Victoria.<BR><BR>No my livingroom couch is not available.<BR><BR>We have a couple of hostels.<BR><BR>Have fun.

Thanks to all.

http://www.travelscout.com/victoria/hostels/hostels.html<BR><BR>This site lists the independants. There is a YHA affilliate not listed here.<BR><BR>By my reckoning the Douglas probably rents most of it's room by the hour if you know what I mean; nudge nudge, wink wink.<BR><BR>There are other cheap hotels. Try Travellers Inn.<BR><BR>This is Victoria of course, not Vancouver.

Visit this site for info on all Canadian Hostels. It gives you a map and directions to the hostel depending on how(plane, bus, etc.) you arrived in town. And all the other info needed including things to do in each city!<BR><BR>http://www.hihostels.ca
