In a kilt, the hostel kids will think you're cool even if you're ridiculously old.

But stick with Hostelling International, so long as you're in Vancouver.

Hostels are better than you think, all of you excuse-makers. [I read your minds while you read this post. It's a php thing]
Still haven't stayed in a Hostelling International hostel that I liked. It seems many of them have curfews and way to many rules. I always found the independant hostels to be more my taste (especially in the UK), but yes you are right, hostels can be a ton of fun.

We do have several great (and not so great ) hostels in the city. I will be looking into them, and will let you all know what I can find. Having said that , the Jericho Hostel (and HI hostel) is apparently one of Vancouver's best. It's right downtown, and near the beach. Here is a link to their site http://www.hihostels.ca/hostels/BC/B...ls/2-33-3.html
