Located in Golden and within 8.9 km of Golden Golf & Country Club, Dreamcatcher Hostel features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. 17 km from Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre, the property features a ski pass sales point. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Great value for a price 10x lower than any hotel in the area. That's probably the best hostel I've been to. It's clean, people are friendly, you have all the amenities you need. People are actually socialising together in a living room, which also looks great. There is A/C in the room, the beds have curtains with them, the bathrooms are clean and spacious and there are quite a bit of them.

Set in Nelson, Dancing Bear Inn features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel has family rooms. A lovely hostel in a great location! Sometimes hostels have a lot of rooms, and very little space for all of those guests to hang out. However, Dancing Bear Inn was perfect. There weren't too many guests, and there were plenty of different areas to sit and hang out which was great! Our room was really bright and comfortable, the whole hostel was very clean and all of the staff were amazing and super friendly.
