HI Victoria is a Hostelling International hostel situated in Victoria's downtown core on Yates Street, offering budget shared accommodation within walking distance of the Inner Harbour and the BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay via transit. As part of the global HI network it historically attracted backpackers and cycle tourers passing through southern Vancouver Island. Its central location would give cyclists convenient access to provisioning, the waterfront Galloping Goose trailhead, and onward island connections.","source":"review_edit"},"website":{"value":"https://www.hihostels.ca/victoria","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":"516 Yates Street, V8W 1K8","source":"enrichment"},"phone":{"value":"+1-250-385-4511","source":"enrichment"},"email":{"value":"victoria@hihostels.ca","source":"osm"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":"6 racks within 100m: stands (8 spaces) at 51m; stands (14 spaces) at 52m; stands (2 spaces) at 56m; stands (2 spaces) at 60m; stands (2 spaces) at 63m; stands (2 spaces) at 68m.
