I have to acknowledge this at the start. I went to Tofino, and they were smart and booked ahead at the Whalers on the Point, HI Tofino. On the other hand was not, and was facing sleeping in the car. But then i found the C&N backpackers. If i had not gone to the Whalers, to hang out with my friends, i would not be so mean to the C&N. In any other circumstance, with would be a good hostel, but i am somewhat bias in the fact that i loved the Whalers and hung out there in stead. So you have been forewarned, there is some bias towards this hostel.
From what I saw of this hostel it looks like it is only new or recently bought. Hence it is very very clean. The dorm room that i stayed in had two bunks (4 beds). There are not lockers, and you can't lock the door to the room either. There is a normal size residential kitchen and TV, with a deck out the back. One thing i can say is the bathrooms where really really nice.
Don't get confused, but the name of the place - C&N B&B. To me this would imply breakfast is included, but i didn't get breakfast and everyone else I saw was having breakfast with what they bought at the supermarket - so don't get your hopes up.
I also have a feeling that the owners live in the hostel, on the lower floor, so if that creeps you out don't stay. Like i said, in any other circumstance, this would be a nice place to stay, but i have my bias. So if you are like me and to late to book at the Whalers, this should be your next stop.
