My TripAdvisor Review No.456: Cheaky's Licensed Cafe, Whistler, Canada.

Good For A Quick Breakfast.

Located in the lobby of the HI Hostel near Cheakmus Crossing, Whistler we found it to be a very good place to have a quick breakfast with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. It would open at 7 am and stayed open till 2 pm for lunch. We got muffins, panini and peanut butter toast for breakfast. There was a choice of cereals and cakes also available.

There were good options for lunch as well. It was closed after 2 pm so we had to go elsewhere for dinner.

My TripAdvisor Review No.455: HI Whistler, Whistler, BC, Canada.

Simple and Elegant.

HI Whistler is a simple but elegant accommodation in the mountain resort of Whistler about 2 hours’ drive from Vancouver. We stayed in a private room for two with a queen size bed, a TV, a table, two bedside tables, and an open closet with hangers. There is wall-to-wall carpeting. The en-suite bathroom was quite large with running hot water, liquid soap dispenser and toilet paper provided. Clean towels, napkins, bed linen and blankets were provided. The room ac was dysfunctional but it was not required during the night as it was quite cool, and a pedestal fan had been provided in case it became hot in the afternoon.

There was Cheaky’s Café in the lobby where we would have our breakfast and coffee and then catch the No.20 shuttle bus to Whistler Village and roam around for the day. There is a community kitchen and laundry room which we made use and both are very convenient to use. The use of the kitchen is free, but the laundry is pay per use. Of course you have to tidy up after your use.

The surroundings of the hostel are very green and ringed in by the mountains. There are walking and cycling tracks nearby, and the ‘Train Wreck’ site is within a 2 km walking distance through a path leading into the wilderness. The shuttle bus from Whistler Village runs every 20 minutes and drops you at the hostel for $2.50 a ride.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a lounge with a lot of reading material. Use of the kitchen is free and there is a decent dining hall attached. One can even sit out in the open veranda and enjoy the scenery while having your meal.

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at HI Whistler.
