Offering mountain bike storage and an on-site bike shop, this restored heritage hostel is located in Cumberland, on Vancouver Island. It is 35 km from the biking trails at Mount Washington.

The staff at The Cumberland Riding Fool Hostel is knowledgeable about the surrounding area and maps are available for mountain biking trips.

The Riding Fool, located in an old building, has retained its quaintness and sense of historical charm. The facilities, including the shared kitchen and the bathrooms were immaculate. Our room was extremely comfortable. If we find ourselves in Cumberland again we will definitely stay here!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Gorgeous hostel, very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. Cute little guest garden where we sat and listened to a concert being hosted next door. Great community. Made me want to move in! I was really sad I only booked one night. Lots of interesting things to do around the place, amazing local trails, restaurants and a local museum. Highly recommend a visit to Cumberland and this hostel, it was one of my trip highlights.

    Architecturally, it's a very nice building with a large, spacious common room and kitchen and the nicest washrooms I've seen in a hostel or lower priced motels.

    The hostel was in a central location-handy for both shops and trailheads. It was tastefully decorated and furnished. It was spacious with plenty of good cooking and storage facilities. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms fresh and airy. We enjoyed the pool table and dart board.

    And I've stayed in a lot of hostels. Riding Fool was incredibly clean, staff incredibly helpful ("Are you the guy with the Subaru? Your lights are on."), and very quiet, maybe because it wasn't mountain biking season and there was a somewhat older clientele.

    Cumberland is my favorite little town on Vancouver Island. It's always great to have a stopover at the riding Fool Hostel on my way up or down Vancouver Island. This hostel concept is super user-friendly. Facilities are great, especially the large open living room space with the fireplace in the middle.
