From Wikitravel:
"Budget
The cheapest accomodation is in the Chinatown and east side of downtown Vancouver where prices for a single bed in a dorm range from CDN$15 to CDN$20 per night, double rooms with bed, fridge, TV and free internet for about CDN$30-CDN$35 per night. There are many options to choose from, try:
Grand Trunk, 55 Powell St., +1 604-681-8968, [67].
Pender Lodge, 431 East Pender St., +1 604-681-8968, [68]. Run by the people who own Grand Trunk
American Backpackers Hostel, 347 West Pender St., +1 604-688-0112, [69]
London Guard Motor Inn, On Kingsway between Victoria St. and Naniamo St.
Alternatively, further up the budget range, there are 'hostelling international' youth hostels for those more interested in nightlife in three different locations in Vancouver:
HI-Vancouver Central, 1025 Granville St., +1 604-685-5335, [70]. Hostel.
HI-Vancouver Downtown, 1114 Burnaby St., +1 604-684-4565, [71]. Hostel.
HI-Vancouver Jericho Beach, 1515 Discovery St., +1 604-224-3208, [72]. Open May 1st to September 30th. Hostel. Jericho Beach is in Vancouver/Kitsilano and is the location of the view photographed above.
There is the Same Sun youth hostel in the same price range as the HI hostels (unlike HI they allow extended stays with weekly discounted rates for int'l travelers), and handily located just across the road from the Granville St. HI (note, this area is very noisy at the weekends):
SameSun Vancouver, 1018 Granville St., +1 604-682-8226, [73]. The Largest hostel in downtown Vancouver fully equipted with a good vibe and the "Beaver Bar". Not ashamed of the more lively atmosphere that can sometimes lean on the noisy side, this hostel is a common choice for first time travelers seeking a social atmosphere.
And also:
Columbia Hotel, 303 Columbia St., +1 604-683-3757, [74].
Cambie Hostel - Gastown 300 Cambie Street (at Cordova Street), +1 604 684-6466, toll free +1 877 395-5335, [75].
Cambie Hostel - Seymour, 515 Seymour Street (between West Pender and Dunsmuir), +1 604-684-7757, toll free +1 866-623-8496, [76].
C&N Backpackers Hostel, 927 Main Street, +1 604-682-2441, toll free +1 888-434-6060, [77].
C&N Central Station Hostel, 1038 Main Street, +1 604-681-9118 [78]"

I haven't been to Canada... yet: so I can't make recommendations. |

Not sure just how cheap is cheap....
The comfort inn out by the airport is CAD$85 per night and includes breakfast for everyone registered in the room and free internet hookup. |

The Barclay Hotel on Robson street starts at about $50 per night(low season.) Humble enough, but clean and right downtown. Believe they have a breakfast buffet that is cheap, too.
