VietnamEvery thing was so great. The staff was so helpful and kind. I had problem in my trip and they tried their best to help me sovlve the problem. The Rider Express bus didn't show up to pick me to Vancouver and the hostel staff let me sleep in the lounge and use the facilities to wait for the next bus the next morning without paying any extra fee.

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.

Best hostel in Banff; from the location being just a 5-10 min walk from the main shops/bars/restaurants to the staff who make you feel right at home - would highly recommend! Love the themed nights at the Beaver Bar, there's also a big common room area to meet people in a more chilled setting. Bedrooms are really cosy, most of them have a fireplace, super comfy beds, ensuite bathroom... and the breakfast is pretty diverse from eggs, fruit and English muffins to pancakes, and homemade muffins everyday - what more could you ask for!

Staff are great
Rather expensive for a single bunk bed in a hostel when hostels are supposed to be the cheaper option and being a taller person in a bunk bed isn’t the greatest but other then it was good

This was my first hostel experience and definitely exceeded my expectations. Great staff, very clean and loved meeting new people and knowing their stories, doing a hike or two together.

The locations was great, very good value for money. I was just using the hostel as a base while visiting a friend in Banff. The staff and other residents were all really nice and I appreciated the company and chats.
Wifi worked well, bed was fine and room was clean. I didn't use the showers as went to friends place for a shower.
A very safe place to be and didn't worry about my belonging going missing.
Stored my skis and boots all stay with no problems.

My daughter and her friend have been staying since November.
It was initially recommended to me, as a a great place to stay if you're new to Banff, as the atmosphere is both welcoming and friendly.
Its not the cheapest hostel but the staff are great, the location is excellent and they both feel comfortable and safe.
