IndiaIt has all the amenities you need like kitchen, common room, cafe, laundry.
Rooms and kitchen was clean. Location is good, not far from Banff market and they also give you free bus pass. There were many activities planned for a week. All in all the best hostel I stayed in Canada.

BrazilIt was super clean. We were afraid of the shared bathroom, but it was incredibly clean 24/7, both the male and female ones. Also, people seem to be pretty friendly and respectful. The bar in the lobby has cheap beers and live music some times. The location is just amazing!! In the heart of Canmore. We loved it!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 1,564 reviewsBest 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!Guest review byNicoleSolo traveler

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.Guest review byJuliaSolo traveler
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 1,564 reviewsMy 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.Guest review byMrs HGroup
