Best hostel I’ve stayed in. Rooms were very clean as were bathrooms. The beds also have curtains which is a great thing in hostels gives you much more privacy. Staff were very helpful with any questions and they have lots of flyers for information of what to do in the area.

Wished I would have stayed longer than one night. Sure, bunk beds are not for everyone, but the rest is worth some snoring roommates. The sauna with the river next to it to take a cold dip and the outdoor fireplace are awesome. Many fun people from around the globe to talk to, hence a great option if you are a solo traveler. Joel, the hostel keeper, is chill and friendly.

This is a lovely hostel in a great location in Lake Louise and close to the Icefield Parkway. We had a room with a private bathroom so only shared the showers which were new and spotlessly clean. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of tables to sit at.

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.

It’s the only hostel-camp in the 30km radius. It exists and provides safety. It has intermittent electricity and intermittent internet access.
