Located in Calgary and with Calgary Tower reachable within 6.2 km, The Calgary Hub hostel style Home provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. Each room is fitted with a patio. Staying at the homestay was a really relaxing and comfortable experience. Ben and Marthika were very informative from the beginning on where things were around the home and provided helpful information about the area. Meeting other travellers was a highlight at the homestay as who I met tended to be longer-duration guests who had interesting stories to share about their time in Canada. The blueberry waffles were well-prepared and delicious, hitting the home-cooked itch I didn’t know I wanted. I would definitely recommend this accommodation because of the friendly staff and enjoyable communal environment.

The location is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet getaway.

The hostel itself was clean, cozy, and well maintained. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organized.
