Worked remotely from there. Stable wifi. Kitchen and bathroom are always clean. The bus stop is just in front of the hostel so easy to explore. Walking distance to town. Supermarket is close :)

This place is amazing, just book in, you definitely will not regret it! Location is fantastic, rooms, bed and facilities are perfect, its one of the best places I have ever stayed and I have travelled a lot. The rooms are first class hotel quality, with the friendly communal areas that come with it being a hostel. A total hidden gem!

The location was perfect. Away from the town. Set in an amazing setting. Floor to ceiling glass with views over the mountains. The Three Sisters stood gloriously within eyes view. Hikes two mins from Lodge. The lodge was exceptionally spotless clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Outdoor and indoor seating for eating. I cannot fault this accommodation.

We had a really lovely stay at this hostel! The location is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet getaway. Everything we needed was just a short walk or drive away, which made exploring the area super easy. One of the things we appreciated most was the free parking 2 mins walking to the property. The hostel itself was clean, cozy, and well maintained. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organized. We’d absolutely stay here again — great value, great location, and a truly comfortable stay overall!

A clean hostel with friendly staff. I had a bathroom in my room, which was great. There was a large kitchen, and a plus: the ability to store luggage without checking in. 4 female bedroom

Basically everything. Well, I am used to cheaper hostels but that's a normal price for Canada. The room was huge (I think 12 bed room) and the bed was comfy. The breakfast was good and long (7:30-10:30). The kitchen is huge and there are shelves to leave your food. Also, three fridges. Dining/leisure room is nice. The location is good, too.

Very clean, great location, amazing views of the mountains from the chill area and the rooms. The kitchen facilities were very good, and I liked the bed curtains for privacy and the fact the bunk beds are secured to the wall so they don’t rattle when the person above is getting into bed.

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.
