26 km from The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore Downtown Hostel is situated in Canmore and features air-conditioned rooms. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 27 km from Banff Park Museum. Everything is clean, new, easy to find, friendly fellow travellers, and very walkable. I would stay here over the other hostel every single time. The price is fair, expect on weekends or holidays because they will raise them up. Large kitchen, huge fridges and tons of space. Spacious living room and tons of game to play. TV’s, and views all around!

Boasting Rocky Mountain views, HI-Banff Alpine Centre offers a café and a bar. Free WiFi and self catering kitchens are available for guests to use. Banff town centre is 4 minutes' drive away.

HI Banff provides each guest a free bus pass for the local transport system. Discounted ski packages, bike rental vouchers, and Summer rafting tickets are available. The staff here are amazing—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room is a bit tight for the number of beds, but it’s manageable. Adding privacy curtains to the bunk beds would make a big difference, especially given the limited space. The facilities are decent and kept clean. It’s conveniently located near the bus station. The location is great—away from the hustle and chaos of the town center and closer to the mountains, just the way I like it. Overall, it’s a great value for money and a solid spot to meet other backpackers and solo travelers.
