The room was very comfortable and clean, but what surprised us the most was the kitchen! Very big, with every type of equipment you would need, very clean always and tidy, plenty of fridges to store the food, etc. It was really a pleasure to cook there.

Definitely recommend staying at this place. Everything was clean, the staff was nice and the beds were comfortable. and the best thing is that I had booked a bunk bed for two nights, but when I checked in they upgraded me and gave me my room for the same price. I had my own room for two nights. A very nice and pleasant surprise. Thank you very much.

even though it's straight off the highway it feels like the middle of nowhere. which is exactly what i was looking for. even got a clear dark sky to see the milkyway (no light pollution at all!). even has wifi as long as the solar battery has juice :) mark was super friendly as we tried to spot some mountain goats as the sun went down.

Exceptionally helpful staff. Allowed us to check in early when we arrived after a cold night at a campsite. Also, helped to solve other issues always with a smile on their face. Hostel is also centrally located within walking distance to all main attractions in the town.

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.
