Initially, they put me in a room with stupid people. They left all the clothes scattered around, smelling terribly of sweaty feet; I could barely breathe. The receptionist changed my room, and I had one to myself for one night. Thank you, kind receptionist! You saved me.

Every thing was so great. The staff was so helpful and kind. I had problem in my trip and they tried their best to help me sovlve the problem. The Rider Express bus didn't show up to pick me to Vancouver and the hostel staff let me sleep in the lounge and use the facilities to wait for the next bus the next morning without paying any extra fee.

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.

Well maintained. Big kitchen and other common areas. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! Different activities every day, I liked that it was both group hikes but also pub quiz etc. Overall, very happy with my stay.
