The most beautiful location surrounded by mountains. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hostel setup is as good as I’ve seen - beds have curtains, lockers and space under the bed. Everyone has their own plug socket, light etc. Well built bed frames so you’re not being disturbed by other guests in their bunks. Decent sized kitchen with lots of hob/stove space. Large TV in the common area to watch sports and films was a nice touch

I had a fantastic experience here as my first stop in Canada. The space is very comfortable, and the people (both staff and guests) are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It really felt like a great community.

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.
