This is a great hostel in downtown Canmore. There is a bus stop just outside the hostel where you can catch the bus to Banff. There are plenty of food options around, as well as a beautiful boardwalk. They have excellent facilities; everything is modern and clean, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We can definitely recommend it, and we would love to come back in the future.

Location is very strategic and accessible. The staffs were very courteous and knowledgeable. They're always willing to answer your questions and guide you on a cheaper way to access the town. The washroom is always kept clean. The cleanliness of the place is highly recommendable to all intending guests.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, and well-organized. The beds are cozy, and everything you might need is available.Spacious kitchen and a relaxing common area. Friendly and respectful staff, a nice outdoor area, free water refills, and vending machines. No hidden fees or unpleasant surprises. If I return to Lake Louise, I’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Lovely little hostel. It felt very much like the guesthouses I have stayed in in some parts of Europe. The rooms were clean, comfortable and very nicely equipped. The main gathering areas were comfortable and had everything you need. The staff were very welcoming as well. Lots of parking! Directions given were great as it is out of GPS range and made it super easy to find. I would definitely stay again.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in. Rooms were very clean as were bathrooms. The beds also have curtains which is a great thing in hostels gives you much more privacy. Staff were very helpful with any questions and they have lots of flyers for information of what to do in the area.

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.

It’s the only hostel-camp in the 30km radius. It exists and provides safety. It has intermittent electricity and intermittent internet access.
