My stay at this hostel in Canmore was absolutely perfect. From the moment I arrived, the receptionists were super friendly and helpful – they made me feel right at home. They also gave me great tips on nearby hikes and local spots to eat (definitely ask them if you're not sure where to start!). The bed was really comfortable – perfect after a full day of outdoor adventures. But the best part? The views. I had a room with a window facing the mountains and waking up to that scenery each morning was just breathtaking. If you can, try to get a room with mountain views – it adds something really special to the experience. The hostel was clean, cozy, and had a relaxed vibe that made it easy to meet other travelers. Plus, it’s in a great location – close to the town center and with easy access to amazing trails. I’d absolutely stay here again next time I’m in Canmore. It’s a great base whether you're into hiking, skiing, or just relaxing and soaking in the views. Highly recommend!

Staying at the homestay was a really relaxing and comfortable experience. Ben and Marthika were very informative from the beginning on where things were around the home and provided helpful information about the area. Meeting other travellers was a highlight at the homestay as who I met tended to be longer-duration guests who had interesting stories to share about their time in Canada. The blueberry waffles were well-prepared and delicious, hitting the home-cooked itch I didn’t know I wanted. I would definitely recommend this accommodation because of the friendly staff and enjoyable communal environment.

Surrounded by a forest, it's quiet and the air is very clean. The accommodations are comfortable, very clean, and well-maintained, and the owner is very friendly.

We had a really lovely stay at this hostel! The location is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet getaway. Everything we needed was just a short walk or drive away, which made exploring the area super easy. One of the things we appreciated most was the free parking 2 mins walking to the property. The hostel itself was clean, cozy, and well maintained. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organized. We’d absolutely stay here again — great value, great location, and a truly comfortable stay overall!

The location of the hostel is exceptional: very secluded in the woods, on a fairly steep slope of SW exposure, lots of sunshine day time (even in winter :-), beautiful view from the deck towards Three Sisters. Main lodge and the cabins are built in classic alpine style. The place is far enough from the hwy not to hear it but close enough to downtown Canmore (5 min or so). The interior of the main lodge is very cozy and stylish (wood), too; the common use rooms are nicely decorated, etc. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

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.
