Average hostel experience, there is a electric plug next to the bed and a cabinet that can be locked with a padlock. the bathroom is shared outside of the room, but it is well organized. If you have forgotten something, spare shampoo tooth paste etc.. are available in the bathroom probably left behind by someone.

Perfect spot to rest . We enjoyed the suggestion to refresh at the stream or walk uo the hill behind or relax by the fire . We enjoyed hearing fellow travelers adventures . Since we were mostly tent camping but all sites were full on the weekend we had our own pillow , sheet and sleeping bag but those are offered nice and clean for weary travelers.

Very clean and well-kept place! Everything you might need was available, and the kitchen, shower, and bathroom were all clean and comfortable. The location is beautiful, with so many great spots to explore nearby. The staff were also very friendly and gave us lots of helpful tips about the area and sightseeing places. We honestly felt like we made a good friend there. We really wish we could have stayed one more day!

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.
