Hostel Banff International Hostel
449 Banff Avenue, T1L 1A6 Banff, Canada – Great location - show map
The location is good and clean and tidy. Also affordable.
CanadaThe property was nicer than some hotels... the rooms were great and updated and modern. The staff was amazing. They gave suggestions of what to do in town. Very friendly, like family. They give an amazing cozy feel. Made so many friends in Banff and at the hostel. Best time of my life for only a short stay of 14 hours.
CanadaCOVID protocols are in placed. The receptionist, although she was technically on break, checked us in. She was very friendly. Hostel is on a good location. The room could use an upgrade but the shower temperature and pressure is great!
CanadaLocation is perfect and was not busy this time of year
CanadaRoom was clean and quiet, and the queen bed was comfortable. We had a really good sleep.
CanadaGreat location, helpful staff, comfortable facilities
Polandexcellent rooms, very clean, great for those traveling on a budget, and great front desk support. close to Banff downtown and good kitchen for those who need it.
IndiaThe room is clean, the washroom is kept very clean. Every bed has its own curtain so everyone has their own privacy. Everyone in our dorm behave very well. There is a mini fridge in our dorm. There are lockers and also one underneath the bottom bunk bed. There is a fan in the room. The room is quite dark so it makes you sleep in comfortably in the morning. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The lady at the front desk gave me a lot of information for what hikes to do around Banff. I never checked out the kitchen so I can’t comment on that. The laundry room is very neat. It opens from 8am-8pm. Though the price is quite high. 2.5 for washer and 2.5 for dryer and 1.5 for detergent. The hostel is a short walk to The central area where all the restaurants and shops are. It’s also a short walk to the Tunnel mountain trailhead. I stayed here for 3 days and definitely stay here again if I come back to Banff.
CanadaSuper awesome and helpful staff! Great location, easy to walk or catch the bus.
United States of AmericaI loved having the peanut butter and jelly sandwich & some apple juice right before leaving on a hike!
