The restaurant is one of the best things of the place. And the kitchen was ok if you bring your food for cooking

The friendly and helpful staff, the entertainment activities provided by the hostel staff (hikings everyday, karaoke), the safety..

Márcia, Brazil

The beds are pretty standard for a hostel so not the most comfortable but the little town is amazing. The views are great, the cook in the restaurant is FANTASTIC (breakfast was delicious and she was all alone), the separate bathrooms were much easier for accommodating 3 people and were very clean.

Alexandra, United States of America

Lovely staff here, so friendly and helpful. If you can get into the little restaurant for breakfast there's a great choice and lovely food. Easy bus connections into the town if you don't feel like driving. Good place for staying in Banff but expensive for what you get compared to staying outside of the town.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“The location is fantastic. Not really far from the city centre, but with the mountains view. You can walk down the centre or go by car. There are a lot of activities planned for the whole week with the team of the hostel if you are traveling solo.”

“Before my travel to Canada and to this hostel I had thought that a hostel in everywhere is a dirty place with a lot of people. A reality is another. This hostel is an amazing place in the Tunnel Mointain where there is a free route (free ticket pass on the reception at check-in time) of public buses since 06:25 until 23:25 from a downtown of Banff. The trip takes 10 minutes. This hostel located through a forest and has a fresh air around. I was staying in the room 404 with 4 bunk beds where also two girls and one man live. I was surprised that in the same room the different gender people can live. It's funny😀 I very like that only youth people live here because it is cheaper that any hotel or B&B. By nights nobody snores. It's very good. There is a kitchen and a freeze in the hostel on the ground floor for the shared using.”

“Though it is a hostel and you see mostly younger generation but it wasn't noisy at all. Everywhere was pretty clean. The kitchen was the part that I really liked using and it gave me the liberty to prepare whatever I had in mind! the furniture in the lobby was different in a good way. Staff is friendly and you have a chance to socialize. Furthermore, the parking is free and you can be away from the hustle of downtown. is very close to hiking trails”

눉Room is pretty small - it’s basically to sleep and store your stuff. Everything else you do (including restrooms) is outside of the room (not a negative for me but not the most convenient).
눇The beds are pretty standard for a hostel so not the most comfortable but the little town is amazing. The views are great, the cook in the restaurant is FANTASTIC (breakfast was delicious and she was all alone), the separate bathrooms were much easier for accommodating 3 people and were very clean.

눉Staying in a hostel really depends on the self-awareness of guests. We stayed 2 times, one in a room with shared bathroom, another time a private room with bathroom on our own. The private bathroom was spacious. The shared bathroom has 2 showers, 3 toilets, and 4 sinks. Might be busy in the morning.
