Reasonably priced accommodation option in Banff (one of very few ones during the summer). Very friendly staff. Good wi-fi. Free pass for local public transportation. Possibility to borrow bear spray.

We stayed in a chalet cabin and the space was clean, bright, and pleasant. A great value for a private space and everything we needed. It is a hostel so there are no extra amenities in the room such as a coffee maker or iron. However, all this and more was available between the communal kitchen and laundry room. The cafe is reasonably priced although closed from 12-5pm so not ideal for lunch. The bar was fun and had great prices also. Staff was friendly and helpful and always available. We would definitely stay here again as the value cannot be beat.

my first time travelling solo and staying at a hostel. can’t beat this location. beds were very comfortable, solid down to earth place that truly felt like a home with absolutely delightful staff at the front desk and plenty of free parking. best rates in the city. bartender Ricky was fabulous.

I liked the location because it is out of the centre and it's more relaxed and quiet. The views are spectacular, beds comfortable and the bus ticket to use within Banff was a nice surprise :)

the great spacious cabin - I did not stay in the hostel part of the property but it seems great. it has restaurant and pub onsite. amazing welcoming and friendly staff from reception to the restaurant. affordable restaurant with good options. they have parking onsite but I am see it being filled quickly so beware of that but not big deal. it's nearby a bus stop if you don't have a car. I believe they offer a shuttle service or bus pass. the wifi was fast. they have a spring bed it's quite old school I'm not sure if I slept wrong but I woke up with back ache/pain maybe because I'm not used to spring beds. all in all it was a great cabin for the price and very clean.

I didn't explore much, I just walked downtown to eat dinner. The location is good considering it's the only really affordable place to stay in Banff, unless you want to pay a few hundred dollars a night for a chalet or hotel room. Also, getting there is less of a headache, as you can avoid the main strip that's usually a slow painful drive through town.

Rooms were comfy and clean. The food in the restaurant was great and well priced. although the hostel is away from central Banff, the free (with deposit) bus pass was perfect and it didn’t feel hard to get around!
