We loved our stay at Mosquito Creek Hostel, we had the place to ourselves due to low traffic in the winter. The caretaker was friendly, he made sure we were comfortable and knew our way around. As an avid skier, he was happy to share his suggestions about ski touring in the area which was greatly appreciated. He kindly turned on the wifi for a short period which allowed us to quickly check important emails, but otherwise we enjoyed switching off and immersing in the Rockies serenity. Don’t forget to check out the sauna, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a big day on the slopes ⛷️

hear private room , kitchen , sauna ! great and helpful host Ralph (ask him for tours in the area )

Lovely quiet place, clean and a great opportunity to meet different people. Well kept and convenient, in the middle of nature.

Our host Ralph was superb, kind, helpful, generous and a gentleman. The location in the nature. The bbq at night. Thank you very much for everyrhing.

Sauna, river dip after sauna, campfire, people, well-equipped kitchen, cosy lounge room with fireplace.

HI Mosquito Creek gives you the true experience of Banff and wilderness living, with a wood sauna, a friendly host, amazingly fun hostel mates, a spring to jump in to with friends and a campfire. I will be recounting my stay there to friends for a very very long time.

I LOVED how friendly and helpful the hostel manager was. He really helped with sharing his knowledge on local sites to visit. It was an experience in itself and I cant wait to bring my kids back in the future. I do not have kids yet but we will stay here. I cant wait to go back already

We really liked the warm friendly atmosphere. The lounge is a great space. Ralp was very welcoming and shared good information on the area.

Cozy rooms, nice and helpful host, great sauna included

We have been stayed at this place two times before. The place is now exceptionally well maintained. To our surprise, it also provides room lighting with solar energy.
