    Very basic but that's all they hold out to be. Super nice people. Could be a lot of fun for young people or families. Great common cooking area. Love being in town vs being up on the hill

    I was a bit uncertain about how to check out. I wasn't aware that they would take care of the bed linens. I've had to drop them in a basket at other hostels. Also, I didn't have a towel for the shower and didn't realize this until the morning. I was up before the office opened, so I had to use my clothes from the previous day to dry off with. Heads up, if you need a towel, it might be good to ask at check-in.

    Great hostel! Love the pods over a bunk. It's waaaaay better. Highly recommend! On-site pub. I stayed a Monday night, and there was an open mic night, which was a very good surprise.

    The bed was a little uncomfortable. Was not able to sleep all that well. The pods are small and I'm a big guy, so really not the fault of the establishment.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. Gave a great recommendation for some good food and a great place to watch the hockey game only a short walk away. Walking distance to most necessities. The place was clean and quiet while I was there.

    An okay experience (subjective)

    Noisy pub downstairs, though they made an effort to sound proof, you can still hear it when the room is quiet (when you try to sp sleep). The central heating has been pumped up to Sahara-level heat, to cool the place down and get any air, you have to open a small window into the hallway, where everyone is walking back and fourth, right in front of it too (all rooms are like this). You will love this place if you have fun at the bar downstairs and then crash in the room to sleep it off. Not the greatest experience if you like the quiet and the privacy.

    Nice owners. Place has a cool vibe to it. Beds were okay, it was clean.

    Perhaps a bit more of basic foods in the kitchen, like salt, pepper, oil,... as some people just stop by a night or two and cannot carry all of these cooking basics with them. However, pots, pans and cooking tools were fine to me.

    As for my other stay in Jasper, very clean, warm and nicely organized hostel. Awesome kitchen, which I used both for dinner and breakfast.

    I didn't like that I couldn't book for a month stay. But they have there reasons. There wasn't much to dislike really. The mattresses in the pod rooms are not to comfy, but when your looking for cheaper rates, you can't expect crem da la crem! Everyone is different. If you don't mind meeting new people or sharing space with them, it's not for you. They have private rooms. I haven't stayed in one so I cannot rate that as of yet. Hope this helps.

    I've never stayed in a hostel/hotel before. I started work in B.C and booked a tent site down the road. The payment system they had made it difficult to continue staying there. I needed a decent, affordable place to stay and fast. the Elk Adventure lodge was the only place under the 60$ a nite range so I booked it for the rest of my 2 week stay. I got a pod room which is on the hostel side of the hotel. it was very neat to see. It was like staying in a fort that my daughter and I make at home. the place was very clean. Cleaner than I expected that's for sure. 4 woman's showers and shared washroom. Staff was very Friendly and polite. I enjoyed the family game room, theater room, and open shared kitchen. was like being at home. There is a lounge connected to the place as well and it was still nice and quiet even with other people in the room. the respect was shared amongst strangers so others could sleep.

    Thin walls. We could hear our neighbours clearly.

    Great location but thin walls. Nice staff and a fun atmosphere. We arrived on karaoke night and it was loud in our room. But we were so tired it didn’t matter. This is more like a hostel than a hotel but it had availability when other properties didn’t.

    Room option was advertised on Booking.com as "deluxe pod", but it looks more like a fancy dormitory. It's expensive for the amount of personal space.

    We were given a room above the bar and were not able to sleep till midnight because it was (Thursday)Karaoke night. Suffice to say we did not have a great sleep.

    The location was good. We needed a place to stop on our way to a funeral in Grand Forks and it was the cheapest we could find. It was clean and we had our own private bathroom and a nice view of the mountains from our room.

    I guess it would be great if you were 20 and cruising with your bahds. They only gave us 2 bath towels in a "Family Room" that sleeps 5, no hand towels, no faceclothes. The bathtub had no plug, but considering it only had a showerhead and no faucet, I guess that kinda made sense. The bathroom "mirror" was 4 small square stick-on tiles that were spaced apart with two horizontal and two turned 45 degrees. There's only one outlet in the room, good thing I carry a powerbar. No AC but a couple of fans in the room. (Which would have used up both outlets if not for the powerbar I mentioned previously.) It was super hot in our room, I didn't even cover up with the sheet. The key was mostly pointless since I could slide the window open from the outside , reach in, and turn the doorknob from inside - but you need your key to access the hallway where the rooms are, so it served a small purpose. I guess they had a Nazi as a guest once because there was a swastika drawn in the emergency stairwell that was only partially erased - someone tried to make it a pinwheel reading "FOOL," but it was still obvious. They also take a $100 damage deposit on the room, which is kinda hilarious.

    There were beds for all of us and it was clean. Great location with easy access to nice cafes and restaurants.

    I booked a pod, so no breakfast was provided, and that is perfectly okay. I wanted basic accommodation as a stop-over on my trip to Penticton and the pod worked out very well. The shared shower and bathroom was much appreciated, as the drive to get here was long and quite hot.
