Basic hostel in Banff
Your basic busy hostel. Single beds, nothing special about it. Probably your cheapest option in Banff by far. Breakfast is included which was nice

Great location and price!
Juncheng, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were lovely here - very helpful, friendly, responsive. I was surprised to find it a quiet and pleasant place to stay, despite sleeping in a room with 5 other people. More reasonable price than other lodgings in Banff-you can't get a hotel room for under $500! I returned here after travelling for 4 days because I had a good first visit.
Leslie, 2-night trip

The property is nice just like any budget hostel however the staff is super helpful.

Great hostel
As a solo traveller staying here is a great way to make new friends, the staff are extremely kind and helpful, the beaver bar downstairs has a great atmosphere and the food is incredible

everything was great, thank you
Kaya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the breakfast in the morning, easy to socialize at the bar downstairs and get some affordable food and drinks. Service was excellent and very close to everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the bunk beds are creaky so it’s hard to be quiet when you get into bed in the evening and the noise might be an issue for some.
Jana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All what I expected
Claudia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice rooms and amenities and breakfast and great location. Rooms could benefit from having a small quieter work area with access to electrical plugs and a table.
Jeremy, 6-night trip

Overall great, parking was very limited and difficult

10/10 Exceptional

I like the friendly atmosphere, and service .I stayed in the all womens dormitory with 6 beds ,the price was fair and the beds and amenities were very clean and well looked after . Great spot to eat ,drink and rest from a long day of hiking or if your looking to just retreat and rest up from a long day.

I liked the rooms , and in suite bathroom, the curtains surrounding each bed gave some privacy that was much needed . And the front desk team and the bar team are all wonderful .

Rodner, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall: Reception and staff were always helpful. Its a quaint stay, since you're mainly paying for a place to sleep, shower, and rest. First Hostel experience, and I can confidently say I could do again. For budget travelers, adventurers, and newly singled it works.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my first time staying in a hostel and it exceeded expectations! I walked in and went straight to the happy hour (4-6pm) and met great people immediately! The atmosphere was conducive to socializing and have a great time. Additionally, the (bunk) beds were very comfortable and I felt safe staying there. I would stay there again for sure!
