United KingdomGreat place, facilities are amazing, staff are helpful. They have a bus pass you can use and also let us borrow bear spray. It was easy to get around with the bus pass. Kitchen is great, storage space in there is good. Lockers in rooms and you can leave your stuff if you're still exploring. Bathroom was good and spacious. Was great, best hostel I've ever stayed in.

CanadaThe location of the hostel is exceptional: very secluded in the woods, on a fairly steep slope of SW exposure, lots of sunshine day time (even in winter :-), beautiful view from the deck towards Three Sisters. Main lodge and the cabins are built in classic alpine style. The place is far enough from the hwy not to hear it but close enough to downtown Canmore (5 min or so). The interior of the main lodge is very cozy and stylish (wood), too; the common use rooms are nicely decorated, etc. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 1,524 reviewsBest hostel in Banff; from the location being just a 5-10 min walk from the main shops/bars/restaurants to the staff who make you feel right at home - would highly recommend! Love the themed nights at the Beaver Bar, there's also a big common room area to meet people in a more chilled setting. Bedrooms are really cosy, most of them have a fireplace, super comfy beds, ensuite bathroom... and the breakfast is pretty diverse from eggs, fruit and English muffins to pancakes, and homemade muffins everyday - what more could you ask for!Guest review byNicoleSolo traveller

I was just using the hostel as a base while visiting a friend in Banff. The staff and other residents were all really nice and I appreciated the company and chats. Wifi worked well, bed was fine and room was clean. I didn't use the showers as went to friends place for a shower. A very safe place to be and didn't worry about my belonging going missing. Stored my skis and boots all stay with no problems.Guest review byJuliaSolo traveller

It was initially recommended to me, as a a great place to stay if you're new to Banff, as the atmosphere is both welcoming and friendly. Its not the cheapest hostel but the staff are great, the location is excellent and they both feel comfortable and safe.Guest review byMrs HGroup
