AustriaPhenomenal hostel- everything you expect from a hostel plus a fantastic restaurant, garden/outdoor area and ideal location.
The dorm rooms are small but fine, a toilet inside and showers outside of the dorm. Each bunk bed with USB charger, light. In my dorm room the other travellers were considerate and it was quiet, slept well.
You can sign up for shuttle bus (MPT -Mountain Park Transportation) to the lakes at the hostel, although I would recommend doing that online (and early!) - Moraine Lake is especially busy during tourist season. The bus stop for this shuttle bus (there are several) is right outside, hostels parking lot. If you just want to visit Lake Louise lakeside the public bus might be the cheaper option, but a bit of a walk to this station.
You can either use the kitchen (buy food at the grocery store near visitor information, 8min walk) or enjoy the restaurant’s breakfast options.

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.

Great hostelGuest review byStephenYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: US$113.59Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,466 reviewsThe room was super basic but warm and comfy. The restaurant has a good menu and vibe. Its basically a youth hostel and nothing fancy, but good value considering most other accommodation in this high tourism area costs vastly more.Guest review byRobertYoung couple

We had a room with a private bathroom so only shared the showers which were new and spotlessly clean. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of tables to sit at.Guest review byPaulYoung couple

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 227 reviewsIt’s the only hostel-camp in the 30km radius. It exists and provides safety. It has intermittent electricity and intermittent internet access.Guest review byAndrewSolo traveller
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 227 reviewsLocation is next to lovely bubbling stream. There is a campsite opposite and the hostel is just off the main highway, but the sound of the stream drowned out any noise. The dormitory was clean, with bedding provided. Electric lights were in all rooms and there was WiFi for an hour in the evening. Kitchen had all the utensils and facilities we required. Two gas stoves & two fridges. Toilets are pit toilets as expected, but kept nice and clean. No specific washing area provided, so a splash in the stream freshened us up.Guest review bySuPeople with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 227 reviewsWe really liked the place where the hostel is situated. Near some beautiful lakes, high mountains and wild creek, which could serve as a cool down after sauna session. The place with its common room, kitchen and fireplace is designated for meeting some new people, which is adventurous and entertaining.Guest review byPavlaGroup
