Set in Jasper, Jasper East Hostel - Near Jasper National Park East Gate Entrance features a shared lounge. The hostel offers both free WiFi and free private parking.

All guest rooms at the hostel come with a private bathroom and bed linen. I have stayed four nights in total at the Jasper East Hostel where I was warmly welcomed by Angie and Michael. As a solo hiker in Jasper, Angie offered assistance and took the time to finetune my itinerary to make the most of my stay here in Jasper. I also saw her helping many other guests like that. She is just very present and involved, putting her heart into it. I was initially planning to go to the visitor centre for information, but there was no need anymore because of Angie’s input. I think this is really the added value of this hostel. The personal approach every single day. I enjoyed every minute of it. I honestly felt so at home that I could have stayed longer than four nights. After a whole day out, it feels very nice to have place to go to at the end of the day that feels a bit like home. And that is exactly what Angie did, make me feel at home. Communication was very open: “if you need anything, please just ask. If there is anything we can improve, please share it with us”. To put this in action: we actually even did some redecorating together! I have to say that the place is much more open and cosy than how I imagined it from the pictures. The people I met at the hostel were not the typical youngsters. A bit of a calmer audience and this was just what I was looking for in this type of setting. Very social atmosphere and met a lot of lovely people and had interesting conversations. There is free coffee and tea for the taking, which is always a plus for me as well. I also liked the single room with bathroom. The outside area is very cosy as well. A visit to the brewery next door is a must! Good service and food (big portions - suggest to take any leftovers to the hostel where you can reheat them for the next day).

Situated in Canmore, 29 km from The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore Alpine Hostel - Alpine Club of Canada features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 29 km from Banff Park Museum. The 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.
