“Pretty good value as a hostel”
The hostel was adequate, with a good kitchen, a little light on relaxing areas. The best part were the reception staff. A lady called Calister was super helpful… which made such a difference! Locked undercover bike storage.

“Good budget option for accommodation in Banff”
The location is good with 10-15 minutes walking to the main shopping hub. A good budget option for accommodation in Banff. There is a fridge inside our room (6 females with ensuite bathroom), which is very convenient.

“comfortable and wonderful stay”
Located at the entrance of the Banff, a little bit departed from the main area but right beside of the main street of the city, the hostel provided very good access to the well-known downtown area on foot in less than ten minutes and was well equipped with every kinds of facilities for our three-night stay. The managers were very kind and experienced so that we could be advised how to get a very precious opportunity to see the fantastic view on the top of the Sulfer Mountain during the days in cloud and drizzling. The cost of stay was reasonable for us, three men who should use seperate beds in a comfortable space together with kitchens, laundry rooms, car parking lots, lobby tables, etc. Everywhere in the city could be accessed on foot and the convenience shops and gas stations are very close. I will stay there again if I go there again.

“Affordable quiet stay for a group in Banff!”
We stayed in the family loft and it was a great place to rest. It’s a few blocks away from the town center and it was easy to leave from there to get to early morning shuttles. The family room is very private, even in a separate building than the regular hostel rooms. Skip the overpriced hotel and stay here with your own kitchen and bathroom.

“Only for 1 or 2 nights.”
The best part was having a private bedroom with a private bathroom (I rented a room with 4 beds), and the staff were friendly. The kitchen has ample storage space, but it could have been cleaner.
