Location is great, 20mins drive to Lake Louis ski resort. Two stoves, one fridge. The fireplace is awesome! If one guy would not be snoring all night, that would be even better.. take earplugs with you!

The location was great, the kitchen was well equipped and I liked that they had a bonfire and a barbecue grill.

The quiet, foresty area around was great, as the hostess!

“Second stay in lovely hostel”

Second time to stay there Nice place and good location to discover Banff and lake Louise

The location was great, the kitchen was well equipped and I liked that they had a bonfire and a barbecue grill.

“Would definitely recommend for a stay”

The location is absolutely perfect—close to everything and super convenient. The hostel was very clean and well-kept, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. As a fun surprise, we even spotted a bear on the property (from a safe distance!)—definitely a memorable experience. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

“A lovely hostel and great stay.”

Good location, friendly staff, well equipped, good amount of social space and the dorm was spacious.

Lovely lounge with cosy seats and fireplace!

“Nice stay in Banff NP”

Nice location in Banff NP. Bathroom and kitchen clean and tidy. Fireplace in the common area was great. Very friendly staff.

“Potentially great stay but made bad because of some guests behaviour”

The place itself and the service were great actually. Beds are comfy and you cannot beat the price. Clear instruction were given about the place and how it was to be run by the guests. The winter condition with the new snow during the night made the landscape a very nice postcard and very magical place especially with Christmas around the corner.

A really nice and little remote (you need a car to get there) place in nature with access to the lakes and hikes. We really liked the cozy common room with the fireplace in the middle and Shawna was a lovely host :) Kitchen and bathroom were always clean and well organized and there's even a washer and dryer available. We enjoyed our stay, thank you! :)

Had all the basics, very cosy vibe. Incredible for stargazing

Great location. Lars, who worked there was very friendly and willing to help, to answer all the questions about hikes around. Kitchen fully equiped.

Nice location, good place to stay in Banff park as a hostel. (This is dormitory, be ware of)

cheap, convenient location between Banff and Lake Louise

“Nice location but not a warm welcome”

It is a youth hostel so it comes with all the positives of that. You can meet great people from all walks of life and you normally pay a reasonable price.

“Nice place in wild place”

The staff help us and guide us in everything that we needed. Kitchen and common places clean

“Very economical and its a cozy place.”

Amazing location in the wilderness.

“Very peaceful, away from the crowds”

Nice and cozy place. Very peaceful and away from the crowds. Not too many people stay in the hostel at once, so it felt like a family. (There is one male and one female dorm) Installations were very clean and organized. The hostel manager was nice and friendly.
