The room was nice and clean. We booked a whole block with our friends, so our toilet was inside our block. It was clean as well. I also liked that there was an adjustable heating system.

“Cozy cabin feel, very clean and comfy”
The hostel felt like a cozy wooden cabin in the woods, with lots of parking. Very clean, with comfy beds and fresh linen. Easy access to local hikes made it perfect for outdoor activities.

“Good spot for family to save money if staying in Lake Louise area.”
We stayed at HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre and overall really enjoyed the experience. The bedroom was pretty much exactly what we expected from a hostel — simple and practical — although our heating didn’t work when we arrived and we had to grab a space heater from the front desk. That said, the shared common spaces absolutely made this place for us. The loft area was such a great atmosphere to unwind at the end of the day with a red wine in front of the fire while playing pool and cards with our kids and parents. We also really liked that other families were using the common areas too, which gave it a relaxed and welcoming feel. It wasn’t a super party-style hostel, which suited us perfectly, and ended up serving our family really well as a comfortable and affordable mountain stay.

The property was nice and inviting. Located on the edge of the forest in a quiet spot. I booked to stay in the hostel shared room and was upgraded to a private room.

I booked a private room. It was comfortable with the restroom and the shower just beside. The restaurant is the discovery of the place. Everything was tasty!
