Samesun Banff - Hostel

It was very messy, I was put in a room with many of the long term stayers that have been there for 5 months It was also pretty smokey throughout the halls whenever someone burnt something in the kitchen. It was not worth it paying the amount I did and staying there. There was also a used cup and spoon on my “new bunk”

Always a great experience staying at Samesun. Amazing opportunity to meet people from around the world. Beaver bar is always a great vibe. Best hostel in Banff.

Amazing experience

All what I expected

Was a very welcoming place

Safe and friendly vibes.

The staff were lovely here - very helpful, friendly, responsive. I was surprised to find it a quiet and pleasant place to stay, despite sleeping in a room with 5 other people. More reasonable price than other lodgings in Banff-you can't get a hotel room for under $500! I returned here after travelling for 4 days because I had a good first visit.

Your basic busy hostel. Single beds, nothing special about it. Probably your cheapest option in Banff by far. Breakfast is included which was nice

It was great for what is expected. Good location. Good food/drink special. Breakfast was underwhelming.

Great place to meet travellers from around the world

Love the breakfast in the morning, easy to socialize at the bar downstairs and get some affordable food and drinks. Service was excellent and very close to everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the bunk beds are creaky so it’s hard to be quiet when you get into bed in the evening and the noise might be an issue for some.

I didn't stay and i didnt get my refund back

everything was great, thank you

Quite like a dorm. Good choice for skiing.

Banff central location! Parking in Banff a bit challenging Breakfast (hot) a nice start before hiking Good daily eats for purchase each day. Super Staff

Very nice receptionist. Clean common area. I was charged a deposit when I booked. Ended up paying full price even after Orbitz explained I paid deposit two months ago. Staff was really nice and I don't blame them about the mix up. Breakfast is toast, boiled egg, pancakes, pineapple rings and cucumber slices. It was nice to start my day with a little something in my tummy.

Room and bathroom was durty and extremely loud

Nice place to stay, friendly staff. The bartender was fantastic! Overall very pleased with my stay here & will definitely be back in the future!

Overall: Reception and staff were always helpful. Its a quaint stay, since you're mainly paying for a place to sleep, shower, and rest. First Hostel experience, and I can confidently say I could do again. For budget travelers, adventurers, and newly singled it works.

While my stay was good, my only concern is that when parked underneath in there garage some of the roofing fell on to my car and while investigating the situation one of the workers just walked passed me and made no acknowledgment or ask if everything is ok. Theres only 7 stalls when then say limited parking, the girls at the front desk were super welcoming and the accommodations were clean and great.
