Towels were not provided, which made it impossible to shower during my stay. A 4pm check-in is also not reasonable given the cost structure. This is not a nightly rate—you are effectively paying hourly. I checked in at 4pm as required and left at 5am, resulting in a 13-hour stay that did not reflect the price paid. In my view, the latest check-in should be 2pm, and basic amenities such as towels should be provided as a standard requirement anywhere in the world.

Excellent location

Yes

Friendly staff, easy to check in.

Bottom bunk next to window, no curtain in window, no curtain at foot of bed (which is where the door was). So I had to string up clothing and towels for a modicum of privacy while I slept. Got out of the room as quick as I could. If I were 19, maybe, but not as an adult.

Yes Staff was courteous and helpful. Well recommended.

If you book with anitcipation and having a big group who dont mind sleeping in a same room then its a very cheap. Otherwise stay away. You get what you pay for. Its not clean at all.

Good and reasonale price. They have a simple Bf but filling. Staff are very nice. Also its quiet. close to downtown Banff which is good and walking distance to restaurants, cafe, IGA supermarket. I enjoyed my stay.

I was in town for a quick trip and had everything I needed and made some new friends!

If u like hostels, this is just as u would expect one (: Good price, clean and nice staff. Breakfast was okay, the kitchen small, so when it’s busy a little bit tricky. Everything is walkable, public transportation right in front of the door. The bed is loud when u turn and the mattress just okay comfortable but completely fine for 2-3 nights in my opinion. Nice outdoor seating options + comfy heated lobby. I love that they have a liquor store!! Amazing single can options which is nice for solo traveling.

It was quiet and dorm was well maintained. Everything close by

This is honestly a great place to stay for a few days, with a good breakfast spread and the friendliest staff ever, I loved interacting with them all and we laughed so much they really make the stay even better. We walked from the hostel to town every time and it is so close. I highly suggest this hostel :)

Overall, it was greate 1) Clean room 2) nice scenic view 3) it was fantastic to have breakfast options where its either cereal, pancakes, or toast+spread. Else cook your own using ingredients 4) laundry availability 5) quick service from staff 6) bear spray stock

Very nice hostel, staff helped me with finding a parking spot which I appreciated

Location was great where it was very walkable to all the shops and restaurants in the area. Stayed in the private room -- meant for 4 people, only 1 chair for sitting, would have been nice if there was at least 2 chairs, since it's not really an option to be sitting on the bunk beds to be doing things properly. The beds were too soft. Parking is tricky, but check with the staff to get assistance with finding a spot. Location was great where it was very walkable to all the shops and restaurants.

Good location

Good

Located in a great area, 10 minute walk into town, the room was clean and friendly helpful staff

Good for solo or broke travellers looking to save money & free breakfast. Liquor store right outside open until midnight

Good location in general but service was not good.
