Clean room with shower in it

I had a very pleasant stay at Samesun Banff Backpackers Hostel, and it truly exceeded my expectations. One of the best parts of my stay was the opportunity to meet so many fellow travellers from around the world—it created such a friendly and lively atmosphere. The rooms were very nice, comfortable, and impressively clean. I especially loved the cozy fireplace and the stunning mountain views, which made the hostel feel extra special after a long day of exploring Banff. One of the most iconic highlights of the hostel has to be the Beaver Bar. The vibe was amazing, with great music and fantastic drinks available all night. It was incredible to see people partying, socializing, and genuinely having the time of their lives. A special mention to the hosts—they were extremely kind, welcoming, and very accommodating with all kinds of requests, which made the stay even more comfortable and stress-free. Overall, Samesun Banff is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, great views, and an unforgettable social experience. I’d happily stay here again!

Good and reasonable place to stay close to Banff ave and IGA supermarket. Also closeby near Squirell St close to Catholic Church. Its clean. Also room is clean and smell good. My only issue theres not enough space to hang out. They have common area but it easily filled up with young and bosterous people that likes to drink. Kitchen is nice and well equpped but with few sitting area it get filled quickly. Overall its a good place to stay esp if you are in a budget.

This was a great little hostel, very cozy. I don't typically stay in hostels but hotels in the area were way to expensive so I gave this a go. No regrets. I stayed in the all female room and we had our own on-suite bathroom and shower which was great (though it could use a bit more frequent cleaning, it wasn't bad though). Just a thing to note, if you value privacy, the curtains on the bunks don't cover everything, theres one end of the bed that they don't cover. Not a big deal if everyone else around you has their curtains closed, but yeah just a thing to note for people. Didn't find people too talkative, so if you wanted a social hostel, this might not be it, but for my purposes I was happy with it and would stay again.

Great location. The property itself is pretty tired, the shower had orange mold around the bottom edge and floor. There was no lid on the bathroom bin (it had broken and not been replaced) which was unpleasant with 6 females in the room! The kitchen is too small to even make a hot drink in if a few other people are using the space too.

Didn't sleep at all but the property, location, staff, amenities all fine.

ダウンタウンには歩いてすぐに行けます。 他のゲストは皆親切で、マナーが良かったです。 ほとんどは問題ありませんでしたが、滞在中一つだけ残念なことがありました。 2泊しましたが、初日に宿へ帰ると私の荷物がありませんでした。 フロントに尋ねたら荷物は全てベッドから回収されていました。 その後は別の部屋に案内されましたが、すぐにルームキーをもらうことが出来ず、何時間か待つことになりました。 私はどうすれば良かったのでしょうか？

I'm really sad to be leaving....it was truly a magical stay here for me....the staff is kind and caring and the facility itself is really great....I already miss being there...

Staff are nice and location is great to go around.

Nothing too bad. The room is quite big. However the bunk bed is not steady enough. You can feel bed shaking and the sound when people moving on the top bed. Bathroom is clean and the toilet paper supplies enough.

Very helpful staff

I loved the vibe of the place . Place was kept clean . Only complaint would be the AC , felt it was on a high temperature setting and dint cool the room much . It felt stuffy and hot. We kept the windows open all the time.

Charming and accessible, cool vibe and staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you!

I loved everything about this place! If you’re on a family trip, this is not the place for you. But as a solo traveler, I couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations! I felt so safe and comfortable with the other fellow travelers around me. I’d go to bed early and woke up early with all the beds around me filled and never heard a sound. Everyone was very respectful of others space and property. I will without a doubt stay here again on future trips to Banff!

Had a great stay. All the ladies in my room were nice. Staff were awesome. Our bartender was super fun and I met friends to explore Banff with.

Great location close to shops and bus stops. Easy check in and reasonable price. Breakfast included also. The only downside was that the dorm shower drain was blocked and was not attended to despite letting staff know

Limited parking, no staff work at front desk at night.

Samesun is reliable for having nice hostels. Nice shared areas and good folks. The only issue I ran into was that my truck didn't fit in their parking spots but I was able to find free overnight street parking not far away. Really great location.

Very friendly staff! End up making great friends.

Cumple con su objetivo, es económico y brinda muchas facilidades,lo malo es la gente que no respeta la hora de dormir, en lo personal en el cuarto que me tocó las personas que llegaron noche a alojarse hicieron mucho ruido sin tomar en cuenta que ya varios estaban dormidos, entrando y saliendo varias veces. Pero bueno no se puede pedir mucho.
