  The rooms are small with only the bare essentials, although a nice enough place to stay if you're on a tight budget. The staff is VERY helpful. They took the time to show us the best hikes around town, how to get transportation, and helped us book our Hop On Bus ticket (an absolute must if you don't have a car). They even let us borrow their bear spray for free! Overall a nice economical stay.

  Front desk staff are amazing! Stayed in the 8 man dorm. Typical bunk set up as expected. However, the mattresses were atrocious! Worst sleeps I've ever had. Cost expected for Banff, but would expect even decent mattresses.

  Internet barely works, can only use early in the morning when no one else is awake.

  Stayed in a private room with shared bathroom in mid December. The room was massive which was good with all our luggage, not very soundproof to noise outside or in the hallway (although there weren't many people walking around). Never had to wait to use one of the bathrooms even though there weren't many. Shared kitchen was handy and not too crowded when we were there. Plenty of room for food storage. Free parking on site. Location is perfect, 5 mins walk to downtown and a bus stop right outside if you want to go anywhere further.

  Really enjoyed staying at this hostel. Met a lot of cool people, the rooms were fine for a hostel. The only thing was the bunk beds were very squeaky. All the staff were very helpful and nice. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the night time staff member named Charli asking me if I wanted to fight him because he said I was 'eye balling him in an aggressive manor' and threatening to kick me out when I tried to talk him about the situation and why he thought I was 'eye balling him aggressively' A bit of a joke to be honest. Apart from that everything else was good.

  A staff member comes into the dorms around 2am waving a flashlight around to check if anyone brought guests. Never before has a hotel/hostel I’ve stayed in felt the need to do this.

  Poor customer service, unwilling to assist basic requests.
