Like the area and I didn't like the bed, matress was like a rock and not divisions like a curtain that should be mandatory in a mixed bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped and clean, lobby is welcoming and warm with a nice view.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was great, the checkin was fast and reliable. They had many great amenities such as laundry, a cafe, and a bar within the Hostel. The rooms were a little outdated. My problem was the wifi that was horrible, I couldn’t even upload one video. The bathroom that smelled like pee and so did the shower. The shower had hair all over the floor, the hair dryer in women’s bathroom wasn’t working, and while the Chicken sandwich in the cafe was good, the poutine was the worst I had in my life. The gravy tasted weird, the fries were so dark and tasted weird. I can only say good things about the staff that even gave us bus passes. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel. And the Hotel is located about 5/ 6 minutes from downtown Banff. Great location and staff. Bathroom should be worked on and some food items.

Stayed for two nights. First night was so loud due to someone above stomping at 4am. Talked to the front desk to see if they could help. They were great. The second night slept like a baby. Nice staff. Yummy treats. Good water fountain for large camelbacks.

Our private room was nice , washrooms down the hall. Bathroom doors were a little worn maybe some upgrades? Kitchen was a little tight for space, but dining area was adequate. Nice to have food options available. Sitting outside was lovely, not much open seats for guests in lobby area.

No place is perfect.....
CAD$100 for a bunkbed is expensive; on the other hand, compared to other accommodation in Banff, it is a good deal because Banff on a busy long weekend is an expensive place. The facilities are very good but I kept hitting my head on the upper bunk when I crawled in and out of the lower bunk but I soon got "trained" LOL!
