SpainThe parking is conveniently located right in front of the hostel, making it easy to access. They offer free bus tickets if you want to head down to the village, though we didn’t use them, it’s a nice offer to have. The place is very peaceful if you're looking to feel surrounded by nature, yet still cozy, as there are other guests around. We used the kitchen to cook, which was very practical, and my boyfriend had breakfast at the restaurant. Everything was great—both the bathrooms and showers were clean, and our room was perfect for us. We had a private room, and while the bed wasn’t very big, it was comfortable enough for one night. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Best hostel in Banff; from the location being just a 5-10 min walk from the main shops/bars/restaurants to the staff who make you feel right at home - would highly recommend! Love the themed nights at the Beaver Bar, there's also a big common room area to meet people in a more chilled setting. Bedrooms are really cosy, most of them have a fireplace, super comfy beds, ensuite bathroom... and the breakfast is pretty diverse from eggs, fruit and English muffins to pancakes, and homemade muffins everyday - what more could you ask for!

Staff are great
Rather expensive for a single bunk bed in a hostel when hostels are supposed to be the cheaper option and being a taller person in a bunk bed isn’t the greatest but other then it was good

This was my first hostel experience and definitely exceeded my expectations. Great staff, very clean and loved meeting new people and knowing their stories, doing a hike or two together.

The locations was great, very good value for money. I was just using the hostel as a base while visiting a friend in Banff. The staff and other residents were all really nice and I appreciated the company and chats.
Wifi worked well, bed was fine and room was clean. I didn't use the showers as went to friends place for a shower.
A very safe place to be and didn't worry about my belonging going missing.
Stored my skis and boots all stay with no problems.

My daughter and her friend have been staying since November.
It was initially recommended to me, as a a great place to stay if you're new to Banff, as the atmosphere is both welcoming and friendly.
Its not the cheapest hostel but the staff are great, the location is excellent and they both feel comfortable and safe.
