There’s no ac and the room was hot. You couldn’t open all two windows- one for safety reasons and the other was the road noise. Able to open the small window in the bathroom but wasn’t able to cool off the room. I had issues sleeping due to heat - kept waking up. Lots to do around the hostel from shopping dining and entertainment. Buses are within walking distance. Comfortable bed and privacy curtains.

Friendly staff but did not enjoy the room much as it is warm, doesn't have air condition, not well clean, unsafe wirings and very loud fan. Breakfast is available but we did not expect that it is a make your own breakfast. The hostel needs to level up considering their high cost, it is not worth the money at all. Wouldn't recommend, sorry.

My first check in with the aussie dude desk attendant and girl was awesome. His relief was impolite and when I asked to be switched from a dirty mixed room to a clean women’s there was an issue at first. Not really accommodating, and I’ve lived in some hostel dives in Australia. Wouldn’t stay again but the ppl I met were awesome and some of the workers are solid. Cheers!

Poor cleanliness. The towels are smelly, seems just washed them without detergents.

Very very hot that I couldn’t sleep many nights in a row !! Not very clean! Bed sheets were dirty! But also other people didn’t much care about cleanness as they would through their hair in sink causing blockage. The staff and manager were good and attentive! But overall I had an uncomfortable stay.

The worse hostel I have ever had. The staff who handled my check-in was extremely unpleasant and totally unhelpful. No lock was provided for locker. She suggested me to buy at the gas station. I failed to get one and returned to talk to her. She found me a lock without any difficulties at all but charged me $5. The locker is very narrow and barely good for one carry-on suitcase. The hostel has storage for larger items but very dirty as for garbage storage.
Top of the fridge inside the dorm was very dirty and dusty. The water tank of the toilet has water leaking issue. I had to open the lid to fix that in order to prevent wasting of water. Told staff re same. Breakfast is totally self help, made my own pancakes.

My first hostel stay and it won’t be the last! I lucked out with a clean room, great roommates and the location was perfect and walkable to shopping and restaurants. Liquor store onsite, decent variety of breakfast although I found the kitchen a little chaotic and confusion. Some signage would help! I’d definitely recommend this as an affordable place to stay while visiting Banff (hotels are outrageously priced, this was a fraction of the cost!)

4 bedroom Hostel with an included shower and bathroom in the room, a hard find. All amenities were clean, they provide basic breakfast downstairs in the morning and were helpful talking about activities in the area

No sound isolation, when people upstairs got up at 6am it was so loud we could not get back to sleep.

This place should be leveled to the ground. It is an old motel turned into a sorry hostel. The infrastructure is more haphazard post apocalyptic than a proper hostel.
It has a liquor store on the premises and it seems that the LOCAL drunks start there and finish up crashing in the hostel.
Overall this place gives an impression of subsidized rehab government housing than a place for tourists.
