Reserve only if you can sleep in a very LOUD environment at 3 am ( like in the middle of a night club)! The noise issue you see in the reviws is real. Spebd nore money and reserve a place that at least you can sleep.

The hostel is smelly in the room and looks like no one clean and the kitchen is super dirty . Noisy downstairs . I stay only for 1 night and move to my friend air bnb . It wasting money and not recommended . The reception is excellent communication .

Clean enough, felt safe and the noise from downstairs didn't get in the way of sleeping. I found the top bunk hard to climb up to and also did not like the lack of parking.

The room looked clean till the sunshine hit under the bed. The dust underneath is thick like it was never cleaned. There's also a couple of used napkins under the bed.

Very convenient, good stuff

It could’ve been cleaner in the showers and the kitchen…

Of the hostels I've stayed at, very middle of the road. Not terrible, not great. Gets the job done and is in a good location. Missing some easy fixes like having a window shade on the window right next to the bed I was on for a few nights. Holes in the drywall patched unevenly and not painted, could use more silverware options, & pots/pans were pretty raggedy and should likely be switched out for food safety reasons. The staff does come around quite often to change sheets & wash towels, but also kind of got attitude from one of them for asking pretty simple questions. While it does get loud sometimes because of the bar right underneath it, they are very upfront about that in the description so it's not something you can knock them for.

My first time ever hostel stay experience, and I am happy :)

It had a kitchenette too.

A bit rundown but location very convenient

Great price and friendly operators

It would be useful to have garbage cans and tissues in the room.

Was a great inexpensive place to stay for a night

a good stay

super convenient，love the vibe

The kitchen was messy. People didn’t pick up their stuff and left their dishes on the counter. The showers were missing a dry place to change because you’re directly in the shower behind the door.

Amazing place to stay for less budget

You can't ask for a better location than The Canmore Hotel Hostel (or Canmore Party Hostel depending on which site you're booking it through). It's a decent hostel, seems to have a lot of permanent residents though, but that came in handy when the room code didn't work as one of them was able to summon a staff member by text who arrived less than a minute later informed me my room had been changed and there were new codes. So after you book this place you are sent a front door code and room and bed (with door code). There are no staff in the hostel. I guess they turn up to clean it after checkout time. Bathroom was pretty messy as was the kitchen. There's plenty of options to eat close by (expensive) and cheaper ones once you walk a few blocks away. Lots of supermarkets to choose from, I got a roast chicken in one. The street out of town where Flix Bus drops you off is lined with American/Canadian fast food franchises (Flix drops you off at Tim Hortons/Wendys) which is about a twenty minute walk away from the hostel. Easy walk though, no hills. I thought the bar downstairs would be annoying noise wise but it was actually quite pleasant to hear the karaoke, I sat in the entrance room at the bottom of the stairs on the computer and enjoyed it. The only noise that is an issue is the door code pad, every time someone enters the correct number it does a celebratory tune, which is very annoying in the early morning with people getting up to use the bathroom or whatever.

This hostel was in downtown (perfect for visiting) but the hostel was not really clean (kitchen and bathroom) and impossible to stay during the day inside it’s to warm and the night it’s just a little better.

They showed us our beds and clearly someone had just slept in them. They wouldn't change the sheets. This place is inhospitable at best. It's extremely hot, hotter than outside. There's a window fan but it doesn't work! The bathrooms look like they've never been cleaned, ohhhhh and the smell. It smells like foot soup.

Not good

The facilities are well maintained. Great option for those staying just for few nights.

Had a great stay!

It's a hostel and good enough. Downtown, limited parking.

Good and not so expensive. In the heart of downtown and bus and country side

Could not ever recommend this property to any person. Many of the other issues of uncleanliness, unresponsive staff, poor amenities etc. could be shouldered if you're broke and just need a place to crash, but the rooms were over 80 degrees at night with no ventilation or fan. Everyone was suffering and it was impossible to sleep. Just don't do this to yourself - even sleeping in your car in the parking lot is better than this place.

After comparing the price of all accommodations in this neighborhood and you would like to save your budget, here is not too bad for short stay. Everything is average, except the convenience is satisfied.

The private rooms are spacious. It doesn’t feel like you’re staying in a hostel except you share a bathroom.

The hostel was clean and exactly what you’d expect from a hostel. Had to pay for parking during the day in the city’s public lot, but overnight was free!

Great location, place was decently clean

The hostel was hard to find without an obvious sign and there were about 4 parking spots so we had to park in the paid area across the street (free 8p-8a). We weren’t bothered by bar noise but there was a lot of street noise early in the morning and the curtain in the room didn’t keep out the sun. Showers and bathroom were fine and clean enough. Kitchen seemed pretty dirty, only used the microwave.

Great location. Kitchen and shower facilities can be improved. Staff were very helpful.
