Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. I'm sorry to hear you were unable to locate our microwaves and fridges. We have multiple microwaves and fridges available in both our fully equipped guest kitchens. Please feel free to swing by the desk if you have any questions, our desk agents will be happy to point you in the right direction. Our location is a 15-20 minutes walk from the downtown area, or you can use our free 3-day bus pass to get you there in 5-10 minutes.We are so happy to hear you appreciated the cleanliness at our hostel, and hope to welcome you back in future.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our cozy cabin feel. We have reviewed the idea of adding curtains to our dorm rooms, however it is not something we plan to change at this point in time but may be reviewed in future. The comfort of a mattress is always difficult to get right for everyone, however we do offer extra pillows or blankets (dependent on availability) which can be requested at our Front Desk to help make your stay more comfortable.Sincerely, Mangement

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 The rooms were a little outdated.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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. We are so glad to hear you made use of the amenities we have onsite. We regret to hear you faced some issues during your stay. If you ever have any problems, please approach the desk at the time, as our desk agents can co-ordinate with our Maintenance team to look into and improve your stay, we could have also lent you one at the desk to use. Food is always hard to get right for everyone, i am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your poutine, we have not had any comments regarding this before, but thank you for bringing this to our attention. Sincerely, Management

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. We regret to hear you found our location amidst the mountains far from town. There is a free 3-day bus pass we provide at the hostel, or if people prefer to walk it is a nice scenic 15/20min walk to Banff Avenue. We hope to welcome you back in future so you can enjoy the free bus pass while exploring Banff. We do enforce quiet hours at hour Hostel, please always approach our Front Desk if you feel this is not being adhered to, we are happy to take care of this to ensure a good night's rest. Sincerely, Management
