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.

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 The rooms were a little outdated.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.

Amazing hostel
The farm to table fresh food in the café was fantastic. They really went all out and worked so hard those two guys and then in the morning the same guy was serving breakfast so kudos to them for working so hard. I gave a $25 tip at the end of the night. I made sure to put $100 in the Jasper inn help box. There is live music Saturday nights at the café, which was exquisite and then karaoke at 10 PM in the bar downstairs games to play lots of people to chat with just a really cool comfortable pretty amazing hostile in my humble opinion .. beds were very big and very comfy. Room was hot but little to my chagrin in the morning, I noticed two different fans and one small heater on the side for us to use. I had four girls staying in my room and two more up a flight of long ladder stairs to go up high all the girls in the room were quiet and respectable everybody trying to get rest and all in all in my humble opinion the whole experience was very great. I recommend and give Two thumbs 👍 up 👍

The staff at this property were amazingly friendly and very welcoming.I liked the layout of the property.And how you got a bus pass to go into town which made traveling a lot easier around Banff. There were a few downsides, one being that the beds are really creaky.And so if you're gonna stay here , I'd recommend having headphones or earplugs, the wifi was not working properly and everyone seemed to be experiencing the same issue. With a lot of troubleshooting it would work. The showers are a bit small and one appears to need the tile redone in the shower room as some of it is lifting where it previously was repaired. The towels are no good either, so bring your own. Overall, most of these are just a heads up.I would absolutely stay at this property again because it was fairly clean, the ensuite could use a good floor clean but the showers were always clean and I never had an issue getting one.It was pretty quiet and the view was amazing and the bus pass was a huge plus and staff were so nice. Also the cafe makes some great food.
