2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

amazing place

my first impression was "oohh" its wasnt a normal hostel, looked like a national park lodge with wood structure and a shelter or terrace to have breakfast or enjoy the sunset. Once inside was terrific the lobby was on the first floor with internet acces, a pool, and wifi area and for sure a fireplace.
on the main floor reception area and the restaurant with lots of information leaflets and maps.. the restaurant is the breakfast area in the morning but its not for free.. the usual cost is around 10-12 bucks so suggestable in a hiking day before get out. there's also a free kitchen on the underground floor with all sort of tools, fridges and cupboards and spirits machine not expensive. Rooms are so nice, extremmely nice. Usually 2 bunk beds and a double room on the upper part into the same room, accesible by a lader.. so so nice as u can figure out..

Nice hostel near Banff town center

This is one of the nicest hostels I've been in. It is located near the center of Lake Louise town, and about a 20 min walk from the lake. The rooms are quiet and clean. Bathroom and showers are also clean. There is a pretty nice common room with internet access (along with free wireless), games and resources about the region (including some detailed hiking maps of the area). There is also a common room with a TV. Not much to complain about.
