Very lovely owner who was helpful, lots of older people staying here, quite loud at night time, but right in the centre, close to the bus stop to banff, lots of nice walks near, recommend for a cheap cheerily stay. Make sure to ask for the wifi, it’s not given in an email! :)

Such a dirty facility. Noisy, a concern below; being told after the booking and could not cancel. It doesn’t say that it is mixed dorm. No independent light in the room for each bed, so have to go with other's time bed. Worst experience in a hostel so far and I have done others. Definitely, a big no for me.

Not recommended
When we arrived we had to leave our shoes on a shelf at the top of the stairs. We knew it was not going to be the Hilton but it was far cry from the hostels I have stayed at before. Granted it is a historical building but this was a little over the top. Not going there ever again. We had to leave the TV on to drown out the drummer in the bar below. Music went on until 4 am. Not recommended if you are not going to party in the bar below all night long.

Location. It is located eating area, many different types of restaurants. There is one parking lot near it, and it is free between 8pm-8am. The smart lock on the room door was broken, but a key was provided. It is worthy the price paid.

Management was quite rude towards myself and my partner and there were messes in the bathroom that remained in cleaned the entirety of our stay. There was no flexibility with check in and we were faced with rude responses when asking if we could check in even 10 minutes early. However the bedroom was clean and we had nice clean towels.

Hello Siobhan, thank you for your review and feedback on your stay at our property. We are sorry to hear you didn’t have a pleasurable stay during your visit with us, we understand your anger and disappointment about not being able to check in early but we this was in the middle of summer during are most busy time and we only have a total of two staff members which does include the manager. At this time of year the manager and other staff member are running around trying to prepare the hostel for the days arrivals and even if your beds and or room was ready we don’t let people check in early as we need to sweep and mop the floors in all common areas and hallways to make it presentable for that days check ins to make it sparkly clean for those first impressions. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding in regards to your dissatisfaction when arriving early but now that we have expressed we are certain you will understand. See you again in the future, during your visit and stay with at our property.

This establishment is downright disgraceful. Located under a bar, it serves as a place for parties after closing hours. The place is trying to give itself a friendly air for backpackers and small budgets, but it failed. It's dirty, noisy and unsafe. Do not try to obtain service in the event of a problem, it is impossible. Absolutely avoid. I was supposed to stay five nights. I left after three nights. No one responded to my multiple complaints. Expedia: You should not recommend this place to your customers. It's a shame.

Hello Patrice, thank you for your review and feedback on your stay at our property. We are sorry you didn’t find your stay with satisfactory and or enjoyable during your visit, we are a very unique property and have a select clientele and try our very outmost effort to make guest aware of our property and what to expect and apologize if you didn’t find our property description or if you did we’re sorry it wasn’t clear for you at the time. It pretty much says it in our name what to expect, a party as we are called the Canmore hotel PARTY HOSTEL so the name and the property description should be enough we thought for guest to know what they’re reserving. We also do have a later then normal quiet time, during the summer season our quiet time starts at 330am and in the of months October 1st to may 1st we have quiet time during the weekday Mondays to Thursdays at midnight and Fridays to Sundays is 330am this is to allow guest coming back from the bars to wind down a bit after getting back which is highlighted in the property description once again. We do suggest texting if and issue arises during your visit and stay at our property next time for a guaranteed response.

Hello Mary Elaine, thank you for your review and feedback on your stay at our property. We are sorry to hear about the disturbance but do keep in mind this is to be expected during the summer season and is not against our houses rules as our noise restrictions in the summer months go until 330am and we do understand how this can be a disturbance but we encourage our guest to bring ear plugs with them during their stay and visit our property as things can get noisy. You can find all this info on our property outlined description, we hope to see you again during your next visit to the mountains.
