One of the best parts of my stay was the opportunity to meet so many fellow travellers from around the world—it created such a friendly and lively atmosphere. The rooms were very nice, comfortable, and impressively clean. I especially loved the cozy fireplace and the stunning mountain views, which made the hostel feel extra special after a long day of exploring Banff. One of the most iconic highlights of the hostel has to be the Beaver Bar. The vibe was amazing, with great music and fantastic drinks available all night. It was incredible to see people partying, socializing, and genuinely having the time of their lives. A special mention to the hosts—they were extremely kind, welcoming, and very accommodating with all kinds of requests, which made the stay even more comfortable and stress-free. Overall, Samesun Banff is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, great views, and an unforgettable social experience. I’d happily stay here again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9dd6ae62-352a-4f7a-9330-45f66a417b95-1767151067572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Supam Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a great stay.

Breakfast included also. The only downside was that the dorm shower drain was blocked and was not attended to despite letting staff know ##### chandni Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 16 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Always a great experience staying at Samesun.

Nice shared areas and good folks. The only issue I ran into was that my truck didn't fit in their parking spots but I was able to find free overnight street parking not far away. Really great location. ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Veneela 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the vibe of the place . Place was kept clean . Only complaint would be the AC , felt it was on a high temperature setting and dint cool the room much . It felt stuffy and hot. We kept the windows open all the time. ##### Veneela Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 30 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place to stay, friendly staff.

The property itself is pretty tired, the shower had orange mold around the bottom edge and floor. There was no lid on the bathroom bin (it had broken and not been replaced) which was unpleasant with 6 females in the room! The kitchen is too small to even make a hot drink in if a few other people are using the space too. ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I loved everything about this place! If you’re on a family trip, this is not the place for you. But as a solo traveler, I couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations! I felt so safe and comfortable with the other fellow travelers around me. I’d go to bed early and woke up early with all the beds around me filled and never heard a sound. Everyone was very respectful of others space and property. I will without a doubt stay here again on future trips to Banff! ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catia 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Affordable Amazing experience ##### Catia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nothing too bad. The room is quite big. However the bunk bed is not steady enough. You can feel bed shaking and the sound when people moving on the top bed. Bathroom is clean and the toilet paper supplies enough. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice rooms and amenities and breakfast and great location. Rooms could benefit from having a small quieter work area with access to electrical plugs and a table. ##### Jeremy Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Malcolm Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-The-Malcolm-Hotel-By-CLIQUE.h19460361.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Calgary Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-By-Wyndham-Calgary-Downtown.h12301.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-Sheraton-Suites-Calgary-Eau-Claire.h152034.Hotel-Information) > > [Brewster Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Brewsters-Mountain-Lodge.h868296.Hotel-Information) > > [Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Douglas-Fir-Resort-And-Chalets.h904421.Hotel-Information) > > [Elk + Avenue Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-The-Elk-Avenue-Hotel.h189909.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Calgary North](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h524454.Hotel-Information) > > [Moose Hotel And Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Moose-Hotel-And-Suites.h14703440.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cala Martina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Eulalia-Del-Rio-Hotels-AzuLine-Club-Cala-Martina-Ibiza.h2524854.Hotel-Information) > > [Lamphouse By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Lamphouse-Hotel.h5617760.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Ptarmigan Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Ptarmigan-Inn.h41022.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Palliser](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-The-Fairmont-Palliser.h10652.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Calgary-Downtown-Hotel.h19870.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-The-Rimrock-Resort-Hotel.h15672.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Park-Lodge.h460527.Hotel-Information) > > [Buffalo Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Buffalo-Mountain-Lodge.h35659.Hotel-Information) > > [Hammock Cove Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willikies-Hotels-Hammock-Cove-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h35557333.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westley Hotel - Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-The-Westley-Calgary-Downtown.h66541227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Yaramar - Adults Recommended](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Hotels-Hotel-Yaramar-Adults-Recommended.h3380491.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Calgary](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calgary-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Calgary.h448308.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Edmonton Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edmonton-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Edmonton-Downtown-Hotel.h16761.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel.h688930.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Ridge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Hidden-Ridge-Resort.h3845.Hotel-Information) > > [Peaks Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Peaks-Hotel-And-Suites.h3150654.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs.h13652.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Chichester Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Travelodge-Chichester-Central.h4802049.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Packages ---
