I enjoyed my stay because of the peaceful wilderness surrounding this hostel. The manager was very helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating and kept a very tidy accommodation. ##### Evelyn Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### David, London, Ontario 5 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Economic Place close to Banff Wow, didn't expect to feel so at home, but so enjoyed the people at this hostel. Even though it was simple, all I needed for was there - a clean, quiet bedroom and washroom, respectful and friendly people as well as a knowledgeable and helpful staff. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in May 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### MARGARET, Calgary 29 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Mountain Getaway This is an old hostel with dorm type accommodation and they make it as comfortable and clean as it can be for such a dated building. I visited in the winter on a weeknight and I found the bed (which you make yourself with supplied linen) to be comfortable and slept well. The common kitchen is well equipped and the living area has a wood burning stove in the centre of a panoramic windowed room surrounded by magnificent scenery. I found the host, Tony, to be friendly and competant. ##### MARGARET ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sunshine Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Hotels-Sunshine-Mountain-Lodge.h894279.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pyramid-Lake-Resort.h487039.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glacier House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-Glacier-House-Resort.h2832756.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Meadows Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Alpine-Meadows-Resort.h12489764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crimson Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-The-Crimson-Jasper.h28261.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamloops-Hotels-Sun-Peaks-Grand-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h888272.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Rocky Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Rocky-Mountain-Resort.h2746.Hotel-Information) > > [Marmot Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Marmot-Lodge.h28260.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Chateau-Jasper.h10253.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Tonquin Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Tonquin-Inn.h6709279.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Robson Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Mount-Robson-Inn.h917520.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Moberly Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Moberly-Lodge.h11765247.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Whistlers-Inn.h920356.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information) ---
