    Microfiber bedsheets. Hope it was cotton-but it’s only a personal preference. :)

    Excellent location. Great staff! Rooms are good as well. Hostel has nearly everything needed for longer or shorter stays. Feels like home!

    Big hostel located in a great spot downtown! The staff were super helpful and the place had excellent amenities. Still a hostel, so you have to be open to crowds in the facility and loud people until the silent hours (11pm-7 am)

    I was in a mixed dorm and some guys have no respect for others, phone ringing at 6 am, noisy when it is supposed to be quiet between 11 pm and 7 am. Most people are on their cellphones in the common area and do not even look at the mountain views.

    I have stayed there several times but I prefer an all women dorm as it is quieter. You can park for free and the local buses are free too. It is close to Main Street. The staff is awesome.

    Somehow, meeting people is not really easy in this hostel, it seems to be more like groups of friends/families.

    This hostel is about a 15-minute walk from downtown and is easy to get to. All the staff is very friendly and Camille offered me great hiking tips. I've also never seen such a clean hostel before!

    I worried about waking others as I left at the butt crack of dawn to get on the road. I hope I didn’t.

    It was my first hostel ever. I’m not sure if I’d do another one but it was interesting. I loved the exclusive parking garage. My truck was loaded with camping equipment and the guest only availability was absolutely perfect as I didn’t have to watch it nor worry about theft. Super bonus, I felt like Batman entering and leaving the bat cave!

    Washer and dryer cost at minimum $3 each cycle. Pillow could have been better/fluffier. More hooks would be appreciated.

    Great location. Small lockers available for shoes at entrance (must bring your own lock.) Bins are available to place groceries on shelves in kitchen. Small lockers available in kitchen (must bring your own lock.) Kitchen has large refrigerator area for your groceries. Large storage cabinet next to bed (must bring your own lock.) Underground parking felt safe and very secure.

    Well, a snorer in a dorm is never desirable, but that happens in dorms.

    A well organized hostel, with lots of signage in areas like the kitchen. I love that each bed has a curtain for privacy, plus a light and a plug to charge your phone. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location with nearby cafes, restaurants, convenience store, and walking distance to Canmore's downtown.
