Not so clean. Way too close to the train tracks.

Stayed in June 2025

Run down property with no atmosphere. I wouldn’t classify this as a hostel. Facilities were old and kitchen was dirty.

Stayed in July 2023

Did not know families were living there which made the communal areas not very clean I didn’t know what we could use and what we couldn’t

Friendly staff Clean beds Budget

I have stayed in lots of hostel, this is the oddest set up I have come across. The manager drive from elsewhere to check you in (although he was very prompt), and leaves 1 minute after. There is also no staff on duty. You really can't feel any love. This place has a weird vibe, it almost feels like a place out of the Hitchcock movie. Furniture seems like from old motel / diners. Every single room is directly off the open common area, so can only imagine how nosy this place is when it is busy. Single bench kitchen with 1 stove may be hard to cook when more than a few guest. Only having 2 bathroom & 3 showers really isn't enough for the amount of beds. Towel should be automatically put on guest bed like all other hostel instead of waiting for guest to ask for one, after the manager is long gone.

I was trying to come up with how to describe our experience here....came across a review that pretty much captured it, so here it is for you to read: I really want to rate this place higher, as it ticks a lot of boxes on paper. It provides free phone booth to call anywhere in Canada. It has free pool table & Netflix TV & generous lounge area, the place is clean & tidy. It also has own bar fridge in each dorm. The shower was hot & nice. If it's a bed & clean place you are looking for, this place is 5/5 for value. But if you are looking for the community mingle vibe like most other hostel (HI Lake Louise / Dreamcatcher in Golden etc), you will be disappointed. It has a clinical boarding house feel rather than hostel.

It is a low quality hostel. In general the smell of all the building was awful. Although the bedroom was more or less clean, the kitchen wasn't. Sometimes it was a bit disgusting to be in the common areas and use the shared bathrooms. There were a lot of people living there for long periods.

It was cheap. We had a full room for all the family (5 members). There were common facilities with kitchen, living room and bathrooms.

Stayed in August 2025

There was a strange smell inside the building and the dorms. There were some sketchy people hanging out in front of the building all night, it didn't feel very safe

Location was good, and it was the cheapest option available around. The room, bathrooms, and showers were fairly clean considering the rest.

The hair in the shower rooms and not a single shelf to putt your stuff, just one adhesive hook barely enough for a towel. The curtains were stained yellow and brown, the room was very hot, the tiny mattress was super uncomfortable. The price was jacked up to hotel prices for the long weekend. Neighbors were loud until late. Other guests were outside talking until 6am but needed window open for fresh air flow.

Nothing

As soon as we arrived, a strange and intimidating man who was outside smoking circled our car and was very stand-off ish. We soon realised he was part of a group of similar individuals who were either staying at the hostel or living around it. Any time we had to leave the room he was there and tried to talk to us. I did not sleep for a single second as all I could hear all night was the group of men drinking, smoking, laughing and arguing all night and I was worried for the safety of our car and ourselves. We packed up and left at 6am to try and avoid them but they were still outside the front door. Disgusting place, I would have rather slept in the front seat of the car. We should have found somewhere else but had already paid.

Absolutely nothing.

Some of the guest are to noisy even midnight.

I had a restless night, unable to sleep due to uncomfortable conditions. My bed had an overpowering odor, and to make matters worse, nearby noise from loud conversations carried on throughout the night, disrupting any chance of rest.

The location of the hostel was very good for me.

Stayed in October 2024

Dirty showers, only 2 toilets for 16 rooms, no daylight in the kitchen, lot of noise and smell of other guests. In an other room were 4 adults and 3 kids. Bleh, never go to that place, too expensive.

Beds were ok, the rest was terrible.

Cleanliness.

The room was smelly, smoky. Very basic. Not sound insulated.

centrally located, close to the lake

Stayed in April 2023

We only stayed for a night and rented the whole room for 3 people. I can imagine staying won't be easy with strangers in this hostel as the beds don't have individual light, no desks, no lockers and no curtains for the beds. Not many showers in the hostel. The location was kinda not straightforward.

Rooms and social room very clean and spacious. Rooms had their own fridges which I haven't seen in any other hostel.
