Gael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is a lovely spot in the trees with wild life near by. I thought that the Big3 shuttles picked up directly at the hostel. I was wrong you needed to take a 6 min bus to a bus Banff av. where you hop on the free shuttle to one of the 3 ski ressorts.

shamaila, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our private room was nice , washrooms down the hall. Bathroom doors were a little worn maybe some upgrades? Kitchen was a little tight for space, but dining area was adequate. Nice to have food options available. Sitting outside was lovely, not much open seats for guests in lobby area.
Brenda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

In my opinion, the heat was a little bit higher than what i expected :D
Quoc Phong, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms didn't have air conditioning and only some rooms had fans. (ours did not) The hostel is a hike to anything about 2km each way. I thought I read somewhere about complimentary pancakes.. no such thing Very noisy. people knocking, slamming doors up and down the hallway beds were uncomfortable
