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.

Thank you! ##### Patrick Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### chandni Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Amenities Great location close to shops and bus stops. Easy check in and reasonable price. 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 #### Patricia Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Samesun is reliable for having nice hostels. 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 Jul 17, 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 Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place to stay, friendly staff.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 27, 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 #### Chad Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was great for what is expected. Good location. Good food/drink special. Breakfast was underwhelming. ##### Chad Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Basic hostel in Banff Your basic busy hostel. Single beds, nothing special about it. Probably your cheapest option in Banff by far. Breakfast is included which was nice ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jana May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love the breakfast in the morning, easy to socialize at the bar downstairs and get some affordable food and drinks. Service was excellent and very close to everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the bunk beds are creaky so it’s hard to be quiet when you get into bed in the evening and the noise might be an issue for some. ##### Jana Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This was a great little hostel, very cozy. I don't typically stay in hostels but hotels in the area were way to expensive so I gave this a go. No regrets. I stayed in the all female room and we had our own on-suite bathroom and shower which was great (though it could use a bit more frequent cleaning, it wasn't bad though). Just a thing to note, if you value privacy, the curtains on the bunks don't cover everything, theres one end of the bed that they don't cover. Not a big deal if everyone else around you has their curtains closed, but yeah just a thing to note for people. Didn't find people too talkative, so if you wanted a social hostel, this might not be it, but for my purposes I was happy with it and would stay again. ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were lovely here - very helpful, friendly, responsive. I was surprised to find it a quiet and pleasant place to stay, despite sleeping in a room with 5 other people. More reasonable price than other lodgings in Banff-you can't get a hotel room for under $500! I returned here after travelling for 4 days because I had a good first visit. ##### Leslie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Oct 7, 2023 Banff central location! Parking in Banff a bit challenging Breakfast (hot) a nice start before hiking Good daily eats for purchase each day. Super Staff ##### Jane Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessi Dec 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quite like a dorm. Good choice for skiing. ##### Jessi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Overall: Reception and staff were always helpful. Its a quaint stay, since you're mainly paying for a place to sleep, shower, and rest. First Hostel experience, and I can confidently say I could do again. For budget travelers, adventurers, and newly singled it works. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jasmine Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness While my stay was good, my only concern is that when parked underneath in there garage some of the roofing fell on to my car and while investigating the situation one of the workers just walked passed me and made no acknowledgment or ask if everything is ok. Theres only 7 stalls when then say limited parking, the girls at the front desk were super welcoming and the accommodations were clean and great. ##### Jasmine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bridgett Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice receptionist. Clean common area. I was charged a deposit when I booked. Ended up paying full price even after Orbitz explained I paid deposit two months ago. Staff was really nice and I don't blame them about the mix up. Breakfast is toast, boiled egg, pancakes, pineapple rings and cucumber slices. It was nice to start my day with a little something in my tummy. ##### Bridgett Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### filomena Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good and reasonable place to stay close to Banff ave and IGA supermarket. Also closeby near Squirell St close to Catholic Church. Its clean. Also room is clean and smell good. My only issue theres not enough space to hang out. They have common area but it easily filled up with young and bosterous people that likes to drink. Kitchen is nice and well equpped but with few sitting area it get filled quickly. Overall its a good place to stay esp if you are in a budget. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cca5d0bf-d872-4b1f-a181-8d504e79e6d8-1761942190473.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/570512fa-36ea-46e9-a026-362637e4ec8b-1761942192205.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### filomena Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Omkar Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff!
