He's always around, and so approachable, if you have any questions you won't feel afraid to ask them. He also makes an amazing soup every night, which is great and really unique amongst the hostels we have stayed in on our journeys. The other staff working there were also really friendly. Excellent location, parking was good, room was comfortable, and other guests were all very welcoming too. It has the feel of a really nice little community. Great hostel to stay in. ##### Sam ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near University of Saskatchewan](https://www.expedia.ca/University-Of-Saskatchewan-Hotels.0-l6072371-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Castle Bamboo Waikīkī Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Bamboo-Waikiki-Hotel.h1479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Falher](https://www.expedia.ca/Falher-Hotels.d3000470696.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tahiti](https://www.expedia.ca/Tahiti-Hotels.d180103.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Carp](https://www.expedia.ca/Carp-Hotels.d6340808.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Ocean-Riviera-Paradise-All-Inclusive.h15099903.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Italy](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Italy-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d86-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Lima](https://www.expedia.ca/Jorge-Chavez-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aLIM-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kenmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenmore-Hotels.d180355.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lake Simcoe](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Simcoe-Hotels.0-l553248635810196047-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Grand-Riviera-Princess-All-Inclusive.h2661557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Baixa](https://www.expedia.ca/Baixa-Lisbon-District-Hotels.0-n179463-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Alpine Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Alma-Hotels-Alpine-Motor-Inn.h9997116.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Grand Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Grand-London-Hyde-Park.h916020.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Banff (YBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yba/edmonton-to-banff) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YAZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yaz/yvr/tofino-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Grace-Hollogne (LGG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lgg/toronto-to-liege) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) ### Cars ### Packages > [Europe Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Europe.d6022967.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Museum of Pop Culture](https://www.expedia.ca/Museum-Of-Pop-Culture-Downtown-Seattle.d6083875.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [South Porcupine Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Porcupine-Vacation-Rentals.d3000471397.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
