Very clean room, huge bathroom and great facilites/kitchen. Out of hours check in was made very easy too. I would definitely recommend staying here ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keri Jan 4, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I shared a 4 bed dorm with my teenage kids. Spot, well designed and all the little things thought of. Kitchen has everything you could need. Staff are friendly and helpful. ##### Keri Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Owal Sep 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, modern and comfortable stay! Appreciated the TV room, common room with games, a fireplace and lots of seating. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious, my highlight was the sauna which was inside the hostel that was delightful and warmed me after a cold hike. I also loved that my en-suite bathroom had both an extractor fan and heater too which was a nice touch. ##### Owal Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had a good stay. The staff was friendly. The hostel is well located and the room was warm and nice. But as seems to be the problem in other Haka Houses, the corridor, bathroom and lounge were freezing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Venessa Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cute little room - a little small but that was to be expected. Bathrooms and room were clean, and there was a sauna and laundry facilities too. Loved our stay here! ##### Venessa Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosie Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, good facilities esp smart tv ##### Rosie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donna Sep 28, 2025 #### Get what you pay for. Our twin room with ensuite room was clean and tidy. Bathroom space was not utilised and did not provide shelf/counter space or hooks for two. The kitchen was atrociously out of date in comparison to the rest of the place, which was clean and pleasantly decorated. Large communal area was cold, asked to have the big gas fire place turned on when 2bus loads of extra people arrived - an oil heater was added to the communal area. ##### Donna Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing location and reasonable price ##### Gemma Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roxane Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a great stay.

We had workmen making building noise (banging, drilling) outside our room for both afternoons, which was really annoying and hopeless given the cost of the room. Overall, clean and well run, weird having to put our sheets out with the room cost! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ning Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best hotel.in glacier township friendly and profesdional.

But the only down side is it's so loud like you can hear everything it could just have been bad luck with the person next to our room. ##### Raphael Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good facilities.

We were a family of 7 and with kids. Kids had a ball, large expansive kitchen with games section adjourning and the best but is it is a stone's throw away from the town with all the dining options avail. ##### navik Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The large rooms were beautifully presented,and had all the features one could want.The hosts were friendly and v obliging. ##### Jan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elaine Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location and hostel has huge potential to be so nice.. rooms and bathrooms were clean on arrival but unfortunately they are severely understaffed and can see the affects after a day or two (no toilet paper and kitchen/bathrooms are disgusting). Not a reflection on current staff who were very nice but something management needs to look at. ##### Elaine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Fiona Jan 10, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic property, clean, super comfortable beds in the family room, lovely ensuite. Just remember your passports for check in. We only had our Canadian driver licenses & it threw a spanner in the works and made check in a nightmare, despite having prepaid for the room. ##### Fiona Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankenmuth-Hotels.d55113.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Sian-Kaan-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h4093165.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Christopher's Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Channel-Port-Aux-Basques-Hotels-St-Christophers-Hotel.h5806183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Hotel-Moncton.h565034.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [WorldMark Seattle - The Camlin](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-WorldMark-Seattle-The-Camlin.h13232033.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Toronto North York by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Pan-Pacific-Toronto.h19145.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 Fort McMurray](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-McMurray-Hotels-Super-8-Fort-McMurray.h12410952.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Guatemala City](https://www.expedia.ca/Guatemala-City-Hotels.d6053902.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Waterton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterton-Park-Hotels.d181753.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Edmonton N - St. Albert by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Edmonton-N-St-Albert.h49137584.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Hawaii-Family-Hotel.0-0-d213-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/dxb/saskatoon-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Shanghai (PVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/pvg/seoul-to-shanghai) > > [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Warsaw (WAW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/waw/paris-to-warsaw) > > [Flights from Deer Lake (YDF) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ydf/yhm/deer-lake-to-hamilton) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Zanzibar Town (ZNZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/znz/detroit-to-zanzibar) > > [Flights from Grande Prairie (YQU) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqu/yqr/grande-prairie-to-regina) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cars ### Packages > [Reno Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Reno.d602688.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [Curaçao Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao.d6143269.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) ### General
