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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Great location. The property itself is pretty tired, the shower had orange mold around the bottom edge and floor. There was no lid on the bathroom bin (it had broken and not been replaced) which was unpleasant with 6 females in the room! The kitchen is too small to even make a hot drink in if a few other people are using the space too. ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 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 #### Chris Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Always a great experience staying at Samesun. Amazing opportunity to meet people from around the world. Beaver bar is always a great vibe. Best hostel in Banff. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Mar 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### DA Jun 30, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Limited parking, no staff work at front desk at night. ##### DA Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I loved everything about this place! 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frédérique May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Comfy bed, clean place, lovely hostel in general ##### Frédérique Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Juncheng Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Great location and price! ##### Juncheng Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carson Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to meet travellers from around the world ##### Carson Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Hannah Sep 10, 2024 Safe and friendly vibes. ##### Hannah Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place to stay, friendly staff.

Rooms could benefit from having a small quieter work area with access to electrical plugs and a table. ##### Jeremy Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 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 #### Natalia Nov 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall great, parking was very limited and difficult ##### Natalia ### 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Elk & Avenue Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-The-Elk-Avenue-Hotel.h189909.Hotel-Information) > > [Bow View Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Bow-View-Lodge.h1419111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Ridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Hidden-Ridge-Resort.h3845.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Port O'Call Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Port-OCall-Hotel.h10360.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Edmonton Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Edmonton-Downtown-Hotel.h16761.Hotel-Information) > > [Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Douglas-Fir-Resort-And-Chalets.h904421.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Palliser](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-The-Fairmont-Palliser.h10652.Hotel-Information) > > [Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Riviera-Plaza-And-Conference-Centre-Calgary-Airport.h428621.Hotel-Information) > > [King Edward Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-King-Edward-Hotel.h2899948.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Sheraton-Cavalier-Calgary-Hotel.h7604.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Park-Lodge.h460527.Hotel-Information) > > [Peaks Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Peaks-Hotel-And-Suites.h3150654.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Suites Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Basecamp-Suites-Banff.h74883714.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-The-Westin-Calgary.h23026.Hotel-Information) > > [Buffalo Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Buffalo-Mountain-Lodge.h35659.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs.h13652.Hotel-Information) > > [Tunnel Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Tunnel-Mountain-Resort.h16324.Hotel-Information) > > [The Malcolm Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-The-Malcolm-Hotel-By-CLIQUE.h19460361.Hotel-Information) > > [Brewster Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Brewsters-Mountain-Lodge.h868296.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel by APA](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Coast-Edmonton-Plaza-Hotel-By-APA.h528692.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Ptarmigan Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Ptarmigan-Inn.h41022.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel.h688930.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Calgary.h448308.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerfoot Inn & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Deerfoot-Inn-Casino.h1351229.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Edmonton-ICE-District.h31503722.Hotel-Information) > > [HI Banff Alpine Centre - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-HI-Banff-Alpine-Centre.h7700310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs Gold Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs-Gold.h64577139.Hotel-Information) > > [Moose Hotel And Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Moose-Hotel-And-Suites.h14703440.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimrock Resort Hotel Banff by Accor](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-The-Rimrock-Resort-Hotel.h15672.Hotel-Information) > > [Fantasyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Fantasyland-Hotel.h460534.Hotel-Information)
