Jun 11, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very relaxing, quiet and pleasant hostel. I enjoyed my stay because of the peaceful wilderness surrounding this hostel. The manager was very helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating and kept a very tidy accommodation. ##### Evelyn Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### David, London, Ontario Jun 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Economic Place close to Banff Wow, didn't expect to feel so at home, but so enjoyed the people at this hostel. Even though it was simple, all I needed for was there - a clean, quiet bedroom and washroom, respectful and friendly people as well as a knowledgeable and helpful staff. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in May 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### MARGARET, Calgary Nov 29, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Mountain Getaway This is an old hostel with dorm type accommodation and they make it as comfortable and clean as it can be for such a dated building. I visited in the winter on a weeknight and I found the bed (which you make yourself with supplied linen) to be comfortable and slept well. The common kitchen is well equipped and the living area has a wood burning stove in the centre of a panoramic windowed room surrounded by magnificent scenery. I found the host, Tony, to be friendly and competant. ##### MARGARET ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Basecamp Resorts Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Basecamp-Resorts-Canmore.h18567410.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Chateau-Jasper.h10253.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Juniper Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-The-Juniper-Hotel.h1216217.Hotel-Information) > > [Blackstone Mountain Lodge by CLIQUE](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Blackstone-Mountain-Lodge-By-CLIQUE.h2238263.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Deer Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Cambridge-Red-Deer-Hotel-Conference.h36290665.Hotel-Information) > > [Camrose Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Camrose-Hotels-Hotel-Camrose-Resort-Casino.h4868881.Hotel-Information) > > [Pocaterra Inn and Waterslide](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Pocaterra-Inn-And-Waterslide.h64043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canmore Rocky Mountain Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Canmore-Rocky-Mountain-Inn.h6941250.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoney Nakoda Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Kananaskis-Hotels-Stoney-Nakoda-Resort-Casino.h2459396.Hotel-Information) > > [Canmore Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Canmore-Inn-Suites.h27348412.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Rocky Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Rocky-Mountain-Resort.h2746.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bellstar Suites at Solara Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Solara-Resort-Spa-Bellstar-Hotels-Resorts.h3912100.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Grande Prairie Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Grande-Prairie-Airport.h67391336.Hotel-Information) > > [Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Kananaskis-Hotels-Kananaskis-Mountain-Lodge.h14175.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Tonquin Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Tonquin-Inn.h6709279.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoneridge Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Stoneridge-Mountain-Resort.h3762622.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Coast-Canmore-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Rockies Resort - Bellstar Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Grande-Rockies-Resort-Bellstar-Hotels-Resorts.h3197694.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Lodge Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Basecamp-Lodge.h1115492.Hotel-Information) > > [Medicine Hat Lodge, Resort, Casino, and Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham.](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Medicine-Hat-Lodge.h6704.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Creek Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Silver-Creek-Lodge.h2459395.Hotel-Information)
