Calgary Airport Shuttle bus is 2 blocks away from the hostel. HI Calgary City Centre Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I arrived, the friendly and helpful front desk staff made me feel at home. Their hospitality truly stood out and set the tone for a fantastic stay. The location is unbeatable, conveniently near the tram station, making it easy to explore the city. The hostel itself is well-maintained and provides a comfortable and quiet stay. The reading room is an excellent spot to unwind, offering a peaceful atmosphere that I appreciated after a day of sightseeing. Cleanliness is clearly a priority here, as the toilets and common areas were spotless. The addition of pool tables was a fun touch and a great way to socialize with fellow travelers. Breakfast was another highlight – hearty and delicious, perfect for fueling up for the day. Plus, having tea and coffee available 24/7 was a thoughtful perk. Overall, HI Calgary City Centre Hostel is an excellent choice for travelers seeking a comfortable, clean, and friendly place to stay in Calgary. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Situated in Canmore, 29 km from The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore Alpine Hostel - Alpine Club of Canada features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 29 km from Banff Park Museum. The location of the hostel is exceptional: very secluded in the woods, on a fairly steep slope of SW exposure, lots of sunshine day time (even in winter :-), beautiful view from the deck towards Three Sisters. Main lodge and the cabins are built in classic alpine style. The place is far enough from the hwy not to hear it but close enough to downtown Canmore (5 min or so). The interior of the main lodge is very cozy and stylish (wood), too; the common use rooms are nicely decorated, etc. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.

HI Rampart Creek - Hostel in Saskatchewan River Crossing provides accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel has a sauna and a shared kitchen.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Perfect spot to rest . We enjoyed the suggestion to refresh at the stream or walk uo the hill behind or relax by the fire . We enjoyed hearing fellow travelers adventures . Since we were mostly tent camping but all sites were full on the weekend we had our own pillow , sheet and sleeping bag but those are offered nice and clean for weary travelers.
