  • Very good

    Loved the spacious bedroom and the secure access with individual keys. The shared bathroom inside the room gave it a cozy feel. Each bed had its own energy supply, lights, and a shelf, which was convenient.

    The breakfast was very simple and lacked variety. Being on the first floor, there was a lot of noise from the common area, which affected relaxation.

    My recent stay at a centrally located hostel in Banff was a great value for money. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff, especially the friendly guy at the front desk, provided excellent service and were always ready to help.

    Breakfast delights, but it would be even better if there were more options for eggs available every day.

    I stayed at Samesun for 4 nights while exploring the area. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were plenty of outlets for charging electronics, and the electronic fireplace added a cozy touch. The staff, especially Abi and Georgia at the bar, were friendly and provided great service. The free breakfast was tasty and served on time.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    I recently spent Easter at a hostel in Banff and had a great experience. The location was perfect, right on the main street and within walking distance of everything I needed in town. The staff was extremely friendly and offered great recommendations on things to do in the area. One of the best aspects was the communal kitchen, which had a giant fridge and pantry stocked with everything I needed to cook. It was a relief to have all the necessary cooking supplies on site, and the nearby grocery store was also convenient. this hostel was a great choice for solo travelers.

    We loved the breakfast spread with the do-it-yourself pancake station, a unique and fun experience. The location along the main road was extremely convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The availability of multiple toilets, including one downstairs and in the common room, ensured that there were no long queues. The thoughtfully provided fans for each bed added to our comfort during our stay.

    All good, no negative aspects to mention.

    I got amazing value for my money at this hostel. The room was clean and spacious, and having a bathroom attached was a nice touch. Plus, the location was perfect, with easy access to the main town. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home.

    The breakfast menu could have had more options.

    This hostel is a great option for budget travelers who want a comfortable stay and a lively atmosphere. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. The staff is friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome from the moment you check in. The location is ideal, just a short walk from downtown and close to all the attractions. The included breakfast is delicious and offers a variety of options. Plus, the hostel has great facilities like a bar and activities every night.

    The bar area can get crowded during breakfast time, but it's a minor inconvenience compared to the overall positive experience.
