I liked the location because it is out of the centre and it's more relaxed and quiet. The views are spectacular, beds comfortable and the bus ticket to use within Banff was a nice surprise :)

Australia
The facilities were perfect for what we needed, the communal kitchen had great cooking utensils which were clean and modern. The kitchen and communal bathrooms were also cleaned very regularly. The staff were really helpful when we needed to extend our stay and made sure we got the same room to save us moving our stuff. Really appreciated our stay here and would recommend if you want a cheaper option in Banff.
