HI Calgary City Centre - Hostel

Downtown Calgary, Calgary

Studio Bell and Central Library are a 3 minutes' walk from the property. Calgary Stampede is 10 minutes’ from the property, while the US Consulate is 5 minutes' walk away. Calgary Airport Shuttle bus is 2 blocks away from the hostel. This has been my second time staying there, what gives an idea how much I liked it. Staff received me as an old friend that you have not seen for a long time. I just copy and paste what I put last time: Breakfast was good, the location is right in the centre of Calgary. The place had everything that I needed and the staff was always helpful and willing to help. Other services that were good to have available: phone to call (I did not have signal) and a pool table.

HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre - Hostel

Lake Louise

Set amid the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park, this hostel boasts an on-site cafe and 2 self-catering guest kitchens. It includes private storage for guests and acts as a ski pass vendor.

Guests at HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre can relax in the common room with a fireplace and TV. A small library is available for guests to choose from, and a sauna is also available. Phenomenal hostel- everything you expect from a hostel plus a fantastic restaurant, garden/outdoor area and ideal location. The dorm rooms are small but fine, a toilet inside and showers outside of the dorm. Each bunk bed with USB charger, light. In my dorm room the other travellers were considerate and it was quiet, slept well. You can sign up for shuttle bus (MPT -Mountain Park Transportation) to the lakes at the hostel, although I would recommend doing that online (and early!) - Moraine Lake is especially busy during tourist season. The bus stop for this shuttle bus (there are several) is right outside, hostels parking lot. If you just want to visit Lake Louise lakeside the public bus might be the cheaper option, but a bit of a walk to this station. You can either use the kitchen (buy food at the grocery store near visitor information, 8min walk) or enjoy the restaurant’s breakfast options.

Canmore Alpine Hostel - Alpine Club of Canada

Canmore

Silvertip Golf Course is 6.4 km from this hostel. Canmore Nordic Centre is 14 minutes’ drive away.

Hostelling International is a membership organisation. All non-members can purchase a membership card upon arrival or an additional fee will be added to the room rate. See the fine print for more details. I loved this hostel, I'd dare to say it was the best one I've ever stayed in. We were traveling with a group of 4, so we had a room for ourselves. The kitchen is fully equipped, and it's quite big. There's plenty of space to chill or work, either outside or inside. There are books, board games, billiards, some musical instruments, so you won't get bored. You can also wash (est. $2) clothes and dry (free) them if you need. The hostel is set in a wooden house, and it also adds a lot to its vibe :).
