    We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the place was spotless. the location was perfect - just far enough from the bustling downtown, but still close enough to easily get there. We loved the themed nights at the bar, which made it easy to meet new people. the curtains on the beds provided extra privacy, and we really enjoyed hanging out with some of the employees after their shifts. the temperature in the room was just right, thanks to the air funnel machine. And the mini fan kept us cozy and comfortable.

    We felt very well taken care of, with no complaints whatsoever.

    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.

    Clean hostel with helpful staff. Ensuite rooms with jacuzzi-like baths and working gas fireplaces. Kitchen has everything needed for meal prep. Social and fun common spaces, bar, and activities. Excellent location near town. Breakfast included homemade food and free towels provided.

    The breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of options to choose from. the location was perfect, right in the heart of town with easy access to all the shops and restaurants. the staff were friendly and always willing to help with any questions or recommendations. the room was clean and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep after a long day of exploring.

    The lack of proper ventilation in the room was a major issue. It became incredibly hot and stuffy, even with the one small fan provided.
