A Goldilocks - Just Right Stay!
You couldn’t find a friendlier front desk staff. They took a real interest in not only checking me in but being Uber friendly. Overall the amenities met all my needs. I also like the vibe of hostels and when combine that with private room, it’s the best of both worlds IMO - just right!

We had a lovely one night stay at HI Banff. We booked a private room with double bed, price was decent considering it's Banff. There was a shared bathroom and shower on our floor, which were pretty clean. Lots of cozy common areas to relax, read, or get some work done. Staff were helpful and accommodating. There's free parking and we were provided with free public transit ticket which was nice. There was a bus stop just few steps away from the hostel and short ride to downtown.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was super cute and the staff was very friendly. I wish I would have stayed more than one night. The wifi worked very well, the shower water was hot! The parking lot is very small, but luckily was able to park in the grass.

Affordable stay in a beautiful location
It was what I would expect from a hostel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant was good but could use a few more vegan options. Great place to meet people from all over the world. Since this is a hostel used by hikers they should have a water bottle refilling station. A gender-neutral shower room would also be appreciated.
