Banff International Hostel

Does the job, not exactly luxurious but for cheaper than the alternatives

Affordable and great stay. Good breakfast and facilities for a hostel level experience.

Great communal kitchen, friendly environment, and shared dorm rooms that don't feel crowded. It's well organised but still felt like an old fashioned hostel, a place you'll stay again and again.

You prefer to stay within your budget and find accommodation with a shower facility without specific expectations. You could give it a try. Their breakfast is sufficient to fill your stomach. However, having additional items to cook for yourself would be ideal if you enjoy breakfast at the most. The dormitory is suitable for sleeping and showering, but remember that the rooms are only moderately clean. The staff doesn't seem to clean the lockers, drawers, or shelves very often. There may be confusion about whether these items belong to the guests. You may find half-drunk coffee or water bottles in the room, some of which have been there for at least two days. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also, a helpful tip: bringing your own fan for the hot temperatures is a good idea since they don't have air conditioning, and there are only a few fans. You might have trouble getting a good night's sleep. The only highlight is their staff: nice and helpful.
