SameSun Backpacker Lodge - Revelstoke

Revelstoke is a small mountain community in the Canadian Rockies and SameSun Backpacker Lodge - Revelstoke is much the same as the town -- small, accommodating and very friendly. Don't expect a bustling hostel with loads of backpackers.

What you will find at SameSun is a friendly atmosphere and very comfortable accommodations. The dorm rooms are located upstairs and appear to be brand new. Beds are more than adequate but rooms lack lockers and storage facilities, which is not really a problem because the dorm rooms are large and only accommodate four people maximum.

There's free wireless internet and computers available downstairs along side comfy couches. Upstairs you'll find a small but cosy TV room and a snooker table overlooking the hot tub. The kitchens are also upstairs and it's refreshing to have awesome facilities in such a small hostel. The bathrooms are kept spotlessly clean but are small with only two showers available in the morning. This is no issue considering the size of the hostel.

Parking is available at the rear of the hostel for no cost and you'll find everything you need at the doorstep -- bars, restaurants, gas stations. Keep in mind Revelstoke is a very small community and there is not too much action -- this will limit the amount of time you spend here. However, skiing and boarding is world renowned around these parts and is worth checking out. The hostel is a wealth of knowledge on this and they have discounted lift tickets available.
