(Lake Louise)
 "The Lake Louise HI hostel is tucked away amongst pine trees trimmed with snow, surrounded by towering mountains. The spectacular lake is a hilly five kilometers away, and a small supermarket and other speciality stores are just down the road. This hostel is an amazing place to stay. It is more like a hotel than any hostels this reviewer has stumbled across. Dorm rooms have four to six beds,...
(Banff Town)
 "The Banff Y Mountain Lodge is situated at 102 Spray Avenue just south of the Bow Valley River. The lodge is within an easy, two-minute walk from downtown Banff, but situated quite far from the bus and train station -- which may prove to be a difficult walk especially if you are carrying heavy bags. The Lodge offers a gorgeous view of the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. Accommodation offered...
(Banff Town)
 "Super. If you're thinking of going skiing in Banff (maybe even more generally Canada since Banff is very easy to get from Calgary) this is the place to stay. Its abit out of Banff town but there's a wee bus (the Happy Bus) that comes round every half hour mountain time. It's a nice walk anyway. The staff are friendly, the accomodation is great (much better than some chalets I've stayed in...
(Banff Town)
 "My fiance and I stayed at the Global Village last year and I had a great time! The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. The location was perfect too!" … "Since SameSun has taken over, much renovation has been done. The atmosphere was very friendly. There is a keg party held each Saturday night. Great place to stay!" … "This hostel provided me and my travelling buddy with...
(Castle Junction)
"The HI - Castle Mountain hostel can feel a bit crowded at times with fourteen beds to a room and a smallish kitchen that can get very bustling at times. This is offset by a spacious common area for groups, electricity, showers fed from a rather small hot water tank, a nice selection of books, magazines, and maps. Susan, the host, is very talkative and always has bright eyes and a friendly...
(Near Lake Louise)
 "HI - Mosquito Creek Wilderness Hostel is a little like camping, but with a nicer bed and a solid roof over your head. Dorm cabins have eight or more bunks. A spacious common room surrounding a fireplace is good for large groups. Propane powers everything -- there's no electricity or plumbing, but there is a fresh water supply. Did we mention the wood-fired sauna? Do not underestimate the...
(Icefields Parkway)
 "A few advisories regarding HI - Rampart Creek Wilderness Hostel are in order. First, bring your own drinking water or be ready to boil what they have on hand. The local water board has posted an advisory, although hostel management says it's just a formality and the water is ok. Unfortunately, the kitchen building has some rodent issues -- at dawn, mice can be heard scurrying in the walls or...
(Canmore)
"HI - Canmore Clubhouse Hostel's small dorm rooms offer more of a sense of privacy than other hostels. An excellent kitchen, common areas with fireplace and good reading selection, washrooms, showers, wimpy electric sauna, deck, laundry room, and internet computer make this one of the comfiest hostels in the Canadian Rockies. The hostel has a beautiful location tucked away on a hillside just...


Banff National Park Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Steve
When staying in Banff, be sure to drive the Icefields Parkway up to Jasper. It's absolutely breathtaking.
Comment by Campfire Girl
If you're in Banff, make sure to eat dinner at St. Jame's Gate. It's a "true" Irish pub. The food is delicious, the staff friendly and helpful, and the ambience very cozy. During the winter, this is THE place to get tips on the local ski areas, as most instructors, etc. stop in for a beer after work.
