一人旅で初めてドミトリーに泊まりました。 めちゃめちゃ綺麗とは行きませんでしたが、周りのホテルと比較してかなりお安いので納得の内容ではありました。 同じ部屋になった人や朝食会場で話した他の国の人と交流が持てて楽しかったです! 女性専用ドミトリーを予約したのに間違いで男女混合ドミトリーに案内されました。女性専用が満室だったので部屋の移動はできませんでしたし、ホテルからの返金はなかったですが、Trip.comさんが丁寧に差額分コイン付与の対応をしてくださいました。 節約して旅したい方や旅慣れている方には良いと思います!立地も中心から少し歩きますが、バス停も近くて便利でした。

Overall, it's great. The location is a bit far from downtown, but you can walk there easily, and there's an IGA mart nearby, so it's convenient. There's also a bus stop right nearby. I thought the bedding was clean, but... when I lifted the comforter sheet, I saw something that wasn't very good underneath, and... well... I guess it can't be helped because it's a hostel. However, when I told them that the sheets were dirty during my stay and that I wanted to change them, they gladly gave me new ones. You can use the kitchen as you like, but the dishes aren't very clean, so it's better to wash them and use them again. And there are a lot of people staying, so it's a bit crowded. The heating in the room is really strong, so you don't have to worry about the cold. For laundry, tell the lobby staff and give them to them, and they'll wash and dry them and fold them for you. The price was $10. The nearby coin laundry is a bit cheaper, but considering the convenience, the hostel is okay (the washing machine is a bit dirty... if you feel uncomfortable, I recommend using the coin laundry). It can't be helped that it's a hostel, but instead, all the common areas close at 11 o'clock, so it's quiet in the middle of the night. I went during the off-season, so it didn't feel that noisy. For reference, the 6-person female room is close to the common areas. The beds do creak when there's someone above them. Still, if you get breakfast included at a low price in Banff, you can put up with all the inconveniences. The breakfast menu is the same every day, but it's still delicious. There are some very friendly staff members and some who are a bit blunt. Still, it's a hostel where they're generally friendly and satisfactory.

It may be because of my roommate, but the room is very dirty and smells bad.

It's very close to downtown and very convenient. The receptionist saw me dragging two heavy suitcases and came to help me. Each person's bed has a socket, a charging cable plug and a small light, and the bathroom is inside the room so you don't have to go outside. But it's a pity that because many travelers are long-term tenants, there are a lot of things in the room and it's very messy. I was a little scared when I first entered.

A cost-effective hostel in the small town of Banff. There are buses directly to major scenic spots at the door, including free shuttle buses to the ski resort, making travel very convenient. The room is clean, with free breakfast and Happy Hour specials on snacks and drinks.

The room is humid and the door is broken. When someone is usually bathroom, you would hear the noise from the fan as a smith hammering the metal.
