The Raging Elk Adventure Lodging

Ok, first, there are fantastic employees! Especially the gent who handles the bar! He even let us play pool free! Great dude! The Pods are a bit small for sleeping, but it works just fine. And having a shower is awesome. If I come back to Fernie, I'll be spending the nights at the Raging Elk!

This was the first time ever staying in a hostel. It is a great place. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. They have good snack food in the Kodiak lounge. There is no restaurant there. But it is easy to find some. The Raging Elk is situated in a good spot. It has a nice outdoor sitting area. Also has a kitchen area downstairs for customers to use. The weather was ok when we were there. The price isn't bad either. So if you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay. I recommend trying this place out. From Carl B. Vancouver, BC.

Staffs are nice, the service is great. There are lots of entertainment facilities in the basement room and the outdoor Lounge is a great place to stay with friends at night.

Very good price. But very basic. I had to make bed. Lots of stairs. No food service. It’s a hostel not a hotel.

Overall I enjoyed our stay at the hostel- we stayed in a four bed family room, which was clean (as was the rest of the hostel) beds and bedding were comfy, and the kitchen contained what we needed to make meals. The location is within walking distance of some shops, cafe’s, restaurants. Unfortunately the family pod we stayed in was super hot throughout the night, as I assume the other family pods are as well. +28 Celsius our first night, the small fan in the room provides little relief on its own, and I found keeping the door and window open cooled the room slightly, but, even though the other guests never made me feel unsafe, I just prefer to have a closed door while sleeping, especially with kids in the room also.The temperature was not bearable with the room closed though. For the second night I bought an extension cord, propped the fan in the slightly opened door, barricaded with a chair because that made me feel better and the fan brought in enough cool night air that made the room comfortable for sleeping.

With the area, it’s is understandable for the price and facilities. However, safety is my biggest concern and that’s the reason I book for private room, it isn’t really private tho when the w window which facing the hall can be open from both inside and OUTSIDE. Also, I do apologize if this is wrong but looks like there’s one key for all the rooms since it can be used to open the hallway door as well. Another thing is I hope they care more about cleanliness, maybe it’s because I have high expectation for the cleanliness, but it doesn’t that clean as people been reviewing.
