Negative Reviews

negative:

Very small kitchen

There have been complaints about the size of the kitchen at this hostel. When multiple people are trying to cook at once, there isn't enough space and it can be frustrating if you are attempting to prepare a quick meal with that many people around.

negative:

Loud guests

Numerous guests have complained that this property gets quite loud, as a lot of people stay there when visiting for Banff's nightlife. As a result, guests have struggle to sleep, as other guests have been inconsiderate and the staff hasn't done much to fix the issue.

negative:

Shared bathroom situation

Although guests have been aware that the bathrooms are shared at this hostel, they have felt as though there are too many people sharing each bathroom. This has led to people having trouble getting into the bathrooms in the morning and these rooms ending up very messy as the day goes on.
