    Good location, friendly staff, clean facility. Time of breakfast only 8am-9am. It will be good it can be 7am-9am, which is offered in another facility. I couldn't make time to have breakfast when I was there because my group meeting time was 8am.

    It was right downtown Calgary,although the street people are there it’s so monitored, the hostel and the grounds were monitored, the market along the river was pretty cool, the restaurants and people mingling down there were very friendly ,I’m from up north,was there for a weekend and honestly would love to go again Did you read the review? Loved it

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I think this is the best hostel I’ve been to, ever!.. yes it is basic, but it exceeded our expectations.. looks quite nice actually.. we had booked a double room with private bathroom and it was perfect, cheap compared to many others, central and very close to the public library which I recommend to visit cause it’s probably the nicest thing to see in this city ahahah.. it had everything we needed.. yes, we were in a basement but still.. there were common rooms to do the laundry.. watch tv and just hang around and rest.. a room upstairs too with kitchen and tables.. staff was helpful, friendly and welcoming. They have space to store your luggage for free if you’ve got a late or early flight.. it was great for our last night before flying back home.. I definitely recommend if you don’t want to spend too much..
