2138-24186233 this is my booking number that I didn't have on me at the time. When I gave my name I was told th\at I hadn't booked, so I lost the initial credit card booking fee. I had to get the room as a walk in customer.

I really enjoyed my stay here, my only problem was lack if power outlets in the bedroom however there are plenty in the common areas. This hostel is welcoming, friendly and homely, everything you want when traveling alone :)

The hostel was great, in a good location and the staff were very helpful. The only thing this hostel was marked down on was fun, because there were no social activities that were organised, and you were only allowed to drink beer or wine before 11am in the hostel.

It is everything you need in a hostel - clean, comfortable, big fully equipped kitchen, great location. We were blown away at how helpful and friendly the staff were. They did an amazing job and we felt well looked after.

Thanks for the review. Lockers are provided free of charge in the room. If you do not have a lock, it can be purchased at the front desk. In addition, we provide free storage if you wish not to use the locker in your room. We deep clean the washrooms daily. I'm sorry to hear that the washroom cleanliness was up to your standards. We will monitor the washrooms more closely as a result of your comment. Hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Jason Wong, Manager

1 min walk to the City Hall and the downtown Calgary. Decent sized rooms for 6 beds, big lockers and very clean bathrooms - just two showers tho. They serve a free breakfast from 6:30 with fruits, cereals and pancakes.
