Excellent location, excellent staff (especially cleaners!). One drawback, though: only 2 plugs in a 6-bed dorm. Apart from that, everything was just peachy. Would definitely stay there again, and recommend it further.

That was nice, clean bed, not small room. Each of us big has big locker, you can put backpack. And the best thing was we could eat breakfast: banana, bread, muffin, pancake, serial, it was pretty good. But it is a little difficult to reach there.

hi, i was travelling cross country never stayed in a hostel before, i would like to say that its one for the best and economical place to stay in calgary . even though you share bathrooms in the hostels but they are cleaning it every hour or so. the staff always look for better ways to help you in the best of their capacities. They have kitchen too so just bring your stuff heat and eat. it is not a fake review , I really liked the place. thanks guys keep up the good work

It a good enough hostel. They don't do a tour to the rockies though which is a shame.

Very nice hostel, friendly staff, rooms and bathrooms 100% clean (even at 2am), beds were quite wide and comfortable, breakfast was typical hostel-style, good - only concern about feeding the food, at about 9am when there were most people, everyone took bread and some juice and there was no more for quite long time...it was a little noisy due to construction works near to the hostel but it's not hostel's fault of course...as there is nothing cheaper in town, it's definitely N.1 choice...

Great Hostel!!! Staff are very helpful. Location is really close to downtown, the only slight problem is the homeless people and drug users that seem to hang about by the park next door but not a big issue, never had trouble from them. Kitchen is fairly big and easy to use. Rooms are normal style bunk bed dorm rooms. Bathrooms are always clean and tidy. It would be better if they had more than two showers. A BBQ was organised the night I checked in. Just a really really Great Hostel!!!

Had a great stay here travelers are always fun but the staff at hi Calgary made my trip really enjoyable. The airport shuttle is 5 min walk from the hostel and the cost is $2.75. Recommended.

This is my favor hostel in Canada and it's very clean with super freindly staff. Did not have ftree breakfast (I woke up late). They have free wifi (great), free coffee and tea. I love the living room - it's very big. The location is close to city centre and it's abiut 25 minute from the greyhound station - it's about $12 from the greyhound statiuon to the hostel.. Recomment this hostel to other travellers
