Stayed for only one night but it was a good one. Myself and two friends drove from Vancouver. They have parking, which is very convenient. Had dinner and some drinks in the ' beaver ' there on site bar/restaurant. The bartender recommended some shots called ' agwa bombs ' I've never seen them before-delicious! Also had the best pizza from their pizza oven. The room was reall big with really comfortable beds ! Surprising for a hostel. There was an en-suite which I liked a lot. Would stay again!

I was so impressed by this place, I arrived not knowing what to expect and I was bowled over by the super friendly atmosphere and the exceedingly helpful staff. I really felt like everyone there went above and beyond to create a relaxed laid back atmosphere and make everyone feel right at home! Rooms

Very clean, bright hostel. Love having a bathroom in a dorm room. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I wish I could stay longer!

Cleanliness really was a problem, it did not look like my room had been vacuumed for weeks, and certainly wasn't for the five days I was there. Kitchen was a pain too, with little room and a cooktop with only one working knob. Staff were friendly, breakfast good and location good too.

Coming from Calgary (Wicked Hostel) and going to Jasper (HI Jasper), the hostel was a little more expensive for similar services, but that is the only comment.

I don't like the fact they have a small bar in the front section of the building that makes a lot of noisy at night. I could not use the sink in the room at all cause it was all clogged. Luckily I was only there for 1 night. Will not recommend this hostel unless you are really care about the location...

The hostel was very dirty, washrooms especially. We didnt get any sleep because the music was too loud and hostels shouldnt be just for all night parties but also for a rest. The staff was unfriendly and not interested.

Just go there. The place is very nice, the atmosphere great, staff will do everything they can to help. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner, but that's fine.

Pretty cool Hostel. Nice Staff, clean and big rooms with own bathroom. Storage for Boards and the bus station to the ski resorts is right next door.

Cool place, I had so much fun and met so many people. The bar is definitely a place to hang, the barman was awesome and the drinks are cheap!

The hostel was really nice, my room was big with a fireplace and a bathroom. Trivia in the bar was fun, and an easy way to make new friends!

Was disappointed with this hostel, and had some major issues.1. Email said check-in was at 2pm, arrived and told it was 3:30pm 2. Returned at 3:30pm, only 3/5 beds were ready to go - had to wait until 7pm for final 2 beds to be cleared out, and had to make them ourselves (did receive 5 free drinks though, which was nice) 3. Ensuite in room had not been cleaned in a few days - edge of tub littered and sink did not drain. Overall this hostel is doable but be prepared for issues.
