A word on HI Wilderness Hostels
Get back to nature with HI's network of wilderness hostels. They're a varied bunch! Some have lights powered by propane, some have rustic wood-burning saunas, at some you'll get electricity, and at others you'll get to pump your own water. But whatever you're after, these hostels with their simple comforts immerse you in the natural splendour of the Rockies.
You'll be able to savour true silence, night skies bursting with stars and the knowledge that some of the world's most magnificent outdoors is, really, just out the door. Dotted along the Icefields Parkway, ad throughout the Parks, these hostels are set into pockets of trees, alongside creeks, or at the base of thousand-foot-high rock faces. Whether you get there by car, bike or on food, your efforts are rewarded with some of the finer, simpler things in life - a warm fire, cozy lounges, and the chance to share food with new friends while you relive the day's adventures.

Had difficulty finding the hostel when using Apple Maps. DON’T USE IT. It takes you down a random road to some sort of business with heavy equipment. Use google maps to get here instead. hostel world needs to put an actual address for hostel instead of the mailing address because if you use that, you’ll end up in the town of Banff at a random lodge. When we tried to call to say we were going to be late for check in, the number isnt a direct line to the actual hostel, so it was useless as well.

For the price, I would say you pretty much get what you paid for. I just wish there’s an outlet near the beds. But other than that, it was a great stay. And amazing living room. Also, make sure you bring soap and shampoo cuz they don’t provide it.
