Hostelling International is a membership organisation. All non-members can purchase a membership card upon arrival or an additional fee will be added to the room rate. See the fine print for more details.

I loved this hostel, I'd dare to say it was the best one I've ever stayed in. We were traveling with a group of 4, so we had a room for ourselves. The kitchen is fully equipped, and it's quite big. There's plenty of space to chill or work, either outside or inside. There are books, board games, billiards, some musical instruments, so you won't get bored. You can also wash (est. $2) clothes and dry (free) them if you need. The hostel is set in a wooden house, and it also adds a lot to its vibe :).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Out of all the hostels I’ve stayed in on this Canada trip, this one has been my favourite. The staff are friendly and accomodating. Rooms are spacious with each bed providing a privacy curtain, light, storage, and power points. Toilet and shower within the room was convenient. Hostel was quiet and centrally located.

    This is a great hostel - everything was tidy, quiet, and professional. We liked having curtains on the beds. The beds also were quiet - not those creaky ones in some hostels. Free parking in a safe parking lot was an added bonus. Canmore is gorgeous!!
