THE ORCHARD (HOSTEL WITH PRIVATE BUNKS)

Radium Hot Springs

Located in Radium Hot Springs, THE ORCHARD (HOSTEL WITH PRIVATE BUNKS) features a shared lounge, terrace, tennis court, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel has ski storage space. After traveling around BC/Alberta for a month this is for sure the best hostel I've stayed at. Reminds of similar concepts in Asia/Europe. This had a very cool layout though which also accommodated couples in their own capsule if they so wish. Very tidy, nice little kitchen with everything we needed to cook breakfast/lunch and a super friendly owner to top it all off! No doubt of where we would stay if we pass through this cool little town again.
