City center hostel with all the perks.

This is typical of a HI hostel but raised the bar. Though didn't partake in the free breakfast due to fasting but the place was awesome. Friendly and helpful staff and always ready to assist. Right at the City Center and very close to all forms of transportation. I rate it A+++

The front desk staff was so friendly, the check in and check out was very easy. Room is clean, each bunk in the room has its own bed light and electronic charge. The kitchen is very big, hot water and free tea bags were provided all the time. I would recommend this place. The location is in the center of the Calgary downtown, walk in distance to everything nearby. Very safe and convenient place.

This is my third time stay at this hostel and they still keep the high standards of the facilities and the services. Wi-Fi is very good. Just the room has a bit smell because we closed the windows at night but generally I have a very good stay there.

A great central place to stay

A great one night stay. Very convenient for the city centre, for bars, restaurants etc. An interesting mix of hotel and hostel. Nice to mix with other guests at shared breakfast tables. It was the first time I have washed my own breakfast dishes in a hotel, but nothing wrong with that!! It is good to step out of one’s comfort zone occasionally😁😁😁👌
