Good

Liked: They provided public bus tickets making easier to explore Banff. Common areas are really nice.Good food in the bar.
Disliked: The room for two people is indeed a room with four beds, so the free space is really tight.

Exciting area, easy transport to...

Liked: Shared bathrooms were clean and accessible. The rooms were tidy and bins emptied throughout our stay. The provision of tap water, vending machines and on site cafe - very tasty. The outdoor seating areas were inviting and plentiful inclusive of benches, hammocks and chairs in a quiet location. Enjoyed the free bus passes as an added bonus!The room had a sheet, blanket and towel per bed for use and a fan for the warmer days. The kitchen area was super tidy, with clear instructions for provisions of dried foods, fresh foods (walk in fridge) and frozen foods - large freezer as well as ovens, hobs, toasters and a kettle. Lovely location with a gorgeous walk to town through Tunnel Mountain trail - this is a must!
Disliked: Each night we were there, they had a karaoke running until midnight which became a little tedious.

Amazing stay, as always

EXCEPTIONAL,MEMORABLE AND EXCITING

Liked: What a superb place and location to stay.The staff is SUPER helpful.Everything just feels so sorted there.Love the fact that it is a little away from the main Banff Avenue. It gives you a feel of a cozy hill station.We attended the community bbq and it was so nice. Rooms are just what you need. A place to keep your stuff, crash and shower. Basic, functional and practical.From laundry to kitchen, everything is really sorted like I said.Best thing...the hammocks in the garden. What a way to just chill after a hectic day and unwind.The day passes for the transport are AMAZING. literally more than half of your Banff attractions get covered. Route 1,2,4 and 6...woah
Disliked: Just the size of the showers.
