Finding hostel options in North America can be tough, but the Canmore Downtown Hostel delivers the goods. Private rooms and shared hotel dorm rooms are available for booking. Dorm beds are still very comfortable, with large bunk beds, drapes, and modern washrooms.

The new hostel is well equipped, comfortable, clean, and has friendly staff. Facilities available at the hostel include a shared kitchen, lounge, and washing machines. Private rooms are without frills but comfortable and have a private bathroom.

We've never stayed at the hostel but visited the property and spoke with guests. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, and it's common for guests to find travel/hiking buddies in the hostel. The hostel is an excellent option for solo travelers, couples, or young travelers on a budget! Although, peak rates are pretty far from being cheap.
