August 2007 — "Recently, on the way home from a weekend in Kamloops, my car-pool companion and I planned ahead and decided to stay over in Banff for a night on the way home. I had stayed at the HI hostel in town before and suggested it as a cheap alternative to a hotel. On both this visit and my previous one, I was incredibly impressed by how fancy this place is for a hostel. I've stayed at a couple of hostels in Canada, some in the UK and loads in Australia, and this is by far the most impressive. To be honest, the shared rooms are pretty standard. The rest of the hostel though, is outstanding. The bathrooms look like Swedish spas with wooden doors and showers, as well as big mirrors. There is lounge onsite, which we checked out for a quick drink. We stopped there on a Sunday and it wasn't overly busy but I can imagine that it gets packed on Friday nights during ski season. There is also a restaurant, where we had an enormous breakfast the next day. They've got free WiFi in all the rooms and the hostel holds lots of weekly events for guests. Finally, all of the staff are friendly and helpful. Despite the fact that it offers shared accommodation, the HI hostel in Banff looks and feels like a luxury mountain lodge."
